I have to admit, my corner of tumblr seems remarkably passive about this past week. No freaking out, no mad panic, no "it's the end of the world"
Just "meh" and "so lets move on and do what we need to do"
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I was 100% with you and thought W. Bush was a worse president than Trump, all the way up until January 6. All the ramifications of it are still playing out so it remains to be seen which is worse.
Dubbya basically set in motion all the problems we face today in his failed response to 9/11 - instability and refugees from the middle east and 'drill baby drill' environmental catastrophe. We're still suffering the consequences.
Trump and anti-democracy and January 6 - the reprocussions are still playing out. His loss on Tuesday could have done a lot to right the wrongs and stop the bleeding. But now they're going to be supercharged and the most important thing we can do is ensure that a fair vote can happen in 2026 and 2028. If that doesn't happen we're lost, and the deck will be heavily stacked against us.
