If Trump loses there are the next two months of wondering how many people will die around the inauguration, then the next two years of wondering what the project 2027 people are going to do, then...
The only way to stop this is to fix the US system. Fix the courts. Fix the elections. Fix gerrymandering. Fix the right wing control of the media. Fix the lies from the "news".
A law that said the press can not be for-profit, would never happen, but would probably help
Thank Reagan. He ended the Fairness Doctrine. Which is the only reason Trumpism ever happened.

Me: unsubbing every single politics community
Showerthoughts:
Hope you're not American, because if you are then it's gonna be really hard to block out the consequences of this election
Luckily, I am not
You need to block users. Users like me! I am glad you are using lemmy your way. Peace.
selfaware lemmy.ml user? based.
Can't stress this enough. And block based on keywords. My lemmy experience improved dramatically once I started blocking users, subs, and instances I didn't like.
Those users get to enjoy their thing, and I wont yuck their yum. I've managed to cutout most of the rage bait and the stuff in my feed is genuinely interesting.
I already do, and it's great!
It's just that this post evaded all my filters anyway thanks to phrasing :D

You're not worried about him falling off the toilet and dieing?
Trump is just the useful idiot to install Vance, who's essentially a Musk proxy.

Its 7 minutes until polls close where I am. I voted absentee but still thinking of everyone that still needs to vote
People outside the US have always been terrified of what the US president might do. Imagine if China had military bases all over the world.
The Kenyan Ambassador to the UN once addressed criticism of his country's relationship with China thusly:
"Every time the English visit Kenya, they bring a lecture. Every time the Chinese visit Kenyan, they build a hospital"

Valid take. The military industrial complex is a terrifying ordeal.

And the thing is: Trump is not a clever man. In fact, he's blantantly, obviously, ferociously stupid. He didn't just appear out of nowhere. The rest of us have been watching this dog eat grass for the last 50 years.
I can't beleive the number of New Yorkers (NYC residents and expats) that trust Trump. He has wreaked havoc across the city and metro area with terrible buildings, stiffed contractors, and constant financial mockery. His post-TV show perception has done an insane job of making even the most affected people forget what a sack of shit he his. They really think 1. He runs businesses well due to his continued financial growth and that 2. Running the country like his businesses will somehow benefit them, the national equivalent of those laid off from his private endeavors.
So anyway, that's how I know they just racist assholes.
