People in the US, please care and look after the vulnerable people in your lives.
- Someone needs to, our government threw them under the bus
There's a sign you can see in many shops that sell beautiful but fragile items: LOVELY TO LOOK AT, DELIGHTFUL TO HOLD, BUT ONCE YOU BREAK IT, THEN IT'S SOLD. You can say the same about democracy.
He cheated, Russia literally ran interference campaigns. How are people accepting this?
- Between the gerrymandering, electoral college, stacked courts in case it was close, the whole thing was rigged already. All the land outvoted the people.
  
  I mean, he's also going to win the popular vote as well. This isn't a land outvoting people thing. He just won out-and-out.
  All the gerrymandering and EC fixes in the world wouldn't have changed the outcome if he just got more votes.
- Because even if they did, it doesn’t matter. Welcome to the other side of the conspiracy believer coin
- Because regardless of Russian interference he won by people actually voting him . This is who the US is.
- BlueMAGA now sounding like MAGA in 2020
"projects" is doing some megaton lifting
- I mean, reading the Project 2025 Manifesto ain't that hard.
I am Indian. How will this affect us
- The world is going to be fucked by climate change way more and faster than it otherwise would have been.
- The US has a massive political and cultural influence all over the world. Trump's victory will open a whole new Pandora's box when it comes to geopolitics, climate (in)action, and support of racist, sexist and xenophobic policies. His campaign strategy will probably be used by politicians all over the world, and will embolden them to try more and more unhinged bullshit.
  I don't know how it will personally affect you, but it probably will in many many direct and indirect ways.
- The internet will finally shut the fuck about about the presidential ellection.
  
  Nah, we're in for another 4 years of nonstop Trump drama like before.
  
  Oh man.
  You just got a lifetime of it. No end in sight this time.
  
  First time, eh?
  
  Maybe not about elections, per se, but I think you forgot what happened between 2016 to 2020. Almost every day news headlines were like "Trump tweets dumb thing", "Trump announces dumb thing", "Trump does dumb thing". This election period was quieter on the scale of things compared to then, and we're headed right back for it.
