I fully believe there will never again be another legitimate election in the US. Except, I want to be devil advocate and say Trump can’t pull it off. I know that’s not true so I have to kinda decide if I want to larp it.
Trump can pull it off, but Trump can also shit himself and fail. Either possibility is there. Either way, though, we’re looking at four years of right-wing policy and, like last time, in case any of the dumb fucks who think “Swing to the right = Later swing to the left”, a resurgence in conservative views that four years of non-fascists isn’t enough to completely reverse.
We likely lose another supreme court justice seat if not more. Also all the old fuck justices destroying our country will step out and be replaced with truely diabolical assholes because Rs play for keeps. Sorry, the only way to save the court after today is massive reform, good luck.
I swear the liberals sitting this one out will regret nothing more in their very turbulent future.
No, they’ve moved on to blaming Harris for not ‘inspiring’ them to vote against fascism, and Harris voters for daring to vote against fascism in a FPTP system.
I mean, on one hand, yes, Harris and the DNC absolutely deserve a great deal of blame for the fiasco. If they had shown a shred of competence, fuck, at the very least it wouldn’t have been so goddamn lopsided.
On the other hand, that does nothing to lessen the guilt of anyone who failed to vote against fascism.
No no, after months of reading the same 6 people post inane shit on Lemmy I learned that the Gaza situation is entirely due to JOR BIDE N who loves GENORCIDE. Israel apparently didn’t do anything.
I’m just kind of assuming he’s in mid- to late-stage Alzheimer’s and hopefully won’t last the year, probably getting “Amendment 25, sectional 5’d” by Vance at the earliest opportunity, and I don’t think Vance has enough political will behind him to be a dictator. At least that’s my hope, flimsy as it might be.
Elections going forward will be for show, like elections in Russia. But Trump has said “we won’t need to vote again” so maybe he’ll just make himself president for like President Xi. This is extreme, but since the Rs will control every branch, could they ban the Democrat party, or it to break up, anything like that?
They can do what ever they like. Democrats are powerless to stop them. They don’t even know if they should. They hesitate when they see injustice and think, wait, this could look politically bad and hurt my reelection. Trump has dispeled all that shit and proved that all this political posturing is bullshit. You can be as unhinged as you like, and as long as you’ve fostered real support and didn’t just garner it from some political capital factory it will be unwavering.
Lots don’t realize it yet but this was their last chance to vote. It was pretty meaningless but they could have fended off the reversal of years of political gains but instead they looked to their pockets and let the people with their hand in it have back control.
“Parties? Were we’re going, we don’t need parties.”

Don’t worry. The leftists will find someone else to blame.
I thought they blamed biden and bibi.

I mean, she kinda did fail to inspire people to vote against fascism, hence the fact that fascism won due to low turnout
