Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

I guess it's confirmed. Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.
a bad of rocks doesn't have 34 felonies.
I guess people really do want fascism. We talk about it like it's an obviously-awful thing, but apparently most Americans disagree. Most people around the world seem to disagree, in fact. We laugh about the idiots voting for Trump, but far right lunatics are gaining positions of power all over the planet. It's not just Fox News-fed Americans.
It feels like we're building up to something catastrophic.
Fox News is a vestige of the 20th century. Social media is the 21st century Fox News. Everyone knows it's bad but we have not reckoned with it. Everyone agrees it's bad then everyone returns to scrolling their echo chamber.
Unfortunately the social media oligarchs side with Trump. We're all fucked.
They don't see what he's done and what he's said. The people that put him over the edge this time were targeted for being ill-informed and tempted by magic wand campaign promises like "no tax on tips" or dumb things like gold sneakers. They aren't watching informed news or doing research about his past performance. They're simply voting on vibe alone and have been heavily targeted on social media to make them think everything sucks and he's the only one who can fix everything when in fact he's the complete opposite of them.
This is somehow less of a gut-punch than 2016 when everyone just assumed Americans would do the right thing and not elect Trump. It still sucks, but it’s less of a surprise. The writing was kind of on the wall for awhile though, just given the fact that the election was as close as it was. Even if Trump hadn’t won, that he was able to run the most garbage campaign in history and was still tying it up was pretty damning of America.
So now we watch as we just peacefully transfer power to the most vile, irresponsible person on Earth and watch the world burn.

I can't fucking believe we did it to ourselves again I'm completely in shock, this is fucking ridiculous.
I would say the same thing but just drive a car somewhere some time. People are the stupidest most selfish garbage you can imagine. And nothing brings that behavior out of them like driving a car.
Speaking of driving, that could be a protest measure. Super simple, super legal. Just obey all traffic laws, stay to the right, AND always drive 5 below the speed limit.
Sure it could elicit gunfire, vehicular assault, stalking. But the rear view mirror theater will be to die for.
Under trump i doubt much "freedom inhibiting" transit will be built. And bike lanes are ablist so they are gone. Sidewalks will be gone too as only "poor people" walk so why waste taxes on them. Hell, he might even rip out a railway to build a highway, cause that's more american.

The dumb bastards just gave Gaza to Bibi and Ukraine to Putin. And that is just a small part.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Taiwan was next now
It will be. The orange shit stain and co. will hand that shit over in no time. I'm betting he's going to leak military secrets as well because he's a fucking idiot.
The next 4 years are going to be rough...and mark my words. Every dipshit that voted for him, will be blaming biden somehow for increased costs everywhere.
I don't understand how this many people see everything that he's done and said, and still voted for him. I just do not understand. I don't want to live on the same planet as these people, nevermind in the same country.
Because of Racism
Still, even the biggest racist should look at him and think: there has to be a better racist.
Aside from plant of other things that have already been said, a lot of people look at it as a team sport. They don't see it as having real consequences.
