    If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

    Ngl seeing the American left wing bubble burst is wild and entertaining. I mean, I would never want Trump to be elected but people have gotten a huge reality check of what sort of online environment they were exposed to.

      It is crazy to me all the things I’ve heard people just casualty say. There are people who straight up think he is going to start creating dead camps.

      He might not create policies you like but he is the president not a fascist dictator from WWII

        He literally promised to create concentration camps.

        He is also a known liar, and I personally believe he’ll deliver that one partially to a small ratio that is still horrible but too small to count as the promise. But I can’t really fault people from fearing it’s not a lie.

        You don’t understand he said this will be the last election. That’s obviously one of the few truths out of his mouth among the millions of lies.

      this, but unironically. Largest economy in the world, largest military in the world, and we just handed it to a giant toddler who thinks I should be tortured and killed for being gay. If you think you won’t be affected, then you’re as stupid as I am for thinking this country had a chance.

        What a narcissistic thing to say: “oH, We HavE tHe LArGeST EConOMy, mILItaRY, and blah blah blah”. There are many countries in the world that have dealt with serious problems before Trump was ever elected, would have still dealt with those problems if Kamala won the election, and will continue to face these problems after Trump’s term.

        You’re speaking from your high seat of privilege ignorant of the happenings in other places. What gives you the right to tell me how my life is going to be affected because of this. Like Kamala was some fucking Messiah that would have rid the world of all its problems.

        Get off your high horse man. There are places that have been shitty before you were ever born, and will be shitty after your death.

    No. No, we can’t “move on” from the election, because elections have consequences. We will never be able to “move on” because we will be continuously fucked by those consequences, in the ass with no lube, for the rest of our lives.

    Even if Trump and the GOP give up power and the US holds free and fair elections in four years, an absolute fuck-ton of permanent damage will have been done in the meantime.

      Like, what exactly? States are still moving forward with their climate change plans. The states who aren’t, have a very small impact and are largely canceled out by those who do. Deportations will likely go up, support for Ukraine will likely evaporate, but the impact to citizens inside of the US are largely unchanged. The economy isn’t going to change course, and we’ve been getting fucked in the ass with no lube by all of our administrations going back to Reagan. The ceiling isn’t falling, it’s been fallen for quite some time.

      There are so many things at stake, but people really don’t know how bad Trump’s supreme court has fucked the environment already. Getting the average voter to care about it won’t happen until it’s far too late. I try to just not think about it.

    Attention everyone there was a major US election that took place 2 days ago resulting in Trump winning

    If you get on social media for the next month (probably more) you are going to see politics unless you filter it out or get off social media

    Totally unrelated question. I just noticed the door and its locks. Does it have four locks? Or is it a lock above each doorknob? I’ve never seen a door like that.

      Often when tenants lose keys to a deadbolt, a shady landlord or superintendent will say the knob lock is “good enough” to avoid paying to have the deadbolt replaced. Consequently, tenants might install their own deadbolts.

      You might ask, why not just replace the existing lock!? Well, the super is going to call a locksmith to do that, and the locksmith can charge more for installing a new lock rather than replacing the old one. Plus, an extra lock when everyone’s is home for the evening == extra security.

      I haven’t seen anything productive in any of the conversations about it I’ve looked at. Just fingerpointing at who’s to blame. It’s pointless to argue now.

    That’s accurate to how I feel inside. GOP got it all. So nothing can really stop their agenda. Which sucks if you’re not white male.

      Except that is not really true…

      Trump may not be in line with your political beliefs but somehow I doubt all of the crazy stuff I’ve heard said. He isn’t creating death camps or deporting democrats to Mexico.

        Project 2025 is now in play. Abortion ban, porn ban, removal of federal employees who aren’t “loyal” enough. The only saving grace is that Republicans can’t govern for shit, so there’s going to be a lot of wasted time on infighting. Not enough, though, since a lot of it can be pushed through by the president alone.

        Oh! And the oldest, most conservative SCOTUS justices will retire, solidifying the conservative super-majority on the court for the next 20-40 years. The only way to change that is to change the makeup of the court, which requires a trifecta. So yes, it isn’t the end of the world, but it isn’t “no big deal” either.

        In order to undo the damage, we have to fundamentally change the Democrat Party to be just as far left as the Republicans have moved right. And that took them over a decade to accomplish (and they have the easier task, since big business wants both parties to move right).
