It'll be extremely bitter sweet, one day seeing a AmeriNazi and asking em WTF they were thinking electing a guy that literally says the economy will be worse, to boost the economy.
Have crash it to get the growth duh!
/s but I legit thinks that's what is going to happen.
When people tell you what they are, believe them.
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
- A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it's all talks,
- when he talks about making the economy better, it's all in good faith,
- all the "necessary evil" can be undone in the next election cycle,
- and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.
Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.
Lots. I don't feel so good Mr stark.
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
Narrator voice: they think it's only applicable for those they don't like.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.
Trump is going to increase MUH LEGAL immigration by a lot. Wages are going to go down as result and unions will be gutted. Will police still support Trump when they end up making 18 USD/HR? That's what he means by hardships.
Corporations are going to see a huge increase in profits because they're going to cut labor cost by importing cheap labor.
I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.
It's honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that's been oppressing them their whole lives. It's amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that've been oppressing you for centuries? It'd be less depressing and more funny if it wasn't for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.
Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you
college, housing benefits... healthcare.
funny, the exact same things conservatives have made impossible to obtain....
Police are going to support trump because hes all "back the blue", because soon they will all be his henchmen.
Likely the police will make even more, and will be hired to bust unions.
I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:
Fuck.
At this point I think maybe he will have america burn down so something decent can be built this time. I only feel bad for the rest of the world they are trying to take with them
Maybe Canada can invade again?
Not with the conservatives in power
And this fucker is about to win... I can't believe this.... And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won't even vote for their own best interests
57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.
And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
The inflation will be yuge!
Fuck Trump and fuck you Shill Stein donkeys too
Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.
It's been in hospice since 2000.
Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?
Biden could do an official act. A couple of official acts, even.
I'm a Struggling Middle Class Hispanic Woman and I'm GLAD that I voted for the Man who promised to Deport me, force my Daughter to Carry her Rapist's baby, create HUGE Financial Turmoil and Enslave me!
Yeah let's blame it on the minorities and women instead of the misogynist, racist, absolute piece of shit white men who voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
I'm a Misogynist Racist Piece of Shit White Man and I voted for the man who PROMISES to Hurt everyone I don't like (Including my Wife and Daughters) so why bring Me into this?
