politics

I'm trans and I'm terrified, terrified for my queer friends and family, terrified for Ukraine and Palestine, and terrified for the planet.

If you didn't vote or voted for this piece of shit, fuck you. If you voted for him, you deserve the massive inflation and shit he's about to put you through.

I hate this timeline

America is a country full of stupid people.

We are so fucked. The repercussions of this election are going to effect everything from SCOTUS to county courts. This is so utterly disgusting. People looked at the shit spewing from his mouth and said, "Yes, represent me."

Fuck this country.

So, I always thought it was just a mean bully thing to say, but, as a group, Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.

Now watch the effects ripple through the world. Now that a guy like him can be elected, politicians around the world will take note and use the same playbook. And it will probably work.

We already felt it in France with the 2016 US election, I can't imagine what the next decade will be like...

You reap what you sow, America.

It's going to be wild seeing the mass round-up of all the Latinos who voted for him.

You dumb fucks.

Personally, it kinda feels like a weight's been lifted. Now I can let go of the last shred of pretense of this country being anything other than a fat fucking joke.

I'm in shock... Good luck to you, American Democracy. It was nice knowing ya.

This time there's no saying you didn't know. This time there's no saying "well more voters wanted different". You get what you get, apparently enough people fall for "look over there" types of distractions in politics.

The clock to progress has been set back at least 10 years. I know digital-age low-information fascism is on its way to Canada and I am definitely not ready.

I was born just before Reagan was elected. Growing up, I got the mostly mistaken impression that America had some of its shit sorted from Vietnam, WWII, and all that 20th century turmoil. A period of stability. Upward trending society. Reagan undid a lot of that progress.

I've been watching this country die, slowly, for 45 years. This has been such a weird time to be alive. Fighting over scraps we volunteered to subsist on instead of overthrowing corrupt and cruel systems. We had periods we thought we were recovering. We had hope. I feel today like there isn't any left. Another four years of this, and it will be worse.

He struck a fatal blow. He used the tools of fear and rhetoric to do it. The weakness was there, the vulnerability. And here is the next evolution of American fear. We're a country voluntarily destroying itself out of fear of our imminent destruction. We had everything, and we gave it away.

We heard the call of the void, and we've answered.

Kind of an unsatisfying but still well deserved "TOLD YOU SO" moment... I knew those fuckers would be moronic enough to vote for this shit faced fascist again, while everyone told me to expect a Harris landslide... The fact that everyone talked about fucking grocery prices, tech research, housing prices, kids, abortions, and other (in the grand scheme of things) irrelevant bullshit that won't matter anymore, while we're literally about to seal the deal on our fate as a species, tells you clearly that no one wants to understand where we're headed and what's at stake.

But since nothing matters anymore, here's some more predictions from yours truly:

• The US will turn into a fascist state (Tankies: AcKcHyUaLlY... ☝🏻🤡)
• Ukraine is going to get fucked by Russia, genociding them for good. The only chance here would be if NATO went in to liberate Ukraine before Trump is inaugurated, but neither Biden nor the rest of the West is going to have the balls for that.
• Moldova will follow right after.
• Taiwan will get fucked by China.
• The world will fall into an economic crisis due to the fall of TSMC.
• The rise of far right extremism & politics will continue within Europe.
• NATO Alliance will be practically gone.
• Far right countries in Europe will join Russia.
• Russia & Friends will invade and annex the Baltic States.
• The world globally failing to do anything to curb emissions will fall into a climate collapse. Causing food and water shortages, severe natural disasters, millions upon millions of climate refugees - which will get shot at the borders due to the now far right policies. All other issues above will amplify with the world state worsening and becoming more and more unstable.

TLDR: Nothing fucking matters anymore, we're done. Thanks, you dumb fucks.

I voted for Harris but I can't help but feel democrats did this to themselves. We've held a decent amount of power over the last 20 years but have done shockingly little. Just slowly letting our country dry and shrivel, leaving people increasingly desperate. Times like these make people seek change, ANY CHANGE, including voting for a dictator. Status-quo politics will fail every time during times like these. Who wants to die slowly?

All authoritarian countries are born from desperation. Chinese communist party, Nazi Germany, the USSR, Iran, North Korea and soon America.

Called it, using Allan Lichtman's own 13 keys principle (in ways that he himself overlooked), and on a heavily downvoted comment.

Where I was wrong was with how narrow the result would he. It wasn't even Gore v Bush levels of close unlike when Lichtman's 13 keys prediction previously failed. Kamala lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that tried to usurp democracy and is the reason why abortion is no longer a federal right. The Republicans spent the last few weeks crapping on Haitians and Puerto Ricans, yet won some districts with large Latino populations.

This is what happens when Democrats ignore their voter base and choose a cabal of unpopular and uncharismatic candidates to carry the torch. The bar is now so low that we need James Cameron to venture out into the Mariana Trench and lift it back up again...

We have lost, democracy has lost, today the American people have lost to tyranny. All the Americans can do now is collect themselves and reorganize, the next four years will be the toughest years in American history and its effects will ripple across the world.

Fuck conservatives always and forever.

And all of the accounts that I've been tagging here for the past several months doing everything they fucking could to get Trump elected? Nowhere to be seen. What a shock.

I don't wanna hear any more moralizing and complaining from young leftists who can't even be bothered to perform their civic duty and vote. Shut the fuck up. What happens to Gaza in 2025 is on you, not Harris or the Democrats. And when you bitch about the genocide, remember that you facilitated it. You gave up your duty and gave Netanyahu exactly what he wanted, a clear path.

Not only are we in the worst timeline....

I actually don't have anything to add.

How did we get here? And even more terrifying how many people that actually went to go vote were surprised that Biden wasn't on the ticket?!?!

And let me just go ahead and get myself in trouble. Fuck you every single person that didn't vote for Kamala Harris that was eligible.

SPECIFICALLY...

Well I guess I don't want to get in trouble that bad.

Yes, this is the fucking bullshit we live with. Due to our winner-take-all insanely backwards system....

I'm not technically allowed to properly criticize whomever didn't show up to the polls.

Whatever groups they may or may not belong to.

Yeah I'm sounding like a motherfucking Maga bitch right now.....

But guess what Arab Americans and black men??!?!!? ( if and only if those are demographics that didn't show up to vote )

Get completely and totally fucked by the Trump administration. Has nothing to do with me and everything do with them

Edit:

For what it's worth I'm terribly sorry for not including the Latino vote that went to Trump

Ultimately it doesn't really matter which particular demographic I blame because the truth is I'm not blaming anyone in particular.

Fuck America, fuck me, and fuck Trump
