Nobody is going to change who they are and how they want to live because of Putin’s fat orange bitch.
Project 2025 is going to be nasty.
Well, you know what they say…a politician never keeps his promises.
The one time Trump actually IS telling the truth is an odd time to bring out that particular saying…
This is the first time a politician is honest about something.
But it’s for the absolutely wrong reasons.
This is just blatantly saying “HEY! I’M GOING TO BE ABSOLUTE SHIT TO YOU ALL! AND IT’S GOING TO BE ROUGH! AND IT’S GOING TO BE NASTY! BLOODY!”
Like okay okay, we have had months leading up to this to know. We don’t need you to remind us yet again about how you’ll do things.
Its almost as though he just doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
Can you imagine not seeing that? Like literally the first time you see/hear him speak?
I just don’t… I can’t…
The Dems are going to lose not once but twice to this guy that anyone even a little progressive could have handedly beat.
Bullshit. Anyone even slightly more progressive would have been curb stomped.
Keep telling yourself that. Maybe the Dems should get their own version of Donald Trump haha.
Dude face it, the DNC is completely flaccid and ineffectual as long as it tries to appeal to institutionalist values during a populist cultural zeitgeist.
And the Democratic party isn’t going to benefit from trying to beat Xenophobic Nationalism™: the Party at its own game of xenophobic nationalism by ceasing to counter their rhetoric on immigration like they did once Biden took office.
They had Walz, but kept him in a corner until recently. Just moronic strategy.
You do realise that they currently lose for being viewed as 'too progressive ’ right?
No wrong, Trump actually didn’t perform any better than last time. It’s Harris that couldn’t even match the performance of Biden haha.
Not many, for people of color
And women, and poor people, and journalists
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
Narrator voice: they think it’s only applicable for those they don’t like.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
Just over half of those who voted said yes, there’s still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it’s going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We’ll suffer, but then again we’re already going to be.
Don’t forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.
They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.
And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a “temporary” financial crisis. The thing is, “temporary” can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don’t last for a week or two.
he means that Trump and his billionaire friends (including Elon) will make lots of money while common folks suffer but that is all worth it because they will make M’uricah great again
Again.
Hopefully, he strokes out before the EC casts their votes in December. If that happens, we can end up with a Harris/Vance administration.
My understanding is that Vance would become president-elect and a new vice president-elect would be appointed.
Yeah, I was a little off on the timeline… If he strokes out after the EC casts their votes, but before they are counted in the House, then Vance will be properly elected to the vice presidency, but the House is required to immediately vote on the Presidency. They only get to select from the top three EC vote winners. With Harris being the only candidate to win any EC votes for president, the House is constitutionally required to elect her. Harris/Vance.
If I were a Republican, I’d table-flip that outcome, but theoretically…
I wonder how long it will be until the Trump vs Musk power struggle. My guess is early summer.
I’ll pass.
It’ll be extremely bitter sweet, one day seeing a AmeriNazi and asking em WTF they were thinking electing a guy that literally says the economy will be worse, to boost the economy.
Have crash it to get the growth duh!
/s but I legit thinks that’s what is going to happen.
The inflation will be yuge!
Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)
As an American trans woman, at this point I think I could handle my arachnophobia enough to flee to Australia
Nah let’s build a wall.
Visited Sydney and Trinity Beach in June with my family, and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. I wish we could have seen more, let alone move there! So clean, people cared about the environment, lovely people everywhere.
❤️ Australia!
Wait lol can we really move down there? I’d love that, or NZ.

Fuck off. The majority of black Americans live in the south, and more than half of the northern states voted for trump too.
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It’s crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It’ll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.
How alive is it when the ‘democratic’ candidate was anointed instead of voted for through a democratic process? I’m not a Trump fan at all but at least he was chosen by the people.
Deligates DID elect her, and they did so because the party members they represent wanted her to take over, there was 5+ internal polls sent to registered democrats, this didn’t SUDDENLY happen, it was weeks of polling and campaigning. A party doesn’t need to have a public primary to select a candidate.
It’s been in hospice since 2000.
Pff policy aside, the guy is a man-child and somehow that appeals to people
Because they are adult children too
It’s the fear and blame, they now know white people can go back to having all the privilege, and brown people can be rounded up and infinity detained or exiled, imprisoned, enslaved, over policed, under served. Because they know any black having a job, means they got the job by being black and they stole it from a actually qualified white.
What about this statement means the people thinking this way aren’t adult children? It seems you are just pointing out cognitively/emotionally immature ways of thinking here.
That alone can’t be it, I’m a man-child and I’d never vote for him if I had a say in this election.
It’s the fact that he promises easy solutions to everything. What are the solutions? Well that doesn’t matter, he promised he’ll deal with all the problems, that’s enough.
It means they aren’t serious people. The Trump administration wrecked up the country with their shitty dangerous response to covid and their conservative base spent the entire time complaining and attacking healthcare workers.
Serious people propose ways to address problems and work based off of facts. Conservatives are off on witch hunts and high on identity politics.
This election was a referendum on the neo-liberal order and it lost. Trump represents populist nationalism, if the transactional nature of his first term is any indicator he’s gonna sell off as much as he can to the highest bidders.
TLDR: A bunch of angry working class folks just handed the country to the billionaire oligarchs, possibly under some delusion the wealthy won’t keep robbing them blind.
What was Harris’ big policy goal? What is she the champion of? Tax rebates? Policy does move people but Harris offered no vision.
What a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public that hopefully will get what they deserve.
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?
