At this point a meteorite nuking our planet is probably better for everyone.
This is somehow less of a gut-punch than 2016 when everyone just assumed Americans would do the right thing and not elect Trump. It still sucks, but it’s less of a surprise. The writing was kind of on the wall for awhile though, just given the fact that the election was as close as it was. Even if Trump hadn’t won, that he was able to run the most garbage campaign in history and was still tying it up was pretty damning of America.
So now we watch as we just peacefully transfer power to the most vile, irresponsible person on Earth and watch the world burn.
Why would anyone ever think they would do the right thing?
Because they did in 2020. A last gasp of human decency.
The Democratic Project 25 - as in the 25th Amendment on Day 1.
Great job, dipshits. I hope this personally impacts each and every person that voted for him.
One side of me hopes they outlaw computer games and porn like it’s laid out in project 2025. Unfortunately, it will hit everyone, but I fear that this is gonna happen anyway.
It definitely will and they still will blame the other party.
Oh it definitely will. Just his tariff plans are gonna turn everywhere into a 3rd world country, not just the republican backwaters.
At this point, it’s just desserts. The US had it coming for even letting him run in the first place. That being said, Republican backwaters are going to get fucked way harder than metro populations. Poor boomers are going to get wiped out without social security, Medicaid, or kids that love them anymore. The south can enjoy the next hurricane without FEMA aid. Have fun watching your loved ones get deported because you thought this only impacted “illegals”, assholes. I have my popcorn ready.
Fuck em.
Unfortunately it’s worse than this. It seems like the GOP has successfully indoctrinated a new generation if incel supporters in high enough numbers to matter. If this trend continues the boomers can die and we’ll still be fucked.

No, they meant ‘supporters who are incels’, not ‘supporters of an incel’.
I agree with everything except that last bit:
Fuck
emall of us.The splashback on this is going to hit everyone. I’m trying really hard not to be alarmist, but what happens with the American government literally has ramifications for everyone. We might not feel the hit right away, but the ripples will lap your shores too…
Ohh shit, I didn’t even consider the kids canceling the parents.
They will find a way to blame Democrats for it though
If they’re not rounded up and shot…
Me too. I would love that positive change in my life.
It will and they will put it on Biden
It’s going to impact an enormous amount of people who didn’t vote for him either though.
Its also going to impact the other 2/3rd of voters that dont give a fuck and dont vote at all. I hate this country so much
I can’t fucking believe we did it to ourselves again I’m completely in shock, this is fucking ridiculous.
I would say the same thing but just drive a car somewhere some time. People are the stupidest most selfish garbage you can imagine. And nothing brings that behavior out of them like driving a car.
Under trump i doubt much “freedom inhibiting” transit will be built. And bike lanes are ablist so they are gone. Sidewalks will be gone too as only “poor people” walk so why waste taxes on them. Hell, he might even rip out a railway to build a highway, cause that’s more american.
Speaking of driving, that could be a protest measure. Super simple, super legal. Just obey all traffic laws, stay to the right, AND always drive 5 below the speed limit.
Sure it could elicit gunfire, vehicular assault, stalking. But the rear view mirror theater will be to die for.
I’d be way more shocked if he somehow lost.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Well fuck me sideways.
The “shift in votes” map on the NYT is INSANE.
The green arrows are absent
They are invisible, just like the “green” party in a bipartisanship. But you can pool them with the reds as that’s who they favour.
Link?
Welp, I’m going to skip work tomorrow and figure out how to get citizenship elsewhere. Fuck the US.
You can basically live indefinitely in the SEA with US passport (Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). Find a in a nice liberal bubble with loads of other foreigners as long as you can make 2,000 usd/mo you’ll be quite comfy and free here.
I’ve long given up on being part of the core society and embraced the life in a bubble. It’s pretty awesome! Feel free to message me if you have any questions :)
I wish I were in a position to do this, but between being married and having a cat, dog, and horses…constant moving just doesn’t work.
I’ll leave my job and work at what amounts to a US mini mart. IDGAF. I’m just sick of this country.
I understand and wishing you strength with this 🙏
How much do you make? I’m up for some light marriage fraud if you’d like a Finnish citizenship.
Hahaha. Love it. Happily married though. But in all transparency I make ~$400k in the US, but similar prospects overseas probably pay closer to $80k from what I’ve heard.
I don’t mind a pay cut. But my research this far seems to indicate that settling down somewhere else permanently is difficult.
I’m an American living permanently in Germany. It is difficult, especially keeping on top of paperwork. It’s not impossible though, and even easier if you’re in tech (I’m assuming by the fivefold pay increase). If you learn the language of the place you’re trying to stay, it’s much easier.
Just be aware that Germany is turning more and more right-wing, too…
I’m well aware, but it’s a good sight better off than the US for now. Citizenship in an EU country entitles you to freedom of travel within the EU and residency in any EU country, so once I get that, my husband and I will be able to look at other countries (though really only the Nordic countries and Ireland are better options, that we can see, and those are all pretty expensive comparatively), but even just in Germany, the difference is wild. The institutions here are much stronger, as is the sense of solidarity, so even with the (terrifying) success of the AFD and BSW/FW peeling off votes from the left and more mainstream parties, there’s a very long way to go before Germany is as far to the right as the US. Plus, you have a right to healthcare and much stronger workers’ rights (and rent is way cheaper outside of major cities, I’m talking €400/$440 for a two bedroom).
Yes, you’re correct.
Cool, I’ll look into it, thanks!
I’m fortunate enough to also have EU citizenship. Will be booking tickets for me and the fam shortly. America is not the place for us.
Just woke up to this…
What the fuck… How is this even possible…
It’s a sad day today.
The majority of the stupid is invincible and guaranteed for all time. The terror of their tyranny, however, is alleviated by their lack of consistency.
Albert Einstein
Didn’t Einstein have to flee Nazi Germany and migrate to another country?
I dunno man. I’m not feeling good about this at all.
Yes, Einstein had to flee Nazi Germany. And yes, I’m not too sure about the last part of the quote either. Dark times are to come I guess - and probably not just for the US but for the whole democratic world.
And they won the Senate and are on track to win the house. The supreme Court is already in Trump’s pocket and even if he choked on a big Mac and keeled over tomorrow that still leaves Vance, who is just as insane as trump but knows how to make his shit palatable to anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, which as tonight proves is more than half the country. We are 1000% well and truly fucked.
Where are you seeing they’ll win the house? All I see is a narrow blue control of the house on projected outcomes.
If you are talking about the in progress data, you can’t really assume much from it. Different classes of votes get counted at different times. In person versus mail in, urban versus rural. Some places had their urban in real quick, some had their urban in late.
There’s no way the population that voted Trump in by such a wide margin did not also secure the house, which is generally districted in favor of Republicans anyway
The mail ins haven’t been counted fully, lots of swing states stopped counting at 8 pm eastern standard time. Kamala has a solid chance to flip enough to get to 270, 2020 wasnt called till 4 days after the election. Stop being doomers until after the fucken votes are properly counted.
Here’s how Bernie can still win
Harris has to take fucking Alaska to make it at this point. This is nothing but copium my dude.
It really aint, this could very easily be a repeat of 2020, IE Pennsylvania and Georgia flip in the next couple days due to mail ins. Both Georgia and Pennsylvania are very tight.
The media doesnt call the election.
It’s over man. The only thing that could help now is Joe calling in some executive actions.
I am going to keep up some vague hope since it is the only thing tempering a bezerk fury not seen in my kin for over 150 fucken years.
Even if you’re right, here. Trump will petition the supreme court to have the count stopped. Memories of Bush v Gore.
Then we fucken ignore them, let them enforce their fucken decision!
Welp. Remember guys save money. Those tariffs are gonna hit hard. Make friends, they will help you get through harder times. Workout and become physically stronger, you may need it. Archive books and studies and pieces of knowledge that may get banned.
And for right now, drink some water and go to sleep. No need in worrying about this right now. We’ll have plenty of time to do so anyways.
Dear anyone that voted for this useless cunt,
You are fucking retarded. Thanks for ruining everything for the rest of us, dipshit.
With absolutely no love, any creature with an actual brain.
Dear anyone that voted for this useless cunt,
…and anyone that didn’t vote for Harris,
FTFY
The margins are far to large for third partly voters to spoil this, but you be mad at whatever helps you feel better.
The only reason the cunt won isn’t because he got a lot of votes, it’s because nobody went and voted for the only other logical, sane option. Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris is arguably kinda responsible for what comes next. And anyone that directly voted for the narsistic peadophile is absolutely responsible for every single horrible thing that is about to happen in this country because of that POS.
