I will now cut back on all social media. Lemmy included as I get a depression from what's happening in the US. What is painfully obvious is that we Europeans must stop fucking around and federate so that we have a fucking chance wedged in between despots and idiots.

America is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. The world is fucked. The only glimmer of hope is Trump drops dead before his term is out.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 1 points 9 minutes ago

The issue is that the heritage foundation has put JD vanced to take over for Trump when he dies

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 5 points 48 minutes ago

America wasn't built on just immigrants, it was built upon a certain type of immigrants: opportunists who placed greed above everything else. It shows.

This is so. fucked. up. I'm not American (and thank fuck for that), but I'm actually feeling so ill and worried for y'all. I think it's time for me to block/unfollow any American accounts and news cause shit's about to get really fucking bleak.

Very accurate meme. This is me seeing that the votes between the two candidates are somehow close. This is me seeing how one of the two is even allowed to run at all.

I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

I kept trying to tell people that polls and surveys is just astrology for math nerds

Apparently those Mussolini style of speeches and the other 50 or so political suicides did not really matter as much as you would think. No matter the outcome this being this close I think spells the end of the USA as a rational power.

[–] volodya_ilich@lemm.ee 1 points 15 minutes ago

those Mussolini style of speeches

Like Kamala at the DNC saying that the US needs to have the MOST LETHAL army in the world, and the crowd bursting into chants of "USA, USA, USA"?

[–] xenoclast@lemmy.world 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

America really really hates women.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 1 hour ago

And wierdly is made mostly of women, who must hate woman.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Not really. Voter engagement always swings more right than left, the fact the numbers aren't that far off means it's likely more than 50%.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately, just shy of 50%

Im more impressed than terrified. Choosing a guy who cheated on his wife instead of decrimanalised marijuana AND better healthcare. How???

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Cause muh price of eggs is too much

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 3 points 42 minutes ago* (last edited 41 minutes ago)

Could have done something about price gouging for the last 4 years but they didn't

Don't blame the voters blame the people in power

It's all cyclical.
South America goes socialist and back every other election.

And now some idiots believe Trump can bring back the haydays when America ruled the world economically. It's not gonna happen, just even through population math. China India has more people and can build things cheaper, so what are u gonna do?

It is capitalist greed and moving manufacturing to China - what completely eroded US technological advantage. And now same capitalists in US think solution is moving manufacturing to India. Ha. Can't make that up.

Like ok - hes gonna put up some tariffs which is probably right, but this not gonna cancel China manufacturing advantage - they're just gonna sell their cars to the rest of the world. And just wait till comac comes out full force and cancels out Boeing and Airbus.

Like the dumbest thing US did - not fixing shit up with Russia. That's the energy that powers China manufacturing, who even knows if China would be able to compete as they do without Russian energy. But nooo, we need Ukraine hurr durr.

The national identity of being Canadian over the last while has been every four years wondering if the downstairs neighbors are going to decide to restart up the meth lab they keep tinkering with and bracing for the sounds of domestic violence to resume.

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 points 31 minutes ago

Hey maybe when their meth lab explodes we'll also have a swift death :(

gives side eye in indigenous Glass houses bro

[–] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Not saying our shit doesn't stink but there's a certain matter of scale to consider. Leastaways we don't have nukes we can hand over to the psychopath we are looking at voting in.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

You've described exactly how I feel. And of course, the shit down south is affecting us up here, we have our own lunatic conservatives like Doug Ford, Milhouse and Bernier who aspire to be like the GOP.

[–] Drivebyhaiku@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

Conservatism is a worldwide problem and they all borrow each other's notes. It's not going to be a fun time for us coming up. I can only hope that when the shit hits the fan down there those up here start rethinking their bullshit.
