The unfortunate truth is that a Trump win is relevant to our long term survival as a species. He's likely to push anti-pollution deregulation, prioritize fossil fuels, refuse to uphold international agreements on climate change policy, etc. That's on top of the damage he will do to international trade, charitable efforts, world health, immigration, and war. He is far from the only problem in all of those areas, but unfortunately he's likely to be involved with just about all of it, and improve none of it. As an American, I'm so so sorry.

Long-term fate was sealed with this election.

Short-term profit year over year for the shareholders always wins.

Sadly, a few protests now is nothing in comparison if Harris would have won. The Republican party already had preemptive lawsuits to challenge the election results before election day and the results would have been contended for months. There was a high likelihood of a repeat of Jan. 6th 2021 on Jan. 6th 2025 from right wing milita groups.

Americans would rather bully the entire world than participate in it apparently. We're stuck with this now. The Republican party is back from the dead.

People protesting in Seattle or NYC are, rest assured, taking state sanctioned violence into account. SPD/NYPD are a great way to train a culture in how to mitigate absolute bastards.

If the people had rallied far more before the election, it could have convinced enough ignorant fence sitters. Now we have people reacting to damage already done when the next chance to fix it is two years away.

To be fair, I imagine most of these people voted.

"Huh. I threw away my vote and now they're talking about implementing Project 2025 during Trump's revenge administration! Weird..."

I think Trump's strategy was "I'm going to sound so crazy every Democrat will assume I'll lose and don't bother voting".

And it worked.

TWICE

Our hate of fascism led us to put Hitler in a corner so dark he took his own life because the commies we hated so much would've done so much worse to him like Mussolini. I think you have misrepresented our hatred of commies, since this is just one part of our history; we work with the commies whenever it's convenient and then when it's peaceful we make a pissing contest for the sake of flexing on one another like petty stepbrothers. Hate is a big part of our history, yes, but it's ignorant to think of this as the whole face of America.

"No but see I withheld my vote for Kamala because I don't feel she earned it"

Being persnickety with people putting their lives out there in protest is such a DNC move. Bet you bitched about the college gaza protests. If your old enough you would of been bitching about civil rights and Vietnam war protests too.

I want a way to see how my vote counted.

I don't trust the fact that 3rd party traitor supporters have had their hands on our voting machines.

It’s a shame people are falling for that trap. Especially after all the shit we all had to hear about it for the past 4 years.
