    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.

      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.

      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.

    In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.

      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.

      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?
