More than anything I’m depressed by the precedent that this sets for the world on attitude and actions. He literally attacked and abused his way to the top. And a majority of Americans support it. Holy fuck.
This has gotta be fraud, there’s just no way America would choose a convicted felon over a woman… right?
- There’s no way any number of women would choose someone promising to curtail their medical rights.
- There’s no way any non-white would choose someone so racist
- There’s no way any immigrant would choose someone scapegoating their culture and promising to deport them even if they are citizens
- There’s no way anyone who has listened to his speeches would choose a gibberish idiot
- There’s no way anyone who witnessed the mess last time around would want to repeat it
- There’s no way anyone who older person would choose a known real estate grifter
- There’s no way a parent would choose anyone threatening their child’s future
I’m sure we could go on, but I just read an article that Trump did better than expected with every demographic except college educated women. How ?
Yep, we did it. We are Homer Simpson. D’Oh
Looking at the bright side:
-no more vaccines (never liked needles anyway) -no more fluoride in the water (who likes nice teeth anyway, plus you can get fakes installed) -never need to vote for president again (think about how much time that’ll save) -no jan 6th revolt in 2025 (maybe they will just for fun though, who knows) -perhaps Trump can fill the remaining seats of the supreme court and get a properly conservative suite of justices -Elon Musk will be our super-cool tech daddy
- No more environment (hate the outside anyway)
- No more Ukraine (the weather in Kyiv sucks and I have a gluten allergy who needs grain anyway)
- More refugees into Europe (yeah Europe is totally prepared for that and won’t cause more fascists to win European elections)
- No more environment
That won’t be a problem. America will simply be towed outside the environment.
Yeah fascists in Europe turned out great the last time
When Trump was first elected, it made me realize how stupid most of the US is. The results of this election were not surprising, I even linked to the sort of self-serving articles that preceded just before Hillary-Trump’s elections to people who were doing the same in this election. At least in this election, it’s sort of like Israel, they are leaving no doubt about who they support. I don’t even care if Kamala gets the popular vote, most criticize the electoral college word only and refuse to consider gerrymandering as electoral fraud, leading to it occurring in greater and newer ways this election.
Gerrymandering is clearly electoral fraud, but
- it’s not black and white. There’s no clear line between fraud and good
- the people benefiting the fraud are the ones in control of it
- gerrymandering does not affect presidential or senate elections
Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?
Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?
Money. Same answer in the US.
The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like “Silicon Valley” and institutions like the electoral college.
Interesting that was written in 2014… Before it was obvious it had all just gone to shit
I fear you may have hit the nail on the head

Trump is not going to create a better economy. We’re gonna go into a recession and he’s going to blame it on democrats and COVID restrictions.
He’s going to increase immigration, lower wages due to cheap labor, and cause wages to go down. He said this and the retards that live in rural America think he’s going to benefit them. He’s going to reduce the power of Unions.
It’s clown world.
It it bad that I think that’s a best case scenario? Things aren’t looking good.
We’re going back to child labor in factories and brood mares barefoot and pregnant. Trans and brown folks are going to have a real bad time. I’m a white dude and even I’m afraid of what’s going to happen
Yet what they’ll remember is the stock market skyrocketed
Clown country
I am fucking gutted, I am so sad and angry and I don’t know what to do. I am overall a happy and positive person and believe in humanity but this win feels like it’s stripping me of a piece of that and I hate that! I hate that I feel so much hate right now, it’s exactly what I preach against, yet here I am. I can’t believe this is happening
That’s how I felt here in the UK when I woke up to see the majority voted for Brexit. Before that I thought people can’t be that dumb. Apparently they can.
I feel as you. I wanted to believe we’re better than this.
I think that one guy with the folder “Memes if Donald Trump wins” is gonna have to bust them out.
Fuck. I hope Canada has some open slots for immigrants.
From what I can gather, Canada seems to be following the same trend as the US just shifted back a few years
I’ll marry one of ya’s
Until a trumper does something fucked up and the border gets closed off.
Ok just hurry up and get your citizenship so you can help us vote against the guy who’s trying to be like Trump, thnx.
Seconded
Their country has a severe housing crisis.
Canada will soon be electing a conservative government.
Sucks here but welcome

Kinda douchey to be a dick towards those who fought against it, don’t you think?

What do you mean “you pricks”? I am not American. I am German. And I think you are having a panic attack.
Not arguing against the things you wrote possibly happening. Hell, I think it will be even worse than that.
But these people also didn’t want any of this. Let’s not be awful against those who need a blanket and a hug, please?
Congrats, you now have much worse than a dem administration when it comes to that shithole israel
Nothing will fundamentally change in the Israel policy, it’s just that now people will start caring because it’s orange man doing it instead of genocide Joe
those who fought against it
Did they do more than just vote?
Fellow Canadian here and I don’t like being overly harsh with my criticisms … but I’m with you on this.
I’m a native too, a trump administration would happily see us and our people systematically “removed”
I n voted for Harris but agree with you. We need to stay and clean up our mess. Because were are we going run to. America doesn’t just affect America but whole world. We need to fight not run.
The people fleeing it are exactly the people you’d want to see.
Actually, given the senseless over-generalization, you might prefer seeing your spiritual brothers, the republicans.
There’s no such thing as an undecided voter.
They’ve either decided, or decided to do something bad and don’t want you to judge them.
As if the world hasn’t collectively had its head up it’s ass recently…
They’ve done it before and they’ll fucking do it again.
All these young new potential voters! A fresh wave of idiot!We deserve a nuke.
And Ukraine is gonna get that nuke.
Jesus Christ. Locking down this massive shit show.
