Given the fact that a large part of the American population is dumber than a bag of rocks, probably not much. But there's plenty of time to teach.

Then again, I don't think it makes much of a difference. People made up their minds on Biden vs Trump a long time ago and they are in their trenches. The US is truly in a sad state, and it's quite embarrassing when I talk to family members and friends overseas.

Withhold from team winnings.

There's plenty of time to build up someone else. Plenty.

I'd be a more excited to vote for Josh Shapiro or Michelle Obama or Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or some other good candidate, but I'd vote for Joe Biden any day of the week.

Yes, it's the same family members who refused to do their part by getting vaccinated and were convinced that the rest of us would be dead by now from the "government poison vaccine."

I'll vote for Biden for his admin's policies. I have zero in common with Trump and Republican policies. But I'd be much more excited to vote for Gretchen Whitmer or Gavin Newsom or Michelle Obama or Josh Shapiro.

Next year at SCOTUS: "Just kidding about the states' rights we talked about."

Wonder why...hmmm...

Maybe there's a reason why Americabad is such a common take? Just something to think about...

Trump controls a cult, that's why.

Cult leaders can get their followers to do anything and the followers will forgive the leader for anything, including felonies. They will dismiss any criticism of the leader as lies or made up to hurt the leader politically. No matter how true the criticism might be.

At the end of the day, it's very much like the relationship between religious worshippers and their god.

As an American who is absolutely horrified and embarrassed about our own political climate and voter behavior, it's very good to see a sane and dull transfer of power.

Sunak's speech after stepping down:

Whilst he has been my political opponent, Keir Starmer, will shortly become our prime minister. In this job, his successes will be all our successes, and I wish him and his family well. Whatever our disagreements in this campaign, He is a decent, public spirited man who I respect.

He and his family deserve the very best of our understanding as they make the huge transition to their new lives behind this door. And as he grapples with this most demanding of jobs in an increasingly unstable world.

I often hear conservative family members complain about the public school system and calling for it to be dismantled. To them, the public school system is the reason for every evil the US faces, both on economic issues and social issues. They all listen to a lot of conservative talk radio and happily mix bible quotes and Rush Limbaugh quotes into the same sentence.

There's literally nothing Donald Trump could do that would make his worshipping voters change their minds about him. They believe anything critical of him is a lie and made up to hurt him politically. I can't believe how dumb the electorate has become. Must be a general lack of education.
