Donald Trump defeats Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. president, NBC News projects
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!
In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.
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.
They won the popular vote. We lost as hard as we could and we can see plainly that mid terms are hopeless too.
Trump dying of a heart attack (or whatever) is even more frightening with Vance in the mix.
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.
Democracy suffers another blow by its own hand
This was the kill shot for democracy or what we called democracy.
Too many misogynists in this country.
And racists. Don't forget about the racists.
And it wasn't even close... Holy shit America, what the fuck is wrong with you.
So there was a lot of "I will get rid of my political opponents" in this election. Political assaesinations were explicitly okayed by that corrupt bunch called the supreme Court, sooooo... Can we expect a whole lotta "kamela walked by an open window and shit happened" type situations?
He talked about dozens of millions of people that would be deported right away, where to? Mexico won't just be able to accept millions of refugees, how would any of that work?
Then climate... The world literally is fucked. Climate chante is through the roof and multiple points of no return have come and passed. There are still things we sorta can do if we really step up and work hard on it, invest a lot of money. That's all gone, so yeah... Expect major catastrophes within the decade thanks to this, fuck you America, you are killing the world
Loads of women will die, but then again, they already did in the past years and nobody gave a shit to really stop that.
Ukraine is fucked, Europe will now have to take over it's defense. NATO will suffer and likely continue without the US, I guess?
Palestinians are fucked, they'll die. Sorry guys by at least some people got to vote for Stein!
So we have a Jesus will come back cult controlled by Putin in charge of 5,500 nukes and this time they've prepared, nothing yo see here.
What else?
Oooohhh, project 2025!
Military will he used against US citizens, meh, they called that in themselves at his point
Press freedoms will go away
Personal freedoms will go away
Polarization in he county is at its maximum
And again, we haver a jeebus cult why Nikes who want to bring the happy news yo the entire world. Trump already threatened to invade Mexico before so...
One wonders how fucked up the next decades will be for everyone.
Wil there be a US civil war? I think it's an actual fair question. How many rights can a king take away before people say, enough? Maybe one can hope for a coup?
All of this is insane, yet, correct me if I'm wrong here, at least half of the above will likely happen
Yay Americans, you got what you wanted
I feel like an alien or something. I just feel so disconnected from my fellow Americans.
There are about 66 million of us that probably feel the same way. You're not alone.
Well, when the Nazis initially started "getting rid" of Jews they started with deportation and other countries refused to take them.
Given how that turned out I'm sure it will be fine.
Voters were presented with a choice between a baloney sandwich and a literal pile of human shit, and enough people whined that the sandwich didn't have mayo.
Edit: I will not be engaging with you, as I've said before.
Well, when that baloney sandwich spends the whole campaign saying "I can smell like a pile of human shit too!" it should be obvious why it lost to an actual pile of human shit.
Maybe you should ask yourself why a baloney sandwich was hand picked over something like a patty melt, club, or BLT and why that baloney sandwich was more concerned with trying to look like a pile of human shit than a delicious sandwich.
At least the gun violence is now earned.
You just gotta love the hallucinations people get when talking about certain groups.
<Insert favorite group>
were civil and masters of hidden science and never fought wars, that's all inventions of the evil white man! We neeeeever did slaves, only white men did, and my group is so cultured, man!The US right now is the strongest player on the world, but do not for a second think that your group would do less evil if they were in the place of the US.
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
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.
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.
So what position in the white house will Musk get now?
Bandit Baron I guess
Secretary of Cost Cutting. I'm not joking.
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.
Oh ffs.
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?
It's all my fault. I voted for Stein.
It's not.
USA! USA!
And all of you had the nerve to reproach us, Russians of inability to prevent the election of the bad leader.
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
Hell yeah
Only consolation is that most of trump’s supporters will also suffer for this, idiots
Hell, yeah.
It's hell, yeah. (I know that's your joke, but I gotta explain it for weirdos.)
Hurrraay, open shampane 🍾🎉🇺🇸😁
Yep... That checks out.
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.
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
We really did have everything, didn't we
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
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)?
Like Biden or Kamala wouldn't do the same with active support of genocide in Gaza.
Red or Blue - certain things remain.
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.
Kinda makes you wonder why Joe Biden didn't take advantage of that at any point over the last several months when so much is at stake.
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.
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
Yes.
