Narrator voice: they think it’s only applicable for those they don’t like.
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.
When people tell you what they are, believe them.
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
Lots. I don’t feel so good Mr stark.
- A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it’s all talks,
- when he talks about making the economy better, it’s all in good faith,
- all the “necessary evil” can be undone in the next election cycle,
- and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.
Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
Trump is going to increase MUH LEGAL immigration by a lot. Wages are going to go down as result and unions will be gutted. Will police still support Trump when they end up making 18 USD/HR? That’s what he means by hardships.
Corporations are going to see a huge increase in profits because they’re going to cut labor cost by importing cheap labor.
I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.
It’s honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that’s been oppressing them their whole lives. It’s amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you for centuries? It’d be less depressing and more funny if it wasn’t for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.
Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you
college, housing benefits… healthcare.
funny, the exact same things conservatives have made impossible to obtain…
Police are going to support trump because hes all “back the blue”, because soon they will all be his henchmen.
Likely the police will make even more, and will be hired to bust unions.
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.
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.
I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:
Fuck.
At this point I think maybe he will have america burn down so something decent can be built this time. I only feel bad for the rest of the world they are trying to take with them
Maybe Canada can invade again?
Not with the conservatives in power
Fuck Trump and fuck you Shill Stein donkeys too
You mean those pro-Stein accounts that won’t post another peep now?
And this fucker is about to win… I can’t believe this… And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won’t even vote for their own best interests
57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.
And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don’t understand how it’s so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it’s because of the major cities.
Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we’re just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.
During the last few years and specifically during 2020 covid the majority of people moving out of my blue state went to Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, or Texas. Everyone that I knew of that leaned that way basically moved to a swing state.
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)
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.
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.
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.
It’s been in hospice since 2000.
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.
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 a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public that hopefully will get what they deserve.
The inflation will be yuge!
I’m a Struggling Middle Class Hispanic Woman and I’m GLAD that I voted for the Man who promised to Deport me, force my Daughter to Carry her Rapist’s baby, create HUGE Financial Turmoil and Enslave me!
Yeah let’s blame it on the minorities and women instead of the misogynist, racist, absolute piece of shit white men who voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
I’m a Misogynist Racist Piece of Shit White Man and I voted for the man who PROMISES to Hurt everyone I don’t like (Including my Wife and Daughters) so why bring Me into this?
Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?
Biden could do an official act. A couple of official acts, even.
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.
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.
They had Walz, but kept him in a corner until recently. Just moronic strategy.
