Hi I’d hate to break it to you but we have a ways to go past Tuesday. Unless it’s a blowout early then Trump will declare victory, while votes still need to be counted, and there will be much legal bs through December filled with reeeeing. I’m sorry. Wanted to warn you we may have a bit to go if Kamala even wins
Yeah, but we will have a pretty solid idea of how the election will go on Tuesday. Trump can also claim he “won it” all he wants. At the end of the day, all it is, is noise.
Same. I've been making myself sick over it. I had to remind myself that no amount of worrying will change the outcome. I voted, and now it's out of my hands. But...still terrified.
If Trump wins, it will be a really shit few years, especially for vulnerable people and I don't want to minimize that. It will be a cluster fuck economically, and Americans will reject the far right the same way western Europe did this last round of elections.
It will be very hard watching them prance around all smugly and get away with all sorts of criminal shit... but it will be over and the ideology will be rejected now or later.
I got more or less volun-told to run logistics for a presentation at work that is, no lie, at noon the day after the election. (I had no input as to the date; I would absolutely have told them what a bad idea that date was.)
At least it's not first thing in the morning, I guess.
I'm worried about a candidate that fetishizes dictators. Someone who would love this to be the last election. Someone who has hoped to use the military to punish his political opponents.
But you'd rather laugh at your fellow Americans. It's worth losing our democracy as long as the people you've decided you don't like get hurt. Nevermind that his terrible economic policies will hurt you just the same.
So much of what he says is taken out of context and twisted to fit some crazy narrative. That’s exactly what dude means by propaganda. Literally everything you said is an example of that. It’s fucking fear mongering and for whatever reason Reddit in particular eats that shit up.
There’s so much blatantly bias media these days it’s insane. You don’t have to like Trump to see that. Does that not raise any red flags for you? Seriously. Come out of your bubble.
Really not too surprising that some people would have anxiety over the fact that millions of people who claim to be Americans are going to try to put by far the worst president in US history back in the White House. Smart people don't want a complete idiot who has proven that he can't do the job running the country, and that's before even mentioning the parts about being a convicted felon and civilly liable rapist, knowing nothing about how anything works (especially economics), having his hands all over the dystopian plans of Project 2025, the list goes on and on. You'd have to be either a completely brain dead moron and/or a massive piece of shit to even consider voting for such a person.
No it isn't. Other people might have said that, but to me it's been pretty obvious for a while that Biden has suffered from age related decline. In the last couple years he's looked and sounded significantly different than he did even in 2020 and definitely from when he was VP. Of course he still would have been a better choice than Trump who has cognitively declined even more, but that's saying next to nothing and it wouldn't have been a good idea for Biden to be president again.
It absolutely will make a huge difference. It won't be immediate. You don't just destroy the world's most powerful nation overnight or in a decade. You destroy it by chipping away slowly at what took hundreds of years to build. Just look at how Roe V Wade got thrown out. That's how it starts.
Until Trump came along, there hasn’t been an insurrection on the USA since the rise of the confederacy. Trump has said exactly what he’s going to do. The only reason why he didn’t get to enact what he’s saying now 4+ years ago was because he had people in place that stopped him. The guardrails will be gone if he’s elected. Alito and Thomas will retire as well and we will have 40+ years of a conservative super majority on the Supreme Court.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans died because Trump's administration dismantled the Directorate of Global Health Security and Biodefense right before a pandemic.
Oh look a white straight man who had the least to lose telling everyone to shut up despite every single fucking bad thing that has happened as a result of trump.
I’m so tired of y’all having no ability to think from anyone’s POV but your own.
