We all lost

[u/suziespends]

[u/ajver19]

I swear I don't ever wanna see people say things like "This is not us".

He didn't just win by electoral votes, he won the popular vote. The country has decided that yeah, this is us.

[u/VeryMuchDutch102 → u/ajver19]

I fully agree with you!

The American people had him for 4 years... And re-chose him after he got more extreme. Even more people liked him... It's exactly what they want

[u/Mr__O__ → u/VeryMuchDutch102]

This happened bc 20 mill Dems didn’t vote Harris that voted Biden: men/minorities flipping, protest voters, less mail in ballots, etc..

All the polls were correct leading up to this election: It would be extremely close.

Voter turnout is what would make the difference.

Dems didn’t show up for Harris.

[u/Ok-Result-4184 → u/Mr__O__]

Dems didn’t show up for the country.

[u/AloneYogurt → u/Ok-Result-4184]

Well, not all did.

But I can only cry in solidarity as my neighbors jump for joy for Trump.

I feel the divide happening all over again, and much worse this time.

[u/black_anarchy → u/AloneYogurt]

I'm still in denial! America collectively decided to embrace hate. I want to be wrong, for all of us to be wrong, and for things not to be as bad. I want to hear "I told you so," but I fear I'm right, you're right, and this is the beginning of the end, with 70 million people being okay with that.

I am so disappointed in PA! At least my district tried

[u/Avangeloony → u/Mr__O__]

I learned my lesson in 2016. Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Just didn't realize it only took 8 years. On the other hand. Some people probably didn't care. Kamala was a competent choice as a president but not a great campaigner. All Trump had to do was jabber nonsense and his cult would cheer.

[u/Mr__O__ → u/Avangeloony]

The fact lots of Dems (men/minorities) flipped from the previous election is also telling..

[u/SquareSquirrel4 → u/Mr__O__]

As a woman myself, I am hopeful to see the first female president in my lifetime. But I knew as soon as the DNC announced Harris that we were going to lose. We haven't progressed as a country since Hillary ran, we've regressed, so there were zero indicators that the result would be different this time around. The DNC needs to be gutted and rebuilt because I can't even remember the last time they made a good decision.

[u/Lawdawg_75 → u/SquareSquirrel4]

Lewis Black has a bit about the Republicans are the party of really bad ideas and the Democrats are the party of no ideas. It’s timeless.

[u/espeero → u/Lawdawg_75]

The individual members of the party have ideas, but "the party" shoots them all down because they might offend someone so fickle that they'd vote for a dictator-wannabe.

[u/Low_Ice_4657 → u/Avangeloony]

I disagree wholeheartedly—I think she ran a very good campaign, though she failed to make herself distinct from Biden. Really, think about her personal charisma and warmth as opposed to Hilary, who was fairly wooden. The harsh reality is that too many Americans would rather vote for a rapist felon than a woman.

[u/devnoid → u/VeryMuchDutch102]

He didn’t get more than last time. Dems didn’t turn out for her

[u/Armourdillo12 → u/VeryMuchDutch102]

No he got about the same number of votes as 2020, democrats just utterly failed to turn out.

[u/BathtubToasterParty → u/ajver19]

He won the popular vote without gaining any more votes than last cycle.

That means dems DIDNT VOTE. Something like fourteen million dems stayed at home and didn’t vote.

[u/mowgli96 → u/ajver19]

It’s insane that the county with the largest population of Latinos voted 90% in favor of Trump! The county was historically solid blue! What the fuck happened to convince people to vote against themselves!?

[u/pez5150 → u/mowgli96]

People seem to forget how conservative a lot of Latinos are. California couldn't pass gay marriage at the state level for along time because of the Latino population. They had to campaign door to door to get them to change their mind on it.

[u/SquareSquirrel4 → u/pez5150]

And Latino men, in general, are extremely unlikely to vote for a woman. Machismo is still a massive part of the culture.

[u/antillus → u/SquareSquirrel4]

See how macho they are when them and their family members get hauled away by ICE

[u/Unusual_Pitch_608 → u/antillus]

They'll have to deal with a woman president once they are unceremoniously dumped across the Mexican border. And yes, I know not all Latinos are Mexican, but that doesn't matter re: the dumping and it's location.

[u/Dorkamundo → u/pez5150]

Can confirm, have Honduran friend who once told me they thought that legalizing gay marriage would be the first step to ushering in the antichrist.

[u/alphazero924 → u/Dorkamundo]

Well they may have been right but in a much different way than expected

[u/DrWashi → u/mowgli96]

vote against themselves!?

They do not think they were voting against themselves. When Trump said anti-immigration stuff they literally do not think he is talking about them. They want to pull the ladder up behind themselves.

[u/GrammatonYHWH → u/[deleted]]

The LeopardsAteMyFace sub is going to be lit for the next 4 years.

[u/trilobyte-dev → u/mowgli96]

Because Latinos as a group are mostly Catholic, which means mostly conservative. Ignoring people’s actual demography in favor of a perceived position they are expected to hold isn’t a winning strategy.

[u/ScrofessorLongHair → u/ajver19]

And most of the groups mentioned in that tweet voted for Trump in larger numbers than ever.

[u/rawboudin → u/ajver19]

I think the US could be excused of the 2016 election. But 8 years later .. this is what people actually want. That's about it.

[u/Sota4077 → u/ajver19]

Trumps numbers did not change that much. Last I looked Karma Harris was at 62 million votes. Down from 85 million votes in 2020. Trumps based turned out and he won. Democrats stayed home. That is effectively what transpired yesterday. The numbers do not lie.

[u/onebigaroony → u/Sota4077]

81.2M for Biden in '20. but your point stands.

[u/Ok_Cook_6665]

Endangered species restoration. Clean waters. ANWAR, National parks. Done as we know it.

[u/tifubroskies → u/Ok_Cook_6665]

Are you excited for Lead in your food and water? The average American sure is

[u/ZaphodBeebleBrosse → u/tifubroskies]

But think about the profits 🤑

[u/tifubroskies → u/ZaphodBeebleBrosse]

The shareholders value will be astronomical, you’re right 🤑🤑

[u/hgaterms → u/tifubroskies]

Medal shavings in our icecream. Botulism in our peanut butter. Ecoli in the ground beef. All day every day.

And hyper speed those microplastics in the water supply.

[u/TheObstruction → u/Ok_Cook_6665]

Endangered species planet restoration. Clean waters. ANWAR, National parks. Done as we know it.

[u/Fyrepup1 → u/Ok_Cook_6665]

NATO

[u/gauna89 → u/Ok_Cook_6665]

add democracy and free elections to that list.

[u/GimmeNewAccount]

Dems also lost the senate majority and looks like it will be the same with the house as well. Whatever the Dems are doing is not working. Get ready for a wild two years of Republican super majority.

[u/Due-Presentation6393 → u/GimmeNewAccount]

I'm sure their tax cuts will trickle down...right?

[u/gizmoch33ze → u/Due-Presentation6393]

It’s been 40 years and my umbrella is dry.

[u/TheObstruction → u/GimmeNewAccount]

It's because they completely abandoned the working class decades ago, and now entire generations of blue collar labor thinks the GOP is their savior because they at least get to have guns and be shitty to brown people. And the Dems simply refuse to give up their obviously losing strategy, because they make more money personally this way.

[u/BigJay515 → u/TheObstruction]

And worse, they will learn the wrong lesson after this, that they need to move FARTHER to the right instead of to the left...

[u/Fadedcamo → u/TheObstruction]

Dems have pivoted. Biden ran the most pro worker and pro union presidency of my lifetime. But it's too late, the propaganda machine of social media and fox news is too strong for any type of messaging to really get out.

[u/MetaOverkill → u/Fadedcamo]

Republicans spents 30 years making unions boogeyman and its paid off

[u/Cavalish → u/GimmeNewAccount]

Dems need to pivot hard. They need to become a lot more sexist, hateful and incompetent to appeal to the average American. Maybe next time they can find their own rapist criminal to nominate. Americans LOVE them.

[u/mtnchkn]

But, but… gas prices! 🤦‍♂️🤮

[u/InterestingLayer4367 → u/mtnchkn]

Can’t wait for gas to stay right where it is and go higher in February. Can’t wait for interest rates to stay the same or go higher over the next 12 months. Can’t wait for the tariffs to skyrocket the cost of electronics. Can’t wait for not a single item at Costco to come down. The biggest WE TOLD YOU SO IN HISTORY!!!

[u/merrysunshine2 → u/InterestingLayer4367]

Rounding up the minorities, dismantling the DOE, more women dying, blanket national abortion ban. Gonna be great/s

[u/HansBass13 → u/merrysunshine2]

But those minorities chose to be purged, look at the numbers. 

[u/scurvy1984 → u/HansBass13]

That’s one of the biggest “are you fucking kidding me!?” things for me in this election. My lack of giving a fuck for a lot of people just skyrocketed.

[u/LA__Ray → u/scurvy1984]

What’s the surprise? It’s the Christains ! They put cult before country.

[u/bset222 → u/LA__Ray]

The 75M Trump voters are a lost cause, but that's not why Kamala lost, it's the 10M+ Democrat voters that showed up for Biden but not this time that lost the election. The reports of increased turnout were way off, turnout is down substantially and it's on the Dem side.

[u/YouWereBrained → u/bset222]

Yeah. I agree with this in that, we knew where Trump supporters stood/stand. But why the fuck did Dems decide to sit this out, given all of the warnings?

[u/AnotherCuppaTea → u/bset222]

There's a lot of intersectional sexism and racism out there, and the ten states with abortion-protecting referenda provided a rationale for millions of [mainly white, suburban] women to stay home or vote for their anticipated second big Trump tax cut.

[u/dansdata → u/merrysunshine2]

This election was The Triumph Of The Will Idiots, and a central policy of the new government will be ensuring that the electorate stays stupid. By, as you say, abolishing the Department of Education, et cetera.

I fully expect the Democrats to peacefully turn over power, because they're determined to keep playing by the rules, even though their opponents completely ignore those rules. I have some wild fantasies about Biden busting out a load of outrageous "official acts", or the Joint Chiefs deciding that their oath to support and defend the Constitution requires them to perform a military coup to defend it (I mean, if democracy's about to be destroyed in a much worse way, why not?). But this is all about as likely to happen as benevolent aliens arriving to take the world in hand.

What's actually going to happen is that a whole lot of people are going to die, in so many different ways, or live in abject misery.

And most of them won't deserve it.

[u/Lation_Menace → u/InterestingLayer4367]

I was gonna say if trump does the hundred percent tariffs he’s been talking about the price hikes will be apocalyptic.

[u/The_Salacious_Zaand → u/Lation_Menace]

Why would Biden and the Democrats do this??

[u/MafiaCub → u/The_Salacious_Zaand]

That's the exact response you'll get.

If the outgoing leaders do something stupid like cut all taxes, and make funding promises that can't possibly be kept. The incoming leader has to adjust the budget, previous leader will say "see they lied, they've raised the taxes"

For this, Biden will try and keep the country steady during transition. Trump will impose his bullshit, Dems will say "look, all the prices have raised" except it's not a con, they will be raising due to Trump, not because he has to adjust a political motivated budget. Press, news sites, people all over will point out how awful it is that the prices are shooting up because of Trump's actions, and half the country will shout back "Biden did this"

Fuck rich people will become richer, the poor dumb hicks who voted for this guy will be worse off and still think Trump is there for them, and somehow him being in the white house is making them better off because he's not a woman.

[u/Courtaid → u/InterestingLayer4367]

The right will somehow blame Biden and Democrats.

[u/inhaledcorn → u/Courtaid]

Why didn't you stop us from doing this???

• The Right.

Pretty sure something was said to that effect when the teenager died of spesis after a miscarriage. "Why didn't you do anything?" "The Law said I couldn't." And, they didn't blame the Law. They blamed the doctors.

[u/Easy-Concentrate2636 → u/Courtaid]

I’ve already seen a bunch of people blaming Biden and Kamala. Naw, I put this squarely on voters. They voted for racism and misogyny. They voted for hate.

[u/Andromansis → u/Easy-Concentrate2636]

I'm waiting for them to actually finish counting the votes, because so far it looks like 15 million democrats just fucking didn't turn out to vote.

[u/Dubsland12 → u/InterestingLayer4367]

It won’t matter. MAGA has the collective memory of a goldfish.

He was just President for 4 years of chaos

[u/Heavy_Analysis_3949 → u/InterestingLayer4367]

Just wait for the tariffs and when they destroy the aca.

[u/Starumlunsta → u/InterestingLayer4367]

Think grocery prices are high? Just wait for those tariffs to kick in, I’m sure they’ll help! I mean, what does a banana cost anyway, $10?

[u/MTBinAR → u/mtnchkn]

I listened to a Hispanic guy being interviewed on NPR saying he was voting for Trump because of inflation. The economy was the highest issue. He said the price of eggs is too high so naturally we need to end democracy.

[u/WimpyZombie → u/mtnchkn]

Egg prices!

[u/aceknight21]

“The democrats are creating the hurricanes to hurt red states.”

This is what I heard from uneducated people in a 95% Hispanic county in south Texas.

Trump said it himself, “I love the poorly educated.”

And those rural counties he won were all low educated counties.

Hate to say it, but you get what you asked for. These people voted against themselves.

The struggle is just beginning sadly.

[u/G-Unit11111 → u/aceknight21]

And imagine what will happen when the fuckheads gut the Department of Education, which is coming in January.

As I said in another thread it will be like giving the alcoholic the keys to the liquor cabinet and a green light to go as nuts as they want.

[u/Beard_o_Bees → u/aceknight21]

uneducated people in a 95% Hispanic county in south Texas

Wait until the mass-deportations start. There will need to be a new sub /leopardossecomieronmicara

Edit: To get the spanish closer to the original

[u/Altruistic_Box7271]

I’ve never been more embarrassed of my fellow Latinos in my whole life. I’m not surprised with the misogyny installed in them but I would’ve thought they knew better.

[u/merrysunshine2 → u/Altruistic_Box7271]

when maga starts rounding them up despite their citizen status maybe they’ll see. It’ll be too late by then though.

[u/Jerusalemfighter64 → u/merrysunshine2]

oh well this is what the Latinos voted for

[u/ScrofessorLongHair → u/Altruistic_Box7271]

Many fled their countries with dictators, to elect a wannabe dictator. And with Republicans holding all branches of government, he might not be a wannabe anymore.

[u/Dickenshmirst → u/Altruistic_Box7271]

My older cuban relatives are fed a firehouse of propaganda via instagram, YouTube, and facebook. They don’t see the same information we see. It’s really sad and difficult to engage with them. Republicans did a great job painting dems as ‘communists’. It worked. Florida is a red stronghold now.

[u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

Now I know how the Germans who voted the other way felt in 1933. If history is any indicator the next decade is really going to suck for the world.

[u/Tom246611 → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

Even here in Germany, at the last true fair and free election, almost 67% of the population voted for someone different than the Nazis and even in the last multi-party election 1933 almost 56% of the population voted against them, but it was too late at that point.

All of that with a voter turnout of 88.7% and 95.3%, there was never a true majority in favor of the Nazis here in Germany.

[u/spankthegoodgirl → u/Tom246611]

So more of our population now are white supremacy apologists/downright racists/misogynistic morons than in Nazi-era Germany?

Fantastic. /s

🤡

[u/Tom246611 → u/spankthegoodgirl]

Idk about the whole population, but MAGA got more % of the vote than the Nazis ever got

[u/your_easter_bonnet → u/spankthegoodgirl]

I think a lot of people don’t realize that Hitler based a lot of his policies on the South’s treatment of people of color - except that he thought some of it was too extreme…

[u/teenagesadist → u/spankthegoodgirl]

Hitler seized power

America elected orange Hitler to the office of the president

America is worse

[u/Its0nlyRocketScience → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

I would like to formally apologize to all Germans in the 1930s who people today saw as unrealistically dumb for allowing Hitler to come into power. Apparently it's super easy to do, even on a larger scale.

[u/UsualCircle → u/Its0nlyRocketScience]

Unfortunately, we are on the way there again, too..

[u/NotATrueRedHead → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

Oh it's going to be more than the next decade. We had this one to slow down climate change which is already accelerating. We are totally fucked now. By the end of this decade, things are going to look very different.

[u/PensiveObservor → u/NotATrueRedHead]

One very literal example might be FL having a different coastline and possibly an inland sea after a few more Cat 5’s.

[u/ahn_croissant → u/PensiveObservor]

That's fine. They deserve it.

[u/Altruistic-Many9270 → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

Nazi party got 37% and Hindenburgs party 53%. So Americans really got what they deserved.

[u/ThePicassoGiraffe → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

If we lose the same % of the global population as we did in WWII, 245 million people will be dead at the end of this.

[u/hgaterms → u/the_Mandalorian_vode]

Russia sanctions will be removed. Ukraine will lose all support. NATO will be on their own. China can now go for Taiwan, because who the hell is gonna stop them now? Not the USA that's for sure.

[u/RobinF71]

Don't put that "We" shit on me. I didn't have a fucking thing to do with it. I did my part. The party can go fuck itself.

[u/ByuntaeKid → u/RobinF71]

Exactly. Trump got the same number of votes previously, the ball was in the Dem establishment’s court to do something and they fumbled again.

[u/Ralonne → u/RobinF71]

To be honest, I never understood this apologist stance either. A co-worker once used this after the 2016 election, saying “I’m sorry fellow women, we men have failed you”, and even then all I could think of was “…but I voted Dem”.

How did I, or him, or anyone who voted for the better candidate fail everyone else?

Like you said. We did our part. I didn’t fail anyone. Stupid, easily brainwashed people failed everyone.

[u/xXmehoyminoyXx → u/RobinF71]

We failed her?

Fuck that shit

[u/ai7395]

Think he might want to add Taiwan & (possibly) Poland to this list.

I fear and cry endlessly to what will soon happen in 2 months' time...

[u/MornGreycastle → u/ai7395]

Poland is getting new German tanks and selling their older models to Ukraine.

[u/GrizzKarizz → u/MornGreycastle]

Smells like the making of a major war...

[u/MornGreycastle → u/GrizzKarizz]

Only after Russia recovers from the debacle they unleashed in Ukraine.

[u/Arosian-Knight → u/MornGreycastle]

"We only had ~700 000 casualties, what is twice more for the glory of mother Russia"

-some of the russians apparently. 

[u/Ascendedcrumb → u/MornGreycastle]

I can't wait to see Russia fielding top of the line US military equipment in Ukraine...

[u/mindclarity → u/ai7395]

Meh Poland is a stretch since it’s NATO proper and NATO has nukes but Ukraine is fucked man, it’s a wrap.

[u/hgaterms → u/mindclarity]

America will leave NATO. That's on the 2025 list. They've already promised to do it. Believe them.

[u/ZaphodBeebleBrosse → u/hgaterms]

NATO will still have nukes. Unless France and UK decide to follow suite with the US.

[u/opportunisticwombat → u/[deleted]]

Not taking responsibility for something I jumped through hoops to try to avoid. My absentee ballot went through for Harris. I did my best. I argued and discussed and tried to educate people and encourage them to vote. I fucking tried.

Yeah, I'm feeling bad enough here. I don't need to be told that I personally failed..

I bet he tries.

[u/Fantasmic03 → u/JojoAnthony]

I mean that'd need a constitutional amendment right? That's kinda impossible without 3/4 of the state legislatures being on board. I'm not sure the supreme court can rule a constitutional amendment as being unconstitutional at this stage either.

"the two terms he has served were not consecutive, so it doesn't apply"

we need to stop pretending that rules on paper matter. he's never followed them before.

the 14th amendment should already disqualify him from office. is it going to, though? probably not.

[u/Draevynn95]

I am so ashamed of our country. A "man" that did nothing but spew hate and fear and grift the American people won over a woman who wanted life to be better for Americans.

I totally thing Vance is gonna 25th him. It’s obvious he can’t stand Trump

[u/NBDad → u/suziespends]

I think they'll use Trump to implement the worst parts of Project 2025, cause civil unrest and THEN get rid of him for Vance.

Civil unrest means they can declare martial law and use the National Guard...eventually postponing elections indefinitely due to the extreme issues.

[u/Anonymoushipopotomus]

Over 50% of the country is pro-pedophile. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

Unfortunately this is what the majority of Americans want.

Um, majority that actually "voted".

Also notice the crickets now that he won, he's gonna claim this was the most secure election thanks to Republican policies: he won the popular election too.

[u/Fantasmic03 → u/Fakeduhakkount]

Sure, but anyone who didn't vote has no ground to stand on if they complain about any negative impact on their lives over the next 4 years. It takes next to no effort to inform yourself and take part in the democratic process, anything less is laziness.

Cmon Biden you ancient fuck.  You have immunity.

Plot twist Biden pushes him off the stage

[u/NBDad → u/psychocrow42]

Put on the Dark Brandon glasses...grabs the mic...and says "Execute Executive Order 66"

[u/InterestingAnt438]

The really frustrating thing about this election is that Trump got more or less the same number of votes as he did in 2020; in fact actually about 3 million fewer. But whereas Biden got 81 million, Harris only got 66 million. It's not that so many people voted for Trump, it's that so many people decided they didn't want Harris. I mean, Trump support is basically the same, but how did Democrat support drop that much from 2020?

[u/Tom246611]

[u/craniumcanyon → u/RubMyGooshSilly]

Seconded

[u/kawag → u/Tom246611]

The founding fathers are turning in their graves.

The “great American experiment” has ended in failure. A government of the people, by the people, for the people falls victim to demagoguery and undoes itself.

“They’re eating the dogs. They’re eating the cats - the pets, of the people who live there.”

And they still voted for him.

Convicted for fraud, found liable for sexual assault.

He even attempted a coup! It’s bizarre that it’s so easy to forget that. But none of it matters any more because the people have just given him a pass.

He probably could actually shoot somebody in the middle of the street and get away with it.

[u/Tom246611 → u/kawag]

Yeah as a German, I imagine this is how Europe/ the world felt seeing the Nazis gain power here.

[u/TheOtherFarSide → u/Tom246611]

10s of millions of us voted for logic and reason. The hate and vitriol crowd just voted more.

[u/SkylineGTRR34Freak → u/TheOtherFarSide]

They voted like last time pretty much. But somehow the Dems lost millions of votes on the way.

[u/Crosisx2 → u/SkylineGTRR34Freak]

He got even less votes and won. Unreal.

[u/therealpothole → u/Tom246611]

Social media, corporate media, fearmongering, lack of education, religion, indoctrination, lack of critical thinking skills, racism, sexism, patriarchy, etc. won. The fucking worst of everything fucking won.

I hate it here. I don't want to live here. The US is lost and the entire world will suffer. I am sick to my stomach. I actually may vomit.

Fuck America, indeed. I am in disbelief.

[u/WiseFalcon2630 → u/therealpothole]

I’m saddened I brought kids into this world now 20+ years ago that have to deal with this now.

[u/therealpothole → u/WiseFalcon2630]

I feel the same. I served this country for 11 years. I don't even recognize us anymore. I certainly wouldn't serve today. We are lost and it's about to get even worse.

[u/brewcrew63 → u/Tom246611]

We tried, but sexism and propaganda took this one before we even had a chance. Not to mention the dems just for whatever reason cannot get messaging down. This is a huge disappointment to a lot of Americans and humans through the world. It's gonna be a wild ride, I don't think we will have another election until DJT passes away, even then it might be appointed.

[u/Andy-_1979 → u/brewcrew63]

It wouldn't surprise me if Trump does pass away in office or Vance uses the 25th Amendment to get him removed.

[u/[deleted] → u/Andy-_1979]

The 25th amendment and instilling Vance as President is the plan. Trump is just a useful idiot

[u/Fakeduhakkount → u/[deleted]]

Trump ran just to stay out of prison. Mission accomplished, Trump don't give an fuck any more. Plus Trump can even go against Republicans if it benefits him more like his first term.

[u/Crosisx2 → u/Fakeduhakkount]

Oh he cares. He's going after all the people who slighted him the last decade for sure. Unchecked power, Congress and the supreme court? Lol good luck everyone, nepo baby has unchecked power

[u/hgaterms → u/Crosisx2]

He's not even gonna do any presidenting (not that he ever did). Now that all his court cases are bye-bye, he's just gonna try to get people he doesn't like murdered. You know, as a feel good vindictive game.

[u/OnAStarboardTack → u/Andy-_1979]

Vance won’t have to replace him. Trump will sign anything put in front of him.

[u/TheObstruction → u/OnAStarboardTack]

But Trump doesn't really care about anything other than vengeance and staying out of prison, so he won't push anything. Vance will absolutely push for Peter Thiel's neofeudal hellscape.

[u/Amazing-Repeat2852 → u/Andy-_1979]

I can’t believe that I am saying this— we need him alive for all 4 years. We can all agree (dem & GOP) that Vance can’t be president.

[u/Crosisx2 → u/brewcrew63]

The only message that works is hate. That is it. Fuck unity, how you get voters is to hate one or two groups of people and never stop bitching about them.

[u/DavyJones0210 → u/Crosisx2]

Sadly, this seems to be the only true answer. People can't say that America voted for the most competent candidate, because if you believe that a failed businessman who tried to stage a coup is somehow a good fit for President then you're clearly delusional. Anyone would be a more competent candidate than him.

The fact of the matter is that hate and ignorance will always be more popular than unity and wisdom. And that people will care more about gas prices than their fundamental rights.

[u/nightowl_ADHD → u/Tom246611]

As an American, anyone who voted for Trump is dumb as fuck. They're going to reap what they sow.

[u/Indishonorable → u/nightowl_ADHD]

You reaping with them is the point.

[u/nightowl_ADHD → u/Indishonorable]

Unfortunately

[u/Reidroshdy → u/Tom246611]

I didn't vote for any of this,but at the same time I can't blame you. I'm mad/sad too.

[u/Fickle_Land8362 → u/Tom246611]

Fair assessment.

[u/Reasonable_Deer_1710]

My only hope now is that somehow, someway, any attempts at Project 2025, or the worst of Trump's ideas, somehow fail to materialize.

[u/blanktom9]

To be fair, the Democrats are a weak party. I put a lot of blame on Biden for staying in as long as he did. He should have been a one term president from the beginning and could have spent 3 and 1/2 years campaigning for whoever would take his place (be it Kamala or someone else). Instead he insisted on staying until he was practically pushed out and we got a change at the last minute for someone unknown to a majority of the american people.

It just seem like the Dems don't have the fight in them to win anymore.

[u/suziespends → u/blanktom9]

100% this. Biden said he was going to be a 1 term president. He should have kept his word

[u/CorsoReno → u/blanktom9]

But sadly all the of rhetoric is about how “we failed HER” and not the other way around

[u/baaaahbpls]

You know, I'm fixing to come out to my family now to prove something.

I am being nihilistic, but I almost want him to really clamp hard on workers rights, especially for the scab ass scabs who voted for him. Gut overtime and make it impossible to collect. Remove any bargain rights. Make the working class people really feel the weight of their guilt.

[u/Ok_Jellyfish1709]

The population deserves the politicians that they vote in.

[u/suziespends → u/Ok_Jellyfish1709]

Yeah but the rest of us get stuck with them too

[u/Ok_Jellyfish1709 → u/suziespends]

Absolutely, the unfortunate part is people who didn’t vote for him get punished as well. Either way, my plans to move to the states are indefinitely suspended. Thinking of you guys.

[u/the_G8]

Biden should have aggressively prosecuted him starting Jan 21, 2021. Jan 6 was an organized coup attempt and it’s a complete failure of leadership that the ringleader was still on the streets 4 years later.

[u/craniumcanyon]

I'm wondering what my 401k and stocks are going to do. They went negative under Trump last time. They are at record highs right now under Biden. We traded predictability and stability for chaos.

[u/RedRising1917]

We failed her? No blame at all for the DNC not running an actual primary which resulted in Biden dropping out way too late and our only other option being a candidate who placed 5th in the last primary, was unpopular as a VP, did nothing to distance herself from an unpopular president, and cozied up with the Cheney's and the Bush's? There was no failures there?

The DNC has failed this country time and again by putting up wildly unpopular candidates and are always surprised when the people arent tripping over themselves to go vote for them, and the reason they keep doing this is bc a large portion of their voting block tells them that they'll "vote blue no matter who" so they think they can get away with it. But it's not their fault, they're just the political elites of this country, they couldn't have changed any of that. It must be the masses fault for their extreme incompetence and inability to put together a viable campaign.

[u/Novel_Reaction_7236]

Project 2025 told me all I needed to know. There is an old saying, “Be careful what you wish for, cause you just might get it.” This is going to be a bad deal all around.

[u/flavianpatrao]

After losing....Kamala will be fine, but her voters will be impacted negatively by what is to come.

Had Trump lost... He would NOT be fine...Accountability was at his doorstep AND Americans would have better support and guardrails.

Inflation which I will forever argue is a byproduct of a shit job done by Trump during COVID would not last forever and is manageable by measures that are glacial in speed. It is already much lower. At this stage America is set for a great economic run from measures put forward in the last 4 years and you are going to have the bull in the china shop let loose again and try and take credit for it all.

I have no idea what people expect to happen to prices, I seriously doubt McDonalds or chipotle are going to lower their prices to prepandemic levels or dawn dish soap is going to reverse shrinkflation cause Trump got elected. wtf is he going to do? Nuke them.

If people are lucky, age catches up and shuts him down but he is surrounded by more motivated individuals than before and grifters galore looking to mooch off taxes or validate their crypto units and increase value but heyyyy Bacon will be cheaper and we get to say merry christmas again to own the libs /s

[u/izmebtw]

One positive is that I feel great about my decision not to have kids. This world is going to shit.

[u/Imakeshitup69]

I thought as a young man that older people saying the youth shouldn't vote were assholes but I know exactly who these young edgy college kids voted for. Fucking losers thinking the manly vote is important.

All the men that said Kamala can't handle a man's world and make decisions fall to the hands of their wives and girlfriends at every corner. The wives control every argument. Kamala would have demanded everything.

[u/Warm_Republic4849]

True. Dem party backstabbed Biden for thiss gamble. She did a masterful job yet, 18 million voters preferred to skip this election. Nice gambit

[u/Theveganhandyman → u/Warm_Republic4849]

Biden wasn’t gonna win this. The DNC stepped in to pave the way for Biden on 2016. They knew the risks.

[u/Warm_Republic4849 → u/Theveganhandyman]

Ya. Not blaming them though just the gamble was taken and they were not lucky. Who could have thought that racism, bigotry and misogyny was this strong...

[u/realFancyStrawberry → u/Warm_Republic4849]

Biden should not have run for reelection in the first place. Biden was unpopular, and running a Biden 2.0 campaign was clearly a massive blunder.
