Democrats won the votes of Americans making over $100,000. Trump won the votes of those making less than $100,000.
Kamala Harris received and spent in full more than 4 times the amount of campaign contributions than Trump did.
The amount of Billionaires supporting the Democratic Party leading up to the 2024 election was greater than 2-to-1 over Trump.
Get your facts straight, or shut the fuck up.
Also, Bernie Sanders has been the #1 recipient of Big Pharma dollars to his campaigns in Congress. And I know that Bernie is just as unaware of where is money is coming from as Eric Adams was and like most politicians are, but when you're the guy rallying against Big Pharma every day and "speaking truth to power", you should probably have some good accountants making sure that you aren't the biggest recipient of Big Pharma money in Congress.
It also helps the Democrats very little, when Bernie has a net worth over $3 Million and 3 large properties that make most American's houses look like shacks by comparison. That $3 Million is especially impressive, considering that Bernie Sanders has never worked a single day in his very long and privileged life.
Fuck you, Bernie.

I'm retired. I can do whatever the fuck I want to while I'm in my house.
Also. My underpants aren't made of tin foil, so I don't see what the benefit of wearing them on my head would accomplish.
I know you jerk off to the image in your head of me multiple times every day, but I hate to break it to you that I'm currently wearing a hoodie and sweatpants in the middle of a very cold flash this week.
But 6 months from now in the dead of summer I will be bare-ass naked when I'm destroying your stupid takes.

'Honestly terrifying': Yosemite National Park is in chaos because of Trump
California's beloved national park is on the brink of disaster
By Ashley Harrell, National Parks Bureau Chief | Feb 13, 2025
https://www.sfgate.com/california-parks/article/yosemite-national-park
-in-chaos-20163260.php
Yosemite National Park is in trouble. Hamstrung by President Donald Trump’s hiring freeze, hundreds of rescinded job offers and the threat of coming layoffs, the park is poised to enter its busiest months of the year severely short-staffed. Not only that, but the park’s day-use reservation system — created to protect park resources and improve the visitor experience by reducing crowding — appears unlikely to return this year because of Trump.
Worst of it all, say current and former National Park Service employees, nonprofit leaders and other Yosemite experts interviewed by SFGATE, is that decades of efforts to protect the park’s ecosystems for future generations are being derailed by Trump.
This wouldn’t be the first time that Yosemite is forced to operate with a skeleton staff and no restrictions on visitors. It happened before in December 2018, during Trump’s first term. Without park rangers to guide and monitor their behavior, visitors left garbage at scenic viewpoints, brought dogs to ecologically sensitive meadows and other areas where pets were prohibited, drove over curbs, and even defecated on the ground next to locked restrooms, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. When temperatures dropped, the garbage and human waste froze to the ground. (All caused by Trump being a giant asshole who arbitrarily shut down the National Park Service.)
“The trash cans weren’t getting emptied. There was so much garbage, and everything was getting overrun,” remembers Ken Yager, president of the Yosemite Climbing Association and founder of Yosemite Facelift, a yearly volunteer trash cleanup.

You have personality traits that mesh well with some American stereotypes. You're highly intelligent but also deeply oppositional. You have something like ADHD. That meshes with some American cultural stereotypes of individualism, disdain for authority and authoritative education (YOU HATE BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO), independence, do-it-yourselfism.
That is very much tolerated, and even encouraged, in many parts of America. In other cultures, those traits would be beaten out of you, or at least strongly discouraged.
In India, for example, the key to getting ahead is a formal degree and CONNECTIONS. Without it, you're relegated to the unwashed masses. Independent business activity, such as restoring houses or even building a farmholding, would probably be preyed on by corrupt officials and gangs from all sides until nothing was left. You'd be left beating up on women as an expression of your stubbornness.
In China, the big cultural trait seems to be Fitting In. There is room for small independent businesses, but your oppositional political reactions would get you in trouble with your neighbors and probably most officials. The intrusive ever-present cyber-everything and various social credit databases would bug the shit out of you.
In much of eastern Europe, formal education is still prized. Not by you. Aside from perhaps having difficulty attending to formal lectures, YOU HATE BEING TOLD "THE FACTS" by someone you think is a simpering twit.
In western Europe and Britain, which are highly conformist, you'd have to parrot the LGBTQ/ globalist line and get vaccinated.
Clearly, none of the Muslim cultures are for you, not (just) bc they're Muslim... bc even if you could get past your prejudice against that specific religion, you're still non-religious. YOU HATE BEING TOLD WHAT TO BELIEVE.
Based on the number of do-it-yourself vidoes by highly skilled individual craftsmen, you'd probably fit in comfortably in Poland or Vietnam. Most likely Poland bc of climate similarity.
The point being, SIX, that some of your personality traits are at least tolerated here. We have a meme of "the rugged individualist", "the rebel" etc, but those are mostly absent from other cultures. They value other traits.
At least, that's how I see it.

Fuck your stereotype.
Here's a stereotype for you. That's a "man" thing.
It's also very much a woman thing too.
P.S. I've run into plenty of people who are far different than me. Doesn't matter what color they are, I generally go out of my way to be nowhere within their vicinity if I find them to be unpalatable. I don't go on Twitter and bitch about every time some idiot pisses me off. There's plenty of room for me and the rest of the idiots.
And just because men and women in other countries have most of their individuality beaten out of them, doesn't mean they like it.
I don't believe that outside of advanced brainwashing techniques that we aren't privy to, there isn't any way to truly beat out the individuality out of any person. Short of truly dehumanizing somebody through drugs and stimulation over a prolonged period of time, the only way you're going to get people to give up their individuality is if you get them to willingly give it up because whatever you're offering is so good that they just can't live without it after they've had a taste.
I'm not so far removed from a person who wakes every morning to do slave labor for somebody else under an oppressive government. By that I mean I have enough life experience, abuse, trauma and adversity in my life where I can empathize with anyone in that situation. These people are not without their individuality, even if most of their lives they've been stripped of their dignity.
Quite frankly, you sound like Second right now, Sigs.
You don't know me. And I'm certainly nowhere near the same fucking ballpark as whatever your California-born Midwestern Stereotype in your head is telling you that I am.

Trump delivers ‘massive victory for China’ as he weakens Western alliance
The South China Morning Post reports:
https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3298855/china-courts
-frazzled-europe-western-alliance-wavers
The world shook this weekend as deep cracks appeared in the transatlantic alliance during a glitzy security summit in Munich. One guest was ready to capitalise: China.
Top officials from the United States and Europe spent a chaotic weekend trading barbs over values, Ukraine and democracy, with US Vice-President J.D. Vance clashing with a series of German leaders over his courting of the far-right ahead of next week’s federal election.
“The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia. It’s not China, it’s not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within,” said Vance, who later met Alice Weidel, the leader of the Alternative for Germany, which has been branded “extremist” by German authorities, on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference.
Over lunch on Saturday, meanwhile, Trump’s special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg stoked further despair by saying Europe would not be included in peace talks, even as European boots would be expected on the ground in Ukraine. Vance and others also hinted that America’s security guarantee for Europe was in question.
In the margins, Beijing was making hay.
In a diplomatic blitz, Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his conservative opponent Friedrich Merz, Nato secretary general Mark Rutte, and counterparts from the European Union, Germany, Spain, and France. On each occasion, according to foreign ministry statements, he pitched China as a partner to Europe and a friend of the existing order.
“China is pleased to see Germany play an important role in the multipolar pattern and is willing to deepen all-round cooperation … and provide more certainty for the turbulent world,” Wang told Scholz, according to a readout.
During a meeting with the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas, meanwhile, Wang “emphasised that China supports all efforts conducive to peace and supports Europe’s important role in the peace talks process,” contrasting with Kellogg’s assertions that Europe should not be involved.
Wang made a more blatant pitch to Europe during a keynote speech on Friday, where – right after Vance – he said talk of “China attempting to change the [global] order” has gone quiet in light of Trump’s return.
“Now we don’t see much talk of that because now there is a country that is withdrawing from international treaties and organisations and I think in Europe, you can feel chills almost every day,” the veteran diplomat said.
While Wang’s language was not new, it was in stark contrast with Vance’s. The clear conclusion for many observers was that China sees an opening to improve ties with Europe and, potentially, drive a new wedge in the already fraught transatlantic alliance.
“On China’s side, there’s a great opportunity now that the ideological-driven alliance between the US and EU is subject to change,” said Cheng Li, the founding director of the Centre on Contemporary China and the World at the University of Hong Kong, who described the US’ rhetoric at the summit as “astonishing”.
The early signs are that after a stormy few years in the EU-China relationship, some leaders in a Trump-battered Europe might be receptive to Beijing’s advances.
“This is a massive victory for China. It is just amazing what Trump has delivered to them, in less than a month,” said one European diplomat, who was not authorised to speak publicly.
