Free pass revoked. Showed us who the nation is that shows up late to wars after waffling on sides is now that you voted to abandon Ukraine and Gaza. And maybe even NATO and lives. And stuck your dick in the world economy again.
It’s not over yet. They still have votes to count throughout the night. If he does win after the official numbers come in, the good news is, you will never have to vote again. Voting is over from that point on. And if he drops dead in office, christian nationalism will take over with JD Vance. Keep your couches locked up!
Thanks for the silver lining.
I guess people really do want fascism. We talk about it like it’s an obviously-awful thing, but apparently most Americans disagree. Most people around the world seem to disagree, in fact. We laugh about the idiots voting for Trump, but far right lunatics are gaining positions of power all over the planet. It’s not just Fox News-fed Americans.
It feels like we’re building up to something catastrophic.
Fox News is a vestige of the 20th century. Social media is the 21st century Fox News. Everyone knows it’s bad but we have not reckoned with it. Everyone agrees it’s bad then everyone returns to scrolling their echo chamber.
Unfortunately the social media oligarchs side with Trump. We’re all fucked.

The dumb bastards just gave Gaza to Bibi and Ukraine to Putin. And that is just a small part.
And I wouldn’t be surprised if Taiwan was next now
It will be. The orange shit stain and co. will hand that shit over in no time. I’m betting he’s going to leak military secrets as well because he’s a fucking idiot.
The next 4 years are going to be rough…and mark my words. Every dipshit that voted for him, will be blaming biden somehow for increased costs everywhere.
I hate reality
I’m going to quote one of the great minds of our time.
“Is this real life???”
“Is this going to be forever???”
“aaahhhhhhhUUUGAAAHHHHHHH!!!”

It’s surprising how often a 10 year old high on drugs from 15 years ago is profound in describing situations of the modern day.
🤦🏼♂️
At this point a meteorite nuking our planet is probably better for everyone.
Jesus fucking Christ not again
Actually it’s not gonna be “again”. It’s gonna be way, way worse.
I really feel for the billions of people, including my fucking self, who didn’t get a vote but who still have to suffer the consequences of this.
here we go again…
Fuck.
Just with a bit of estimation of the remaining 12% of votes uncounted, Trump is going to beat his 2020 vote record by a couple million, 81 million on the high end and maybe closer to 77 million on the low end. Unlikely, but possible he beats the 2020 all time record set by Biden. Definitely beats his 2020 numbers.
Kamala recently pulled ahead of Hillary’s 65 million and Obama’s 66 million, she’s gonna end up around 71-74 million.
Kamala lost the Popular Vote. In fact she won some blue states by smaller margins then she lost some ‘swing’ states. Nevada might not even be tight enough to qualify as a swing state this election(needs to be 5% or less, Trump’s currently winning by 5.2% meaning it wasn’t a swing state), meanwhile Minnesota was won by 3, New Jersey by 4, New Hampshire by 4 and a half, and Maine might be lost we’ll see, but those 4 were all swing states as the margin was less than 5%. New Mexico and Virginia came very close(and New Mexico would have been under 5 without RFK Jr dragging Trump down a point).
This also suggests the Electoral College no longer favors Republicans, and is somewhere between neutral and actually favoring Democrats again. 2028 a tight election with a Democrat win could see them lose the PV and win the EC.
I had a ton of 2004 vibes from the start and it looks like that was correct. He is coming back to serve a second term, and YES, this time he won the national electiiion.
Oh thanks to your Ohia and your brother Jebidiah(Also you can’t blame third parties this time, they did horribly nationwide. At worst maybe they tightened up Virginia a bit just through how uniquely bad for Democrats it was there, but on the other hand RFK Jr is the only reason New Mexico didn’t crack a sub 5 margin and go into Swing State territory again(Harris won by 5.2 there and RFK got 1 point. No third party means that crosses the 5 point threshold)
Welp. Remember guys save money. Those tariffs are gonna hit hard. Make friends, they will help you get through harder times. Workout and become physically stronger, you may need it. Archive books and studies and pieces of knowledge that may get banned.
And for right now, drink some water and go to sleep. No need in worrying about this right now. We’ll have plenty of time to do so anyways.
This is somehow less of a gut-punch than 2016 when everyone just assumed Americans would do the right thing and not elect Trump. It still sucks, but it’s less of a surprise. The writing was kind of on the wall for awhile though, just given the fact that the election was as close as it was. Even if Trump hadn’t won, that he was able to run the most garbage campaign in history and was still tying it up was pretty damning of America.
So now we watch as we just peacefully transfer power to the most vile, irresponsible person on Earth and watch the world burn.
Why would anyone ever think they would do the right thing?
Because they did in 2020. A last gasp of human decency.
Not everyone in this country is stupid. But too many people are.
As an Australian watching this all unfold I just can’t believe you guys did it again.
As an American…I’m just going to crash on your couch for the forseeable future.
Because you’re American we’d prefer you not and actually fix your shit. Sorry, not sorry.
You’re Australian?
I keep refreshing the page hoping for better results but I cannot believe my country is this fucking stupid
As a fellow Australian, I don’t understand why you’re surprised.
“Hold your nose and vote for the lesser evil” may be pragmatic, but it doesn’t get people emotionally engaged. It doesn’t get you infectious enthusiasm and passion. It gets you reluctant, dejected compliance, and that simply does not catch fire.
On the other side you have nothing but emotional engagement; god knows it’s not a rational or pragmatic choice there. Trump does nothing but pander to hatred and cruelty and fear and the power fantasies of gullible idiots, and it fucking works. Cheap shallow emotional satisfaction, no matter how stupid an idea it is. You know, like junk food and binge drinking and cigarettes and pokies; things that people know full well are ruining their lives, but they continue to seek them out regardless.
If the dems ever want to win, they will have to make the progressives fall in love with them, and you don’t get that by backing genocide unconditionally, you just don’t.
They didn’t get the oh-god-yes, just a not-no, and that does not equal consent.
Nobody with an eighth of a brain needs that much extra reason to put out a house fire in their own house.
It’s exactly as surprising as they’re saying.
Bruh, you see the whole world moving towards more shittyness as a whole and you think nobody is that stupid?
We are all stupid, you because you prefer to bury your head in the sand instead of dealing with reality as it has shown itself. I have my own brand of stupidity and we’re all responsible for the way the world is turning out.
you are ignoring the fact that other option has been already burning their house already. would you buy again from wendy’s if their ad tell you to buys them because burger king is dogshit when they had sold you a moldy burger ?
Seconded. The first time I was willing to write it off as frustrated voters being misled by a conman. This time is different. You all had four years under this rapist conman and enough people decided they’d go back for seconds. Despicable.
Doesn’t help they ran an unpopular candidate. I voted for Harris but too many racist sexiest people in America in both parties. Hell I heard democrats that joked when they voted for Obama that they voted for his white half. Harris was half black and half Indian. Also lot of black men wouldn’t cote for a woman especially one of color. And I heard a lot of Indian hated that she half black.
Oh definitely. The fascists and brainlets that voted for Trump are joined by the racists and sexists who abstained from voting for Harris. Now we all get to suffer the consequences of their squandered democracy.
Seems to me that the election results are showing just how sexists and racist the country is. People voting for trump because they like him are certainly that and people voting for trump because Harris is female and non white are that too.
Racists aren’t the sexiest in my opinion, and that puts me in the minority…
We can’t either
You got a room to rent?
You think you’d be welcome? At this point the entire world sees your ‘culture’ as rotten to the core and by extension all its peoples are contaminated. You could be truthfully stating “I didn’t vote for that orange asshole” and nobody is going to risk believing you, nor care.
This cutesy ‘I am moving somewhere else for 4 years’ joke tells me you aren’t taking this seriously which doesn’t help ya’lls case. No, you stay stuck in your shithole country until things are bad enough you fix your shit because ain’t nobody going to save you and it is time you and your ilk learn that.
I agree with you, and I did canvassing and call banking sooo yeah.I am legitimately looking at my options. I’m just amazed at how many Americans hate women.
