This has gotta be fraud, there's just no way America would choose a convicted felon over a woman... right?

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 47 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Looking at the bright side:

-no more vaccines (never liked needles anyway) -no more fluoride in the water (who likes nice teeth anyway, plus you can get fakes installed) -never need to vote for president again (think about how much time that'll save) -no jan 6th revolt in 2025 (maybe they will just for fun though, who knows) -perhaps Trump can fill the remaining seats of the supreme court and get a properly conservative suite of justices -Elon Musk will be our super-cool tech daddy

  • No more environment (hate the outside anyway)
  • No more Ukraine (the weather in Kyiv sucks and I have a gluten allergy who needs grain anyway)
  • More refugees into Europe (yeah Europe is totally prepared for that and won’t cause more fascists to win European elections)
[–] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah fascists in Europe turned out great the last time

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Hey, maybe we in Europe will get to be the ones making a deal with the devil (Stalin then, Xi now) to get a red flag flying in the fascist capitol.

Better start working for some social points. I love surveillance cameras everywhere.

When Trump was first elected, it made me realize how stupid most of the US is. The results of this election were not surprising, I even linked to the sort of self-serving articles that preceded just before Hillary-Trump's elections to people who were doing the same in this election. At least in this election, it's sort of like Israel, they are leaving no doubt about who they support. I don't even care if Kamala gets the popular vote, most criticize the electoral college word only and refuse to consider gerrymandering as electoral fraud, leading to it occurring in greater and newer ways this election.

Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 35 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?

Money. Same answer in the US.

The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like "Silicon Valley" and institutions like the electoral college.

Interesting that was written in 2014... Before it was obvious it had all just gone to shit

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 38 points 4 hours ago (10 children)

1-America imports smart people from all over the world.

2-Technical smarts and don't-vote-for-fascism smarts are different.

About ~~6~~ 2 million fewer votes for Trump than last election, which is good, but it doesn't matter since there are ~~18~~ 14 million fewer votes for Harris than for Biden last election! Wher were those ~~18~~ 14 million people? It can't be that all of them are in the "I don't vote for genocide" camp. What happened?

It's never been clearer that not voting gives the election to the Republicans.

Edit: Updated the numbers as more votes were counted, but the point stands.

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe sexism and racism are not isolated to the right wing, possibly a lot more in the centre than assumed. Maybe just enough in certain demos to affect turnout.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

It's weird because I even noticed this among liberals. The presidential candidates are always referred to by last name. But both times a woman tried to run, people referred to her as her first name whether you are conservative or liberal or what have you. I have found it a bit disrespectful tbh, and all sides have been guilty of this. The US will never elect a female president, let alone a female president of color. It's bizarre.

[–] Jumuta@sh.itjust.works 2 points 54 minutes ago

maybe it's just because that's the more memorable/unique parts of their name?

trump/biden is much more distinctive than donald/joe
clinton could refer to both bill or hillary
obama/kamala is more memorable than barack/harris (though maybe for obama that's just because I've heard 'obama' so many times)

I'm not saying that's definitely not true, just that there might be other reasons why

[–] 01011@monero.town 3 points 1 hour ago

People did it with Obama too, he was "Barack" to some.

The US is a much more chauvinistic nation than many but it's also by far and away the most violent nation in the industrialized world. The two are definitely linked.

[–] doingthestuff@lemy.lol 8 points 2 hours ago

If Biden hadn't insisted on running despite his declining mental state, she wouldn't have won a primary, not very likely anyway. She is uninspiring and she carries the baggage of the struggling/non-existent middle class, housing market, 12 million border crossings etc.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

I don't know what the final turnout figures will be, but if it is a lower turnout, I can think of a few:

  • 2020 was the easiest year to mail in a ballot ever, and it got harder again as states reinstated various difficulties with mail in ballots.
  • So many people didn't have to go into work in 2020, they had more flexibility to vote however they needed to do it.

Hope the price of eggs was worth sacrificing all your civil liberties America

You deserve everything you're going to fucking get. That includes the women and Latinos that voted for him. Your faces will be eaten eventually and you will get zero sympathy from me.

I will be shocked if the cost of living comes down at a notable rate when compared to other developed countries.

Conservatives have never been better at managing the economy, yet people believe they are, for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm 1 points 4 minutes ago

Are you surprised that most people are just dumb as bricks?

[–] Kcap@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago

I heard a lot of commentary about the price of eggs tonight. I live in San Diego, America's most expensive city. I've seen at some major chains a dozen eggs in the $6 - $9 range. Most stores I've seen them around $4 or $5 bucks a dozen. I also purchased a dozen yesterday for $2.79, and that was through Doordash even. So like, I call bullshit. Americans are dumb and too lazy to shop around. The gas station closest my house is $5.80 according to Google just now, but I filled up last night about 5 miles away with cash for $3.99. So infuriating that lack of effort or stupidity is likely what drove Trump back into office.

Trump is not going to create a better economy. We're gonna go into a recession and he's going to blame it on democrats and COVID restrictions.

He's going to increase immigration, lower wages due to cheap labor, and cause wages to go down. He said this and the retards that live in rural America think he's going to benefit them. He's going to reduce the power of Unions.

It's clown world.
