My dude, nobody said there was a good option. The choice was a bad option, and a much worse option. Bill Clinton doesn’t matter since he has nothing to do with the government. Harris at least paid lip-service to stopping Israel; Trump said he wants Bibi to “finish the job.”

And the kicker is, one of those two choices was going to win and if you don’t vote for the bad option, the much worse option wins by default.

Unfortunately, this whole election can be summed up as: everyone not named Trump voted against their best interests.

And people in the community were warning for months that this was the consequence of refusing to denounce genocide

And they were told, repeatedly, that Trump would be worse. Guess what happens now?

But somehow you only want to blame the racial and religious out group who can’t even be credibly blamed for losing the election.

Trump improved his margin across nearly every single demographic, so there’s plenty of blame to go around. But in a comment thread about Muslim voters feeling buyer’s remorse, I’m not going to talk about the white men who get fed shit from the manosphere podcast space, or the ghost of Phyllis Schlafly infecting women across this country to vote for the party that wants to take their rights away, or that when Trump was talking about Latino immigrants he was talking about them and not those other immigrants. It’s called “context.”

You guys were claiming for months they weren’t important and should be ignored

Nope, didn’t say that. I said that when your choice is token lip service about maybe stopping Palestinian genocide, and making the genocide worse, that you should vote for the former, because otherwise you’ll get the latter. Which is what happened. Congratulations, you told the Dems you weren’t going to vote for them, and now are surprised they ignored what you wanted.

Then maybe they should have listened when they were told that this was the exact literal consequence of voting emotionally.

Next question.

I’d like to respond with:

Alex Jones wants to eat ass.

very funny, very stupid

Well, their work is half done already!

I love that

They’re turning the freaking frogs gay!

is now officially an Onion story now.

For sure.

I’m a licensed electrician. I’m curious what my job prospects are going to look like in the coming months.

Trump was already elected before and quickly became irrelevant after his 4 years.

And who is going to be the next US President?

And who is nominating a Russian asset to be DNI?

And who is nominating a child sex trafficker to be AG?

Not to mention that the construction industry- particularly housing- just stops.

You better worry about how many will obey when he orders them to be used on American soil.

Oh, so now we care about “willful retention of national defense information”?

They don’t meet even the most basic crash safety standards.

Well that’s just incorrect.

We actually have no idea what crash safety standards they meet because Tesla hasn’t submitted them for any testing at all, and as we all know from Elon’s new BFF, if you don’t test for it, you won’t have to worry about it.

Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge each sold over 700k half-ton pickup trucks last year, while Toyota sold only 130k Tundras. I suppose it’s possible that there are a quarter million suckers out there.

And if people really are as concerned with the economy as they claimed to be, what’s going to happen when prices go even higher?

It’s his whole schtick. Apparently trying and failing to hold Trump accountable is more immoral than supporting him and shielding him from him the consequences of his crimes. 🤷

I’m guessing Hope Hicks isn’t interested in being his “pants steamer” for a second time?

He knows

Well there’s your first problem.

Psst: unenumerated rights is the Ninth Amendment. Tenth is “StaTeS RIgHts”.

But we’re not talking about challenging and improving laws here and there.

Neither are we. We’re talking about a man who wants to be a dictator and has said as much. We’re talking about the political party backing him that has a complete disregard for the aspirational ideals this country was founded on- a secular government that ensures equality for all. We’re talking about the greatest wealth inequality in the history of the country. We’re talking about the looting of public services to continue to drive that inequality even higher. We’re talking about the language of fear and hate being spread from a coordinated political party and media that is enriched by that language.

Transferring power to someone who wants to improve your country but wants to do so in a way you disagree with is fine. Giving power to someone who said he is going to break everything is not.

The transition of power in a democracy must be honored, otherwise it’s not a democracy anymore

And now the dilemma becomes clear: you either give up democracy to prevent a fascist takeover, or you give up democracy because the fascists have taken over. Either way you’ve lost it, the question is whether you want the hope of it returning once purging fascists is done, or whether you want concentration camps and minority rule?

Democracy does not work when the electorate is uneducated and heavily propagandized, exactly the way America is now. Prioritizing the concept of democracy over the rights of people who will be hurt by the people you’re handing power to, makes you complicit.
