Honestly Im happy he’ll win. America was on a road to fascism since the 60’s and there was nobody who really wanted to stop it. It’s better if it gets there faster.
This world is so fucked up anyways, there was never any hope, only delays.
Get a load of this guy giving up already
After Hitler, our turn
If precedent is anything to go by, you and your accelerationist bullshit are dead wrong.
Why better if it gets there faster? How many people have to die for this BS. Woman are already being sacrificed to the dark gods.
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.
don’t be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people’s faces.

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
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
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.
Yeah, the red states already hamstring k-12 to the point they can’t function.
Feds never should have let that happen.
I thought critical thinking was communism?
Which makes a solid case for communism.
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.”
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
Thanks for the new expletive.
what the nazi fuck, bro?
- 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.
Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.
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.
They’ve been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.
Lots. I don’t feel so good Mr stark.
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?
Please post your ideas here if you’d like: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
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.
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.
It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn’t the sole problem, he’s largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.
I’m so divided on this. I would love to see him do anything to mitigate the damage. But I fear that almost anything could tip us into a rural versus urban civil war. I beg all leftists to procure a gun(s), learn gun safety, and learn how to shoot.
Preferably in the next month because I wouldn’t be surprised if sales are restricted.
All I’m going to say on that, is this:
What guns you do have…. Lock them up securely. (Ideally, behind 3 locks- the room, a gun safe, and an individual cable or trigger lock.)
We don’t need more headlines like “five yo shoots family”.
Excellent advice. We do not have children or ever have them in our home so we do not go to these lengths.
It isn’t just about kids. For one thing firearms are expensive and valuable, and increases your risks of being broken into. (Most thieves, though, will only target easy victims.)
The other thing is each lock is one more conscious choice with firearms. It’s not much, but it does provide a decision-point where you can choose something else when you find yourself in a mental health crisis.
And for home defense…. It’s almost certain if it changes outcomes… it’ll be hurting you, if it’s stored open. (Now if you carry in your home, that’s different, but also… well we won’t get into that.)
It’s a good point and we do have trigger locks. I don’t want to ever have to hurt someone but especially after yesterday I’m not taking any chances.
Not many, for people of color
And women, and poor people, and journalists
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
This is the first time a politician is honest about something.
But it’s for the absolutely wrong reasons.
This is just blatantly saying “HEY! I’M GOING TO BE ABSOLUTE SHIT TO YOU ALL! AND IT’S GOING TO BE ROUGH! AND IT’S GOING TO BE NASTY! BLOODY!”
Like okay okay, we have had months leading up to this to know. We don’t need you to remind us yet again about how you’ll do things.
Its almost as though he just doesn’t care about anyone but himself.
Can you imagine not seeing that? Like literally the first time you see/hear him speak?
I just don’t… I can’t…
Project 2025 is going to be nasty.

Nobody is going to change who they are and how they want to live because of Putin’s fat orange bitch.
Narrator voice: they think it’s only applicable for those they don’t like.
I’ll pass.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
Don’t forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.
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.
