Like. Did people forget how insane everyday was when he was President? Like you never knew what was gonna happen he was always wanting the attention.

I just hope if he loses, it’s by a wide margin so there’s no challenge. Just decisive victory and we can all move on….

as an european, i am watching in absolute shock. i really dont understand how HALF the USA can still vote for this Chicken Nugget of a person.

As a person from Europe, who's is living next to Ukraine, who's girlfriend is ukranian, who's many friends are Ukrainian, who's many friends died due to that terrorist state: If you were eligible to vote in the US and didn't, fuck you.

Any vote that didn't go to Kamala, is a vote for fascism, a vote to accelerate and finish the genocide of palestine, a vote to cease support for Ukraine and a vote to help terrorists in ruzzia. If you support any of that, Fuck. You.

But I know my ukranian brothers, they will not surrender. Even if you selfish American pricks don't support them. They will fight until they can't fight anymore, and then they will still fight.

Unlike you, they are brave. They are heroes. They know whats fucking right.

And frankly, for all terrible things coming to the US, if you didnt vote, you deserve them all.

If you are from the LGBTQ+ community, not white or a woman, and you didn't vote, you have just commited suicide.

I will still support Ukraine, financially. Its not much but I don't care. And if its not enough and the worst comes, I am ready to die to save my brothers, just like my people did in the past.

I am willing to do my part, if you didn't vote, you didnt. So one, last fuck you.

NYT is calling it for Trump. America as we know it, may be over.

The war in Ukraine is about to end, with Russia probably getting everything they want, NATO might disband, China likely takes Taiwan, 100 years of authoritarianism and tyranny may be upon us after Trump truly consolidates powers, and nukes the Federal government.

I fucking wish I was being hyperbolic.

If the Dems win and they don't put a boot on the neck of this fascist movement it will take over eventually.

So as far as I understand it as of now it's pretty much decided early with almost no chance of Harris making it.

So there you are. You're right. I was right. We all were.

We hoped for sanity.

But it seems a massive criminal openly stating he will run a dictatorship has been voluntarily elected.

People around the world already live in terror of what USA government may do to them

And the thing is: Trump is not a clever man. In fact, he's blantantly, obviously, ferociously stupid. He didn't just appear out of nowhere. The rest of us have been watching this dog eat grass for the last 50 years.

I wonder if those folks who cast a protest vote for Jill Stein will be sleeping soundly tonight... I sure hope not. I hope they're fucking terrified.

Hahahahhahahaha you think Trump is the last guy to feel threatened by? The dude was just the starter. There's a whole movement now with tons of corrupt politicians who will try to get a shot at the presidency. I'm thinking about the Florida governor for example.

I'm seeing a lot of "democracy is going to die" posts.. But... I hate to break it to you:

America is not a democracy. And if somehow it is a democracy, then it's an incredibly bad one. It's the least democratic democracy in the Western world.

The two party system, the first past the post voting system, the indirect method of counting votes, lobbying, gerrymandering, the electoral collage. Systems to try and manipulate what a vote means. Systems that try to remove as much democracy from democracy as possible, while still being able to keep up some mock appearance.

Your whole country is fucked and backwards from the very beginning, and that wouldn't be so bad. But if America does something we all have to suffer for it!

People outside the US have always been terrified of what the US president might do. Imagine if China had military bases all over the world.

Trump and team don't need to win the election. They just need to make it tainted with enough irregularities that it forms the basis for the entire thing to be called into question. Even if that evidence is created by them. And this time they're more prepared for that outcome. They've had years to work on his scenario.

The court cases and investigations will go on for years.

Doesn't need to win a vote at all.

So this is how a democracy dies...it votes for its own death.

The best part will be if he wins, those in power will just sit around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for fascism to take over on Jan. 20th.

EDIT: It's thumbs up their butts time for 2 and a half months.

If Trump loses there are the next two months of wondering how many people will die around the inauguration, then the next two years of wondering what the project 2027 people are going to do, then...

The only way to stop this is to fix the US system. Fix the courts. Fix the elections. Fix gerrymandering. Fix the right wing control of the media. Fix the lies from the "news".

Also, vote if you haven't yet.

Me: unsubbing every single politics community

Showerthoughts:

I like your optimism but I think he was just the test run.

Honestly, I doubt it. Even if he loses, he's still going to be spewing his mouth diarrhea nonstop and his cult will still believe the shit he says. Also, I'm thinking the Republican party will continue his shit. He created a new Republican party. They'll keep pushing candidates who will act and do shit like him since he's been very successful in fooling his base.
