Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
On the plus side maybe we will start hearing about the horrors at the US Border that magically stopped in november 2020.
Democrats will learn nothing from this.
Well I guess the good news is that it no longer matters if they learn anything? These election results make it clear that going forward they’ll have about as much effect on lawmaking as a dead hamster. It’s even possible that, except for serving as a convenient cardboard bogeyman, they’ll otherwise cease to exist at all.
Id go so far as to say they’re paid good money to explicitly not learn from this.

Democrats are learning in real time what the real function of a controlled opposition party is in a capitalist dictatorship.
You can blame Democrats all you want. This is a cause of Americans being idiots and bigots.
I don’t wanna hear another damn word about Palestine from young leftists, after they stayed home. You all need to shut the fuck up with your moralizing and bitching, when you won’t even vote. Enjoy Trump, morons.
The Biden regime did this, no one else.
You ain’t seen nothing yet. Trump’s most loyal base is Evangelical Christians, and they widely believe in Greater Israel. They also tend to dislike nonwhites. He may not give a rats ass about Israel, but his advisors do, and he personally likes Netanyahu.
All but 1 democrat gave Netanyahu a standing ovation for carrying out this genocide less than 2 months ago. How do you explain your party’s staunch near-unanimous support for genocide?
Actually, 90 dems boycotted that speech. This also deflects from my argument that the situation in Gaza is going to become far more dire in a few months.
To answer your question, though: You know how there’s around 2 million Gazans still alive? Starving and desperate, but still alive. It’s not just us, but the whole international community that is responsible for that, otherwise Netanyahu could’ve implemented his “General’s Plan” six months ago. Nothing except international leverage can maintain those lives. Leverage is not free, though, it must be purchased somehow. People do not just listen to you otherwise, unless they get something from it. While it would be theoretically possible to attempt sanctions, doing this to an ally during war would be political suicide domestically, resulting in a different administration and reversal of the policy. This would result in their eventual deaths anyway, simply after a delay.
Not that our current timeline is looking any differently, admittedly. But actually saving them is not nearly as simple as everyone seems to think, as if some total boycott of arms to Israel would somehow quickly lead to an Israeli military defeat. Advanced munitions are not necessary for a genocide, it can be done with napalm and the withholding of food. This would not be expensive. Nor are advanced munitions necessary for the continued survival of the IDF, which numbered around 400k strong in the initial stages of the war.
Defeating this genocide is unfortunately far, far harder than people make it out to be, due to a powerful faction of domestic support among American citizens and AIPAC lobbyists.
It’s not just us, but the whole international community that is responsible for that
No. There is one country giving 17 Billion dollars in weaponry and aid to Israel. Don’t blame the “international community” for the genocide being funded and armed by your party. Your own party is opposing the current resolutions in the UN to denounce this genocide.
Israel would quickly go the way of south africa without US support. Will anything make US democrats stop pointing fingers at other people, and start accepting blame for their own actions?
And evangelicals have hard-ons for the end times and the second coming of Jesus. They believe the terrorist state of Isreal will somehow accomplish this through their ongoing genocide of Palestinians.
Evangelicals are literally cheering on the end of the world. They are a death cult.
You became a nazi to win and you lost. Now you’re a loser and you’re a nazi.
I think you need to removed yourself from the conversation.

Less racist and colonial than your nazi ass considering you wanted me to support a settler colonial genocide and I wouldn’t.
And fuck off. You’re as American as your 90’s US TV show reference. Don’t wear burgerface and then try to distance yourself.
It’s funny your white ass calling a native person a Nazi colonizer because I said Harris is better than Trump. I guess that means you think Trump is better, so enjoy it. Clearly you’re his base racist and offensive and hateful to us brown folk
You wanted me to support a settler colonial genocide because your first hand experience is that it rules and should be exported?
Do you really think Trump is not going to back Netenyahu and let him do exactly as he pleases?
Now that there’s no utility in it, can you please stop fucking lying about your side being better than it is?
For a while you were perfectly comfortable using banger lines like “genocide isn’t on the ballot” so what the fuck do you think my response would be?
I have been consistent this entire time telling you what your side was doing wrong and what the consequences would be. And the entire time you’ve been condescending to me like it was me who was the child who needed to humble myself into the role of the student.
Every time i think the US can’t get any more ridiculously retarded, I’m teached otherwise…
A billionaire, convicted felon, moron and over all most likely a damn pedo gets elected to be the top-clown of the clown-college.
I’m sorry for every sane murican who has to endure that. And especially for everyone that is not “normal”…
I agree with your message, but please try to avoid the r-slur. Its an ableist slur and quite triggering for many people, even if you mean it innocently.
Oh he’s definitely a pedo. Creeping on his own daughter. Peeping on young girls in changing rooms. Epstein’s best friend.
I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn’t even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment “no insurrection” thing.
Democrats vocally came out against getting him off the ballot for his crimes alleging ‘you can only beat him at the ballot box’, but it turns out they can’t.
Kamala must be so stoked to see so many republicans in the cabinet.
Well, crap.
The leopard ate my face are going to hit so hard all those non white and rich trump fan in the next years
Fuck
Isn’t USA culture very big about “never give up”?
Only if you’re white. If not, do as your told or you may be assaulted, imprisoned, or shot dead. Sometimes you’ll do what your told and those things will still happen.
Eh, at this point a majority of the voting block voted for fascism. I’m about ready to just call it, go home and not participate anymore.
I understand your feelings but would urge you tor reconsider. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
Tyranny by majority…
No. Fuck no. Absolutely not.
The best news in the last three years! :)
I just hope that he will follow through with quickly finishing the war in Ukraine.
I’m sure he will, by giving Ukraine to Russia and letting them murder Zelensky.
I just hope that he will follow through with quickly finishing the war in Ukraine.
Yeah, that’s a monkey paw wish. His “ending the war in Ukraine” almost certainly means giving Putin whatever he wants.

Even if you are right (I don’t think so), so what?
How is this worse then what is hapenning now (to Ukrainians)?
Inb4 probably some delusiomal fantasies about how Putin is gonna invade the whole world, etc. :/

Ah yes, the usual undefeatable argument of libs/dems/whatever - if you don’t like us slaughtering people you know, then you are fascist, dumb and most importantly a Russian bot and fuck you. 🙃

I recall they said the same about Hilter. It was called appeasement. Don’t accept bullies demands. Period.
