No shit I’m tired of the post-mortem quarterbacking. There’s always one weird trick that you can point to, everyone wants an easy reason why this happened.

Well, I have one. america is a fascist country. Apparently we just decided to forgo the plausible deniability.

no, not really, not in comparison anyway. I'm no dem fan but when given the option to shoot myself in the head vs. taking a tylenol for a headache, I don't have to think real hard about that one.

again, given the choice between a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators; and a minority woman with an annoying laugh, folks thought it was worth either pulling the lever for the fascist or just letting the fascist take power.

fuck kamala, fuck biden, but we could work with them, we could put pressure on them. hell, we got biden to drop out. good luck pressuring donald fucking trump to do anything that isn't entirely self-serving.

turnip won because more people voted for him than kamala. more people in this nation were willing to elect a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi’s and dictators. if you couldn't be bothered to turn up to fight against that, well..

the system is shit, but we, at least used to have control of it. I hope we still do but the winner has already told us that he will be a dictator and we won't have to vote again.

I get it, been feeling a lot of the same feelings lately myself. the conclusion I've come to is that I do good things for me, not for others. I live by the old Wellstone mantra of "Everyone does better when everyone does better". In the end I'm just as selfish as anyone since I'm ultimately after my own satisfaction, but to have that, I need good, happy, safe, secure, loving people around me.

I used to be an optimist, I used to believe in the good of people. I don't anymore, people are mostly terrible, but the good ones are great and those connections are worth keeping and fighting for.

"The American experiment endures,"

I would say it just failed. I'm sorry but a system that elects a rapist, a 34 times convicted felon, one who defrauds students, cages children, takes away human rights, praises nazi's and dictators, and this was just the first term. I'm sorry but by any metric I care to meaure it by this is a failed experiment.

weird that we chose a fascist instead then.

I used to think this, not anymore, this one was obvious, everyone who pulled that lever, knew what they were voting for.

Bingo. The party of stupid, obstinant assholes was elected by the stupid, obstinant asshole electorate.

No point in hiding for 4 years, shits not going to be the same when you come out. The only thing we can do is get the fuck out or stay and fight. Shit’s gone get real bad if we all just hide. Pretty much what caused the issue since I feel like we all have been since Covid.

No, turnip will never face a consequence. Never.

I’m not religious but I am starting to wonder.

america will never be progressive and elections, while might be held in ‘28 there’s a model out there turnip is already looking to import. why do you think he’s crowing about orban and putin all the time?

It’s easy to keep rewinding until you find the one place we went wrong. Turnips first election, what we let bush get away with, Clinton’s turn of the party, electing Reagan, Nixon…. There always the one thing, there’s always the one weird trick.

We have a broken garbage system that has failed. We’re in for some shit.

unfortunately I've come to the conclusion that nearly half of this nation is comprised of idiots.
