These might be the good old days. Go outside, feel the grass, say wassup to your neighbors,… whatever you do that means community, because sh*t might get bad for a while.

So as far as I understand it as of now it’s pretty much decided early with almost no chance of Harris making it.

So there you are. You’re right. I was right. We all were.

We hoped for sanity.

But it seems a massive criminal openly stating he will run a dictatorship has been voluntarily elected.

It’s like allowing someone in your house telling you that he’s going to rob you, but he promises to do it LEGALLY. It’s hilarious and maddening at the same time.

I honestly find this hilarious for a couple reasons—

  1. His retarded voters are going to wake up 6 months from now with more Indian, Mexican, and Middle Eastern neighbors than ever before.

  2. Inflation is going to increase like it did before under him.

  3. The measures his government will pass will heavily favor corporations, both foreign and domestic.

  4. If incels think that women hated them before, just wait, his incel base of voters are going to be enemy number one with women from all walks of life.

  5. Women dying from lack of abortion care is going to get worse (I don’t find this funny). The wives and daughters of republicans are going to among those that pass away from the lack of abortion care.

  6. Trump doesn’t care about White people and their weird obsession with being replaced. He even stated that he’s going to increase immigration to levels never before seen due to AI, for some reason.

This upcoming Trump presidency is going to be a dumpster fire for his voting base because he will accomplish none of the things that they think Trump will do. He won’t get them a wife, he won’t end no fault divorce, he won’t make anime real, he won’t start mass deportations—he’s just trying to stay out of jail.

For the rest of us, just laugh. We’ve been through 4 years of this idiot before.

The only thing I find irksome is the gloating of his retarded voting base. They would really vote against their own interest just to laugh at CNN/MSNBC pundits panicking online. It’s like setting fire to your house because it makes your neighbor seethe.

All of this already happened + a mismanaged pandemic and his voters still supported him.

From day 1 there’s going to be somebody recreating his persona to be ready for 2028 to repeat this.

The US being a dumpster fire is nothing new. But this is a new low

You think Family Values Republicans care if their Wives and Daughters Die?

Some people only have information from one side of the story. If Trump wins, he will likely try to mimic what both Putin and Orbán did with the media.

While you’re mostly right, it isn’t really half because we have this fun thing called the electoral college, that likes to make Republicans win.

It’s not even close to half. Republicans are a quarter to a third of the country.

It’s voter suppression and Democrats being the biggest possible fuckups they could be at every fucking opportunity.

Well and so far the popular vote is more red then blue. I think the USA will get the government the voters deserve.

Here’s hoping the rest of the world can not get pulled down.

I’m someone smack in the middle of a liberal city in an always blue state, I don’t know what else there is for me to do. I’ve attempted helping educate and getting people to vote in other states who normally choose not to, I’ve voted in every election down to local boards and try to know who I’m voting for. Locally, we had a lot of successes so far this election in our state…but that won’t help much if, y’know, fascism.

You could watch the reactionism ramp up as they slipped into the minority during Clinton; and white men struggling to deal with the loss of their relevance has basically been the story of American politics since.
