Voted for Harris out of usual attempted harm reduction because this place is irreparably destroyed since Reagan, but let's not kid ourselves, Donald Trump represents the United States as it is perfectly.

Proudly ignorant, proudly greedy, proudly gluttonous, obese, egotistical, explicitly judges others on net worth, perpetually drunk on cruelty and schaudenfreude, obsessed with image and his own ego score, demands loyalty and servitude while providing none aka a devout capitalist, obsessed with economic metastasis at literally any human and societal cost, proudly racist while still insisting he's not, the embodiment of what Americans disgustingly praise: a hyperindividualist who revels in blaming people not born to wealth for their suffering and insists this is a meritocracy after a lifetime of spending daddy's money.

Donald Trump is like the zeitgeist of the modern United States somehow took tangible human form. You can try to argue we don't deserve him, or that we have the potential to be a better society than one that would elect him, but you can't argue he represents who and what a loathsome society we are. A monument of all our sins.

He's more American as apple pie or baseball ever was, and he's at least as American as our current national pastimes of mass shootings and of course disgusting hyper-consumption.

That's why he illicits such a strong response in both directions. Whether you are repulsed or see your own necrotic heart in him, He is an accurate mirror of the practiced culture of The United States of America.

You had 4 years. 4 years.

Congratulations to the American people, for having the guts to elect a crazy criminal malignant narcissist idiot for president.
I doubt many places would have the guts to do that.
To be entirely honest, this makes me doubt we will make it as a species.

THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU

Everything republicans do is based in fear, spite, and greed.

They fear brown people and immigrants, so they deport them, only to bring them back in as indentured servants, to spite the poor people that refuse to work for less than the minimum wage, to personally enrich themselves.

Greed, Spite, Fear.

If they had been born German in the early 1900's, they wouldn't just be nazis, they'd be enthusiastic nazis.

They say the US justice system moves slowly, but this is incredibly slow. I'm not an American, but if I was I would be very disappointed.

I actually believed this, I think the Supreme Court was actually waiting to see if Trump was going to be re-elected or not.

If he wasn't they'd have played the "You have outlived your usefulness" card and thrown him to the wolves.

Since he won, well... "You gotta respect the office"

For the record, normally I agree with "Even if you hate the guy, you have to respect the office.", well, in better days I did.

Now, if the person in question shows clear contempt for the office, you do not have to do any such thing.

When brains and ballots fail, bullets are the last line of exacting justice.

Well, I think we can all agree that Trump and the Republican party have certainly learned from all this and will in no way attempt to hold power if they lose another election.

I also predict that the Republican party will coincidentally lose fewer elections from now on.

Literally above the law.

Well that sucks. Harris winning would have been nice.

Is there a law in this country or is it everything a fucking popularity contest? USA is just a crazy distopian tv-show at this point.

Can they impeach him once he's in office?

If the dems manage to take back congress in 2 years I wouldn't be surprised if he's bogged down in impeachment proceedings for the rest of his term.

Also out of interest, can private citizens take forward the prosecution? The justice department is being stopped for political reasons but is there anything to stop a private citizens group or organisation taking forward the prosecution based on the evidence noted in the report?

Impeach and arraign.

It would be amazing for there to be a part of Canada with a decent climate. The awful climate is the main reason I can't see myself moving to Canada.
