    Let me check the voting results in Florida.

    • Trump got about 56% of the popular vote.
    • 20 of 28 districts came up Trump.
    • About a third of eligible voters (and close to 40% of registered voters) didn’t bother to vote.

    Yeah. Fuck all y’all motherfuckers. Suffer. Ideally in silence. Your whining is more annoying than a two year old’s.

    • Yeah fuck the almost half of registered voters who are actively working against them, and consistently vote against them, at great risk to ourselves while you sit on your fat, lazy ass doing fuck all. Must be pretty nice to be away from the struggle and pretend it makes you better than people actually organizing and building community power.

        Fuck off, Yank. Your entire cuntry (sic) can burn down for all I give a shit. I’ve got my own country to worry about; one that your nation is attacking. You want me to cry for you? Fuck you.

        • Yes, I agree, fuck my country and boycott the shit out of us. But, it’s going to burn a lot hotter and cause a lot more suffering for the countries we’re attacking when the people opposing Trump are getting disappeared by ICE while the pro-Trump areas are not really targeted, but don’t let common sense get in the way of your crying I guess.

            You still don’t fucking get it.

            Your demanding that people outside of the USA help you is just more fucking American fucking exceptionalist fucking entitlement.

            YOU fucked up YOUR cuntry (sic). The rest of us are trying to keep our own countries going in the face of YOUR cuntry’s (sic) aggression. We don’t owe you motherfuckers anything at all.

            By your idiot logic, the USA should have been pouring money into the USSR to help those who resisted the USSR’s government. All while the USSR was undermining your nation on the world stage, doing whatever it could to attack you. It’s a fucking idiot take.

            • Nobody’s saying you should help us lol, I’m just saying this isn’t leopards eating faces so much as Trump using these raids as a tool to punish less conservative areas. In that context I don’t see how this is a “good” thing for the areas being hurt by America. Maybe read?

                Oh, you misread me.

                I don’t give a shit about any American area. All y’all shit in your nest; time for you to get used to the stink.

                It’s good that Americans are suffering. Perhaps they’ll finally wake the fuck up and fight the Nazis in their midst.

                Or, of course, they’ll more likely just whine piteously and scream at us for not helping. That’s what all your “good guy” politicians are doing, after all.

                • Cool. I guess when I see dictators in other countries punishing areas that aren’t compliant enough by unleashing their thugs on that area I think “damn, it sucks that the dictator is consolidating their power, this will probably only make things worse for the other countries getting attacked by that dictator,” instead of “lol eat shit, that’s what you get for not supporting the dictator I hate.” But then again I’m not a 14 year old rageposting on internet fora so I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree.

        Half of the registered voters who work actively against them?

        Your math ain’t mathing here, buddy. Of the 16 million Floridians registered and eligible for voting (18mil eligible minus ~216k felons), 11 million turned out.

        Of that, ~6.1 million voted for Trump, and ~4.7 million votes for Kamala.

        6.1 million of that ~11 million is 56%.

        Now, let’s presume every Trump supporter went and voted. That means there were a total of 12 million voters against him… of which 2 million didn’t even bother to register to vote, and of the 10 million who did register, 53% didn’t bother to go and vote.

        If you can’t be arsed to go and fucking vote then don’t be all high and mighty when it gets called out, and most definitely don’t claim to be actively working against Trump. The very first step to that would be to GO AND FUCKING VOTE.

        Yeah this isn’t leopardsatemyface. It’s not a Trump supporter getting fucked over to our amusement. Like you said, there are people who consistently vote against him that get dragged into the mess and we shouldn’t be so unsympathetic about that.

    More virtuosic incompetence from MAGA.

    Republicans have always fucked up the Hispanic vote in this country. They think all Hispanics are the same, and since they’ve always owned the Cubans, since the Cubans have always hated the Dems because JFK abandoned them at the Bay of Pigs (my Dad was part of the chopper team, waiting on the tarmac to fly into battle, when the call came in that it was called off), so they thought ALL Hispanics supported them. It never occurred to them that Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Brazilians, Colombians, etc. are not just different from Americans, they are different from each other. They don’t consider themselves the same, any more than white people assume they are the same as Canadians or Europeans. We may have the same color skin, and even language, but that doesn’t mean we have the same beliefs.

    Despite that, MAGA finally got them ALL on their side for a minute, then proceeded to abuse them like it was the 19th century. They had the chance to lock down the fast growing political block in America, but they just couldn’t resist indulging their petty bigotry, and have likely lost them forever. Even their Cuban support will permanently weaken after this.

    An amazing opportunity for the Right, and they could not have squandered it worse.
