politics

• A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it's all talks,
• when he talks about making the economy better, it's all in good faith,
• all the "necessary evil" can be undone in the next election cycle,
• and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.

Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.

They've been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.

Lots. I don't feel so good Mr stark.

Thanks for the new expletive.

what the nazi fuck, bro?

Have crash it to get the growth duh!

/s but I legit thinks that's what is going to happen.

57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.

And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.

Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.

Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don't understand how it's so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it's because of the major cities.

Don't forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.

Just over half of those who voted said yes, there's still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it's going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We'll suffer, but then again we're already going to be.

They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.

I mean Hitler made a similar speech announcing the night of the long knives.

If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this. In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence – which depends on its internal order and security – cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone! And let it be known for all time to come that if anyone raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.

You mean those pro-Stein accounts that won't post another peep now?

Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)

NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.

I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.

It's honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that's been oppressing them their whole lives. It's amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that've been oppressing you for centuries? It'd be less depressing and more funny if it wasn't for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.

Says the war dodging, low IQ (the true low IQ individual), balding denier, sexual assaulting, multi-time felon.

Trump is like 1985’s alternate timeline Biff Tannen only worse because he’s real.

And women, and poor people, and journalists
