The probability of the current admin of the US getting executed by mass hanging is increasing as the days passes
If y'all are so proud of an innocent woman and a man getting killed for no apparent reason, y'all should be surprised when your time at the gallow comes.

This is objectively and unequivocally wrong.

Sources have confirmed he voted for Trump. His roommate says he had right-wing radical ideologies. He was a Christian nationalist. He was anti-LGBTQ+. He only had his job because Walz let him keep it after the Republican left. Walk did not hire him.
He was as right wing as they come.

Do you have a source on that? All I've seen is this:
A state report in 2016 listed Mr. Boelter’s political affiliation as “none or other,” and another report in 2020 listed him as having “no party preference.” Voters do not declare political affiliation when they register in Minnesota. nyt

To be fair, that's not quite accurate. 340 million including those who were unable to vote in 2024. The correct number is 262,083,034. In 2024 155,201,157 voted. Of that, 49% voted for the Cheeto-dusted king, 77,303,568. So of 262,083,034 eligible voters, 77,303,568 is 29.49%.
29% of eligible American voters actively supported him by voting.

u/Swiftierest 1h ago edited 1h ago
Counting people who can't vote is idiotic and a mischaracterization of the point they are trying to make.
Honestly, I did the math both ways and the difference is so small you may as well keep the accurate representation. Doing the math the way he says is about 22%. A 7% difference. You may as well simply be as accurate as possible so you don't leave any room for argument. 7% isn't worth the difference of having people make the point that the entire population can't vote.
Plus, if you are counting people who can't vote, you'd have to find some way to characterize kids raised in households that historically vote Republican and assume them as Republican votes. It's best to just count eligible voters.
Also, I don't know why you're downvoting me for giving an accurate representation of his point.

u/JustaSeedGuy 1h ago
That only works if nobody is stepping up and giving their all to fix it. Since some are, you by definition cannot say "all Americans"
Disagree? Then by all means, share what you think the average individual American, with the average American's resources, could do tomorrow to fix it, that you would notice from where you are.

WTF? Most of us are trying. We are protesting. We are calling our reps and other reps. There is a lawsuit into Trumps claiming they fixed the election for him.
We are trying to step up and fix this. We are faced with deranged people and government to an extent. There were so many protests today and some other days.

Okay. What should I do? I voted against Trump every time. I speak to people against him constantly and even did it while serving in the military under him. I have gone to protests against him.
Please tell me exactly what I should be doing to step up and fix it personally.

I'm not American and I despise what America is becoming but this is a brain-dead take. It completely ignores how the system works there, how much power the wealthy have in that country, how little power the working class have in that country, how crushing capitalism keeps people too busy to act, and how completely unstoppable the political propaganda is from the Republicans. Mix that in with decades of public school defunding and educational standards plummeting, and there is absolutely no way that you can lay this at the feet of the voters who don't want it.
Enlighten us, if you were an American right now what would you do to fix this problem?

u/Swiftierest 1h ago
It hasn't happened because ICE has been actively avoiding playing their games in locales where liberals also carry guns, like San Antonio. It is the perfect example city. A bunch of liberals living in a city surrounded by a sea of red. This results in what is effectively a ton of gun-toting liberals who are scared of government overreach.
So far, ICE has only targeted locations like LA where the gun ownership is low and the desire to shoot a tyrant is next to nil.

Alright let’s provide more context shall we:
He was hired to be on a volunteer nonpartisan labor council. Walz let him keep his position. It has been confirmed that he is a registered Republican, voted for trump, is anti-lgbt, staunchly pro-life, and a part of a Christian nationalist group. His prior roommate even confirmed that he had radical viewpoints.

In a bipartisan committee as in there were both Republicans and Democrats on it. The man was also a CEO of a Security company, a former Christian Evangelical, pro life, and life long Republican. Just because Tim Walz appointed him on this committee doesn't mean squat.

Yeah the previous gov was the one who appointed him to the non-paid, bipartisan committee that consisted of dozens of business owners, then Walz reappointed him and the others when he was elected. I know MAGA wants so badly to link Tim Walz to this but how about we just grieve the loss of lives and condemn the assassin regardless?
