She won the popular vote you utter loving hack.

Every conservative response to this on Twitter or in comments sections: Oh, do the Democrats want a participation trophy? The popular vote doesn't count because we live in a REPUBLIC not a DEMOCRACY. The Electoral College elects the president, dumbass. And good riddance too. Do we want the freaks on the coasts and in the cities controlling our presidential elections? No, snowflake. Get over your loss, loser, and maybe take a class in elementary civics.

(But I know of the existence of the Electoral College. My point is that basing a voting system on that is unfair and not representative of the "people".)

I apologize if I DASGC'ed a conversation, but I think this is pretty accurate.

The best is when they trot the republic/democracy line out to justify being offended that you called him the undemocratically elected president.

He didn't? That's the label of the cartoon. ("Czars" is just another way of spelling "Tsars" in English.)

Even Kirschen's more racist screeds never really feel to me like they have much actual anger behind them, just fear (paranoia if you will). It's not like smoking weed makes you less racist.

Remember, "the right" doesn't correspond to the same exact set of stances on the same exact set of issues in every country :eng101:

Yeah that was my first thought also. The cowboy hats and Trump's dumb(er than normal) look makes me think it is. Kinda refreshing to see some subtlety in the world of politoons.

usenet celeb 1992: Jun 1, 2000; he thought quoting borges would make him popular

It's just that the cartoonist prudently decided to go without the gun, which would have made the analogy much more explicit (but would likely have resulted in a Secret Service visit).

This is clearly already the bad timeline but it could get even worse. Either schoolchildren in the future will learn of this one time they elected a buffoon president, or they will learn about Godking Donald 'Yugehands' Trumpovich, the Final Prophet*

Elevator pitch for a movie:

Trump have a heart attack and dies in a "cuba missiles" type crysis. But they decide to hide this from the public, so they hire some hobo from New York to be USA president and replace Trump.

But this hobo (ex-actor) breaks role and instead of reading what is on the telepronter make some real social commentary of real america, in favor of universal healthcare, good education for everyone and not discrimination. This make the people in power nervous so they decide to kill him JFK style and blame the Occupy Wall Street movement. But before they can do that he escape the secret service and return to his hobo life. But now theres somebody giving hot soup to hobos thank to his speech as president of the united states.

Title: Drop Mic.
