Compared to 4 years ago, his popular vote hasn’t changed much, but over 10m blue voters didn’t come back. That made all the difference. Joe Biden I did that sticker
There is going to be an assload of fingerpointing.
Here is my take: even if Kamala won, there is a deep rot that we would be in denial about. Trump should have broken the Republican party but did not and instead galvanized support through misinformation, lies, and hatred. That would not have been cured if Kamala won. At least now we have to be honest with the state of the US.
Still, we can hope he dies of a heart attack.
They won the popular vote. We lost as hard as we could and we can see plainly that mid terms are hopeless too.
The people who will be in power around him might well get rid of him themselves for all the use they want. He’s getting them to power. Vance and Musk and Thiel and whoever the fuck else don’t care about Trump. They want power.
We deserve what’s coming to us.
Americans… maybe… at least those stupid enough to vote for this guy again.
I feel bad for the Americans who knew what Trump stood for and voted Harris to at least prevent that.The rest of the world doesn’t deserve this though… And Trump will still affect them and their lives in many ways.
oh yea, it’ll be all “we need to come together” and “we’re going to help everybody” for the next 2 months
then, the instant he steps into office, freedom of speech: gone. freedom of the press: gone. EPA: gone. dept. of education: gone. SEC: gone. consumer protections, civil rights, equality, accountability, justice-- all. fucking. gone.
expect mass imprisonments, assassinations, and other removals
“that can’t happen in this country!!” you might be saying. why not? because of “checks and balances”? LOL
you have about 2 months to prepare your asshole
People were like ‘the president wouldn’t assassinate his own people or work with enemy foreign nations to do so!’ but then they turned a blind eye to Trump’s security ‘lapses’ and the distinctly sharp rise in the deaths of our undercover operatives around the globe.
He will sell out America, spill its blood for his own gain, and he already has.
and we’re leaving out implications at the local level. why would a trumper sheriff bother going after someone for murdering marginalized peoples? why would any lawyer take up any case against a trump appointed judge (spoiler alert: it’ll be all of them, soon)?
Abbott already pardoned some shitbag for murder because he was a conservative who murdered a liberal.
Also, remember that this follows HOT on the heels of SCOTUS saying “basically anything a President does is legal”. This theoretically means Trump and his admin could sidestep Congress entirely, on anything. Trump was already ruling by EO last term, but I suspect we haven’t seen anything yet.
There’s actually so much at stake that I lost track of it all. Absolutely mind blowing that a single American could vote for him let alone the majority. I do not understand why Americans hate America.
just read up on 1930s germany
There can’t be checks and balances when both are in the same hand.
There are plenty of checks and balances. People write the checks, other people apply them to their balances.
😘👌
Is this what he did in previous term ?
Mass imprisonment and assassinations?
Yes.
So glad the community is getting indundated with a bunch of people who never post here celebrating the win of the fascist that is going to put people in concentration camps.
Yeah I’m making sure to tag all of them for future tracking. Learned that lesson with the NAZIs, if this is ever over not going to let them quietly slink away. When this inevitably starts going south and these same assholes are bitching and whining about how the economy is a trash fire and their rights are being shit all over I’ll be there to remind them they wanted this.
bUt My 401K wIlL dO sO mUcH bEtTeR!
I post here all the time but I’m not celebrating. I’m pissed.
Yes, we’ve all seen your total heel-turn.
I also wasn’t talking about you.
I’m pissed that Biden didn’t drop out way sooner. I’m pissed the Dems didn’t let the people actually pick the nominee. I’m pissed Harris shifted to the right and paraded around with a Cheney.
Well, on the bright side Kamala will get her wish of a Republican in the presidential cabinet. /s
I mean, at a certain point we all already know that trump is vindictive, he’s racist, he’s a rapist. I will blame his supporters, and u will blame third party voters. They know who he is and still let him in. Our institutions are still weak from the last time. I hope democracy survives
There is no one to blame for a Trump win except for Trump voters.
Third party voters statistically cannot be blamed for a Harris loss. The margins were too large for a third party spoiler vote.
Way better than the previous 4, which is what we’re going to get in overdrive now
I’m pissed that morons voted for him and other morons didn’t vote against him.
The Dems should have done better. But it’s the people who voted for this.
Yes, let’s blame the voters for losing the election…
Not the Democratic party or their candidate, because clearly only voters can fail them, they can’t fail us.
Heel turn? He’s been anti-trump since day one. Criticizing your candidate is good. Trump supporters don’t accept do any criticism.
R2O spent months posting “don’t vote for Biden” articles and then a short time posting “don’t vote for Harris” articles until changing their mind.
Please do not try to rewrite recent history.

He’s following hitlers rise pretty closely so far. Now we just need a false flag to give emergency powers and it’s all good.
German here. The Supreme Court has already given Trump all the power Hitler got by declaring a state of emergency. The Weimar Republic actually had better checks and balances then the US has now.
Bummer
How do you deport millions of people quickly without putting them in concentration camps?
We got censored all the time, so yes. We couldn’t post anything here.
I can’t imagine why you get “censored” for celebrating about a genocidal rapist who has literally promised to be a dictator.
I really can’t imagine why.
What views of yours get censored? Come on, share them.
Do you sincerely believe that corporate America is left leaning?
Too many misogynists in this country.
And racists, and just antipathic people in general, and those traits overlap.
In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.
I hope this fucker has a massive stroke, or his dementia goes on overdrive and he undresses at his inauguration. Fuck this asshole
Then we get President Couch F*cker. Ugh.
At least then there might be infighting over who gets to be the next cult leader.
Oh ffs.
Democracy suffers another blow by its own hand
This was the kill shot for democracy or what we called democracy.

Thank you for your very constructive and informed opinion on this serious matter. Hope your words echo through all American soil.
Per Rule 1, do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
Am I wrong? Look at what just happened and look at who made it happen. You are kidding yourself in thinking we are anything but a blight
That’s it. I’m making an ostrich account to put my head in the sand and only subscribe to happy place communities.
The American people’s fight has just started. This is far from the only important election.
But chances are they’re fucked.
Good luck. I’ve been trying that for years and somehow the darkness always creeps in, usually in the form of American politics :(
Ostriches don’t actually do that, FYI.
What a privilege to have.
So what position in the white house will Musk get now?
Bandit Baron I guess
Secretary of State if he gets an actual office. You could do a lot worse than Rex Tillerson.
Rex Tillerson was a legitimate good conservative pick for the position and made me think maybe Trump would surround himself with competent people. Well, on Rogan’s podcast he said his biggest regret was not picking loyal people. We won’t have to worry about accidental competency this go round.
Hurrraay, open shampane 🍾🎉🇺🇸😁
JFC at shampane. What a sham/pain
The education system really is underfunded. And trump is gonna make that worse. Giving a feedback loop of idiots ruining everything while remaining ignorant of it all
Nice spelling. Don’t be surprised when it starts to taste like piss.
I think he’s heard about this champagne thing but is going to drink a bottle of shampoo.
Yep… That checks out.
We really did have everything, didn’t we

Are you advocating for political violence? If so, Mr. Fed, why don’t you keep this discussion where people can’t take screenshots to make people on your side look unhinged?
