Fuck that, I love this country and I'm not ceding it to a bunch of stupid bigots. They're the ones that should be leaving.
What if I told you that the bigots made America into the hellscape you have Stockholm syndrome for?
Because the founding fathers certainly didn't like non-whites. Or even a lot of other white people.

and move where? to another country electing fascists?
Yeah now that Russia has bought and paid for the US they can focus elsewhere.
They'll be drinking champagne (or the Russian equivalent) in the Kremlin tonight. Putin and the KGB played the long game and won.
maybe it's not time to run, maybe it's time to fight.
I'd love to leave, but it isn't feasible for me. I'm absolutely terrified and have no way out.
I'm not leaving. All my friends are here. We don't run from danger.
Ahhh yes, it is so easy to pick up and move to another country. Why didn't anyone think of this earlier?
"If you don't like America, leave!" Was what Republicans said for decades.
Now we're expecting the poor and disabled and BIPOC to just do it because Harris failed. Unbelievable.

Metoo?
More like you, again.
Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.
FFS.
So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.
I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

Instead of mocking people like this, us on the left really need to understand them and how to appeal to them better than Trump. Dude is a billionaire and managed to convince working people he's on their side. He's winning the populism game because no one else is even playing it. Time to beat him at his own game
I don't pretend to know how to accomplish this. I may be completely wrong here, but two things that have to go:
- Religious thought ("faithbrain" or the Peter Pan-esque belief that things are true because you believe they are true, despite a lack of evidentiary or even argumentative support, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary)
- Social media bubbles (billionaires controlling the content people see, creating bubbles of "information" that skew the public in their favor)
There's almost certainly more to do as well, but those things stand out to me. Also, it seems hard to believe that we could make any progress on these fronts given the current situation.

Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.

He looks like a cartoon demon. An exaggerated 90s gross-up cartoon demon. Wtf do people see in him* except for their ugly-ass selves?
He pisses people off, which is funny or something. Plus they are afraid of immigrants and "the gay" though there have been times when those people have embraced good will and togetherness, usually when a country song about it becomes popular. There was one about doing a good deed and passing it on or something like that and people weren't dicks for a month or so.

Our embassy would be calling for our citizens to leave USA now if not the pesky international relations.
I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.
I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.
Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.
When you're 18, you're more than welcome in the New Mexico/Colorado coalition. New Mexico is more affordable, FYI. Until then, there are good people on Lemmy you can lean on.

Diabetes, please do your job.
JD Vance is a more effective stooge, because he does what he's told without question. Trump at least has his particular brand of self-defeating chaos.

trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?
One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.
Thiel is Vance's backer. Vance would be a competent Trump. Much more dangerous.

I, for one, hope that this is exactly what we needed. Shit has to get dark before the light can return.
So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show
