That's a nice red herring. I can't think of a single person I ever heard say that. Oh, maybe those people exist somewhere, but zero in my life, including what I've seen on social media. Zero.
Isn't that amazing?

I'm not blaming any race, ethnicity, or culture. I'm blaming people who voted for Trump and people who didn't vote. I'll be getting T-shirts made that say, "Don't blame me. I didn't vote for the orange shitbag douche!" On the other hand, I live in a red state that went to Trump. I can't help to think that since I don't live in a battleground state, did my vote actually count or help since we still have the antiquated electoral college in play. I just hope we aren't as f#cked as I think we are.
Our Dutch public broadcasting did a piece of how small the group that actually impact the selection actually is. It's so mindboggingly small for a country which such an idiocratically large, worldwide impact.
A little over 30.000 Americans deciding the impact for the whole world (whose sheer reach I absolutely hate) was where they ended up on.

In the Netherlands, a vote of mine and 69.000 others on one specific person means they're in the (Dutch equivalent of the) House. This happens quite a lot more often than one would expect.

Nope!
Those people are responsible for the next administration (republicans) killing everyone in Gaza and Lebanon. And they just voted to fuck Taiwan & Hong Kong. You voted for death, congratulations.
Both the Republican and Democrat candidate were and are in favor of violence in various places around the globe. Either person was a vote for death.
Actually, it's very hard not to vote for death, because when you have wars that other people are fighting in other countries, you can't just snap your fingers and have the death magically disappear. It just doesn't work that way. That's not to say that the president has no power, but the president certainly doesn't have the power to guarantee that the death stops now.
Now if you want to make a statistical argument that Trump is likely to lead to more death than Harris, go for it. And maybe you can do a good job with that, but you're starting off by trying to argue about speculative future death compared with actual past death. If you're into statistics, I highly encourage you to crunch the numbers and then post your data here.
Taiwan & Hong Kong
And Ukraine
plus females, LGBTQ+ and every child that dies from a childhood disease in the USA.
And atheists, Muslims, Jews, any non Christians really.
Americans forgot about Ukraine long ago
Not true, I just left it out as an oversight. Слава Україні!

They're all gonna evaporate into nothing. In fact they've already started to go. Some other pressing Internet topic will be the next topic du jour in the Moscow time zone.
You're talking into the wind.
Russian FSB agents who built strong fake online profiles to sow disorder are all shaking hands and celebrating now
Ending international support for Ukraine is still a priority, so keep an eye on any issues related to Europe and movements that opposed Russia's expansionist policies.
I mean it will probably begin with Trump halting us military aid to Ukraine and then immediately and forcibly setting up a trade route to purchase Russian natural resources at a dollar for a dime. And gas prices will drop in the US for a bit. And all Trump supporters, will go “see.” Because they are incredibly myopic and selfish. And then Trump will quickly drop out of nato because fascist natural resources are good so we join some axis powers. And at that point we might civil war and Balkanize. Or who knows. Whatever it is, the future level of human death and suffering has just massively increased.
I still have some hope for Ukraine. The military–industrial complex has to be more powerful than Trump and it will want the weapon shipments to go on.
Everybody has to lie in that bed, including people who didn't vote because they don't live in the US. Congratulations, guys, you did it.
The good news is that last time it pushed the world to try and distance itself from the USA and that will probably make then lose influence even more.
The alternatives don't exactly look great, though. Geostrategically this is a massive win for Russia and China.

Not a big Arab population in GA or PA. Let's not blame MI and WI for the DNC running a second Biden term until the final hour and ratcheting right on everything.
Not American, and I don’t think the democrats are as bad as republicans, but pretty sure that this bed was made by the people who simply wouldn’t take genocide out of their platform.
