For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.

I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.

No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!

Yeah that adds up :/ Sucks, but my liberal transgender friends have been panicking about us all ending up in concentration camps, which has felt pretty unrealistic to me but fuck if I know. Maybe dems will realize by 2028 that continuing to go to the right doesn't work and we'll get another pro-lgbt candidate but, doesn't seem likely.

Yeah you’re not ending up in camps. My country is in far worse shape than yours with lgbt rights and even we haven’t reached that point. Getting anti-lgbt legislation passed that makes it harder to get gender affirming care is more likely

My condolences. In hindsight it was dumb of me to be worried in the first place, but its hard to feel that way when everyone else around me is panicky. Guess it'll just be another 4 years of Trump saying something outrageous, Dems getting up in arms (but not fundamentally doing anything about it), and things getting slowly worse with nobody in power actually trying to stop it.
