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.

As a person from Europe, who’s is living next to Ukraine, who’s girlfriend is ukranian, who’s many friends are Ukrainian, who’s many friends died due to that terrorist state: If you were eligible to vote in the US and didn’t, fuck you.

Any vote that didn’t go to Kamala, is a vote for fascism, a vote to accelerate and finish the genocide of palestine, a vote to cease support for Ukraine and a vote to help terrorists in ruzzia. If you support any of that, Fuck. You.

But I know my ukranian brothers, they will not surrender. Even if you selfish American pricks don’t support them. They will fight until they can’t fight anymore, and then they will still fight.

Unlike you, they are brave. They are heroes. They know whats fucking right.

And frankly, for all terrible things coming to the US, if you didnt vote, you deserve them all.

If you are from the LGBTQ+ community, not white or a woman, and you didn’t vote, you have just commited suicide.

I will still support Ukraine, financially. Its not much but I don’t care. And if its not enough and the worst comes, I am ready to die to save my brothers, just like my people did in the past.

I am willing to do my part, if you didn’t vote, you didnt. So one, last fuck you.

A gorilla just broke out and is ripping people’s dicks off, but people somehow blame the people who say that we shouldn’t cage gorillas in the first place.

They didnt blame the left. They blamed people who didnt vote. Be they left, right or middle. If you didnt vote you are the problem. If you didnt vote Harris you are personally reaponsible for the coming fascism in america. You are responsible for project 2025 becoming reality.

Americans created nationalist russia in the first place and kamala was the one who sent weapons for the genocide. Quit pretending this is about anything but their weapons contracts. They dont give a shit about foreigners, left or right.

It’s all a fucking show, can’t you see?

I am really surprised that people believe one person will change whole course of US military complex.

If anything they will put someone who is representing their position, not the other way around.

Things are determined, this is just people choosing PR person.

I’m seeing a lot of “democracy is going to die” posts… But… I hate to break it to you:

America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it’s an incredibly bad one. It’s the least democratic democracy in the Western world.

The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.

Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn’t be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!

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.

This is what I don’t get…everyone keeps saying it is going to be a bad 4 years but most likely this is it we are done. Trunp is going to pardon himself for all the shit he did last time in office and now he doesn’t need to worry about breaking any laws since SCOTUS gave him immunity. This is going to be horrific. We are witnessing the death of America.

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.

I don’t live in the US, so my views are probably biased by our anti-Trump media hype, so even though I agree with most of your points, I’d leave two open for discussion:

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.

I was under the impression that Republicans are not looking for love from women, but their total subjugation. Women don’t need to love them (perhaps they can, only in Stockholm syndrome mode), but they have to obey. I don’t think incels will be disappointed.

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

I said this twice before, and I was always wrong, so take this with a huge boulder of sand. But I don’t think he’ll last four years (unless they do a Weekend at Bernies), so part of the 4 years will be with that weird cross-dresser, and I have absolutely no idea what to expect from him.

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

Adding to this, the wealth disparity is going to continue to increase with those who have equities dramatically increasing their personal capitol, while the middle class is going to fall further behind.

I’m convinced a major part of inflation that goes completely ignored is the staggering amount of wealth generated by equities. People have literally seen 1 million become 2 or 3 over the last few years. They have been spending money with complete disregard… Watching what people buy at Costco is insane!

The goal is to make the middle class disappear and blame someone else for it. The US wants a wealthy upper class and a permanent lower working class. This is why Republicans never act on immigration, legal or otherwise, because it’s the best way to lower wages, it’s a huge point to campaign on, and many republicans benefit from immigrant H1-Bs and “none skilled” labor.
