So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show

Regarding Elon, it's even better than that: he's probably getting a cabinet post. Say goodbye to the free and open internet where people are mean to him and daddy Trump. Goodbye encryption, and the "unauthorized" websites/web services. Hello tracking, dynamic pricing, and compulsive service use designed to drain your wallet.

Americans chose fuck around, and now we get to find out.

The entire rest of the world needs to be on watch, trump is a potential threat to other countries

What is so fucked that the US isn't an anomaly. Authoritarianism has been on the rise since the 90s and we don't really have any more true democracies. The crazy right-wing jackasses that people back in 2000 and 2005 thought were just kooks and nutjobs are now 100% mainstream and they're taking over their respective countries... We are not in a good place.

I'd love to leave, but it isn't feasible for me. I'm absolutely terrified and have no way out.

trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.

I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.

I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.

Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.

Your state just voted to keep slavery btw.

[–] taiyang 3 points 12 hours ago

I heard. We weren't immune to the low turn out, and if anything we had a lot more protest votes since we're a "safe blue" state. Actually I'm much more concerned about how it impacts some house races. We might be a bit screwed, and lazy Californians might be why.

4 more years? Nah. 6 months before they turf him.

This'll be a Vance presidency.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

To what end? He'll do what billionaires and the project 2025 ghouls want him to anyways. He doesn't need to be turfed. They want to keep him there soaking up all the media attention and hate while they do their evil shit in the dark.

I can't feel as bad as I once did about mass shootings anymore. It's what we asked for.

I really wished what little labor protections we had could have lasted my lifetime.

Our embassy would be calling for our citizens to leave USA now if not the pesky international relations.
