Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won’t be the ones suffering, it’ll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.
They don’t understand that rooting for them, doesn’t make them part of the team.
They don’t understand that Donald Trump loathes them
If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.
As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that’s not enough.
It’s important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.
I thought critical thinking was communism?
Which makes a solid case for communism.
Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can’t function.
Feds never should have let that happen.
Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.
Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in “religious centers,” and we’ve gotta start calling things what they are.
Just frame it as “Muslim” and the right will get it done for you. They do love voting against their own interests.
“The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.”
don’t be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people’s faces.

They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.
It is far more than okay with them when the right people are suffering hardships. They would elect the most overtly corrupt person to ever exist and destroy the country just to make sure the right people get hurt.
They just did elect that person
Says the war dodging, low IQ (the true low IQ individual), balding denier, sexual assaulting, multi-time felon.
Trump is like 1985’s alternate timeline Biff Tannen only worse because he’s real.
We ARE aware that alternate timeline Biff WAS Trump right?
Marty needs to fix this!
Plenty of them already died, by eating horsepaste during a respiratory virus pandemic. The survivors didn’t care.
Speaking of which, WTF happened to that effect on the vote?
Alabama went from +28 Trump to +25 or something.
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.
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.
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.
I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:
Fuck.
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
- 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.
Honestly I’m not sure American businesses are very smart.
I imagine corpos do want trump, but it seems as short sighted as going after quarterly profits ahead of all else.
Ok, so you own a corporation and want those pesky “water break” regulations that are really cutting into your profits to go away. So you back trump. He tweets out “WORKERS DRINKING WATER ON THE CLOCK, SAD AND BIGLY BAD” and they decide that’s an official act and you can squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of your workers.
Meanwhile, he puts a 20% tariff on all your inputs.
I don’t support, but could at least understand, companies wanting this guy out of some rank greed. But he’s articulated positions that would be awful for most businesses. Every serious economist has looked at his tariff plan and gone “oh yea, that would destroy the economy”
Corporations are chasing after short-term profits, not long-term ones. The only job I used to have was literally bankrupted by my then boss to avoid paying taxes on his other business ventures.
Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.
Lots. I don’t feel so good Mr stark.
They’ve been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.
Thanks for the new expletive.
what the nazi fuck, bro?
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
This monster has to go. Not only should he lose but he should never be allowed in this country again.
he should never be allowed in this country again.
I’d appreciate not dumping your garbage on somebody else’s doorstep, thank you very much.
Into space is fine then, right?
Send him and Elon on a one-way trip to Mars.
The sun. I want to go to mars.
Somewhere up in high orbit sounds fine. In space nobody can hear you scream, not even Trump.
He should have been convicted at the second impeachment trial, but McConnell made up another rule that never existed before.
You guys can keep him. Just put him in an orange jumpsuit and throw him into one of your egregiously inhumane jails.
Oh, but our worst jails are outside America.
He doesn’t deserve to live. The penalty for sedition and treason is death.
One of the side effects of the past 8 years or so, that I really do not like, is that this piece of absolute garbage has made me earnestly wish for someone else to die. I don’t want to be that person, but here we are…
We should bring back exile just for him. Send him to Antarctica or some shit.
Russia, since he loves Putin so much.

Leopards Eating Faces party straight up tells voters that they’re going to eat their faces… and they still vote for them.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
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.
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.
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.
Narrator voice: they think it’s only applicable for those they don’t like.
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
Come :) the ‘venomous animals will kill you in Australia’ thing is bullshit away, I rarely see snakes or spiders, and if I do I leave them alone and they leave me alone.
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!
people cared about the environment
It might be true for people, but I heard that’s not true about their politics in general.
Wait lol can we really move down there? I’d love that, or NZ.
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.
That’s not what I saw and not what most people saw. It was fast and under wraps. Keep living in your world where you are a victim, it will only lead to more loss.
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.

Fuck off. The majority of black Americans live in the south, and more than half of the northern states voted for trump too.
What a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public that hopefully will get what they deserve.
Fuck Trump and fuck you Shill Stein donkeys too
You mean those pro-Stein accounts that won’t post another peep now?
I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.
Stein didn’t make a dent anywhere that mattered, Trump voters did this.
Less Trump voters showed up compared to last time. So if anything, the ~14 million Dem voters that showed up for Biden yet decided to not show up for Harris are more at fault.
It’s their fault, not the party or the candidate who failed to give them a reason to leave the house 🙄
If the biggest criminal the white house has ever seen becoming the president again isn’t enough of a reason to leave the house then they’re braindead.
Abuser logic. The only people directly responsible for Trump are Trump voters.
And the ones who couldn’t bother to vote against him and defend the white house from becoming infested again with the most criminal and corrupt scum it’s ever seen
I’m not gonna blame the people that failed to defend me more than the people they need to defend me from.
When people tell you what they are, believe them.
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.
I wonder how long it will be until the Trump vs Musk power struggle. My guess is early summer.
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…
