I Am Exasperated [View all]

I am still having a problem processing the fact that Trump won. I can't believe how many stupid, ignorant, and foolish people there are in this country. Kamala Harris should be the incoming President, not Trump. I can't believe that we are going to have four years of this imbecile and his clown car of idiots that will make up his cabinet. This is like a bad TV reality show and the country is going to suffer for it. When DOGE fires a large number of government employees and the Trump tariffs go into effect, expect the economy to crater. We should have been welcoming four to eight years of sanity and peace under the Harris Administration. Instead we have a four year nightmare headlined by the Orange Idiot and the Freaks and Morons that he is appointing to the "government".
