the only thing i've seen them campaign on is hurting someone else, and it fucking worked. They ran batshit insane ads about forcing gender reassignment surgery in immigrant internment camps and it fucking worked. The accusations of gangs of choose-your-bigotry foreigners eating pets fucking worked. And now they've elected the most unlikable motherfuckers to lead a campaign of hurt on whomever is not them.

I feel mad. I feel ill. I feel like we're going to be tearing down the precious, irreplaceable lives of people for the short term profit of a few billionaires and sell off our own future and humanity in the process.

It's still an uncomprehensible 180 in my head, to stop seeing the US as 'the guys that helped us drive the nazis out' and start seeing them as 'the country that elected Hitler in 2024'

Oh, common.....

Trump is many things but he is not Hitler. He doesn't promote hitlerism either. Fascism - yes, to a very significant degree. Hitlerism - just nope.

Using accurate words is important, people get numb when they are misused. Like it happened to the word fascist that became "whoever the left dislike".

They ought to be pitied! They are already on a course for self-destruction! They do not need help from us. We need to redress our wounds, help our people, rebuild our cities!

Well, this sure ain't the result I expected to wake up to. Such interesting times we have to endure.

I talked to my wisest friend a few hours ago and their takes on the whole matter helped calm me down. It'll be a rough ride but you will make it.

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?

I should still say that his win is the result of demoncracy.

Emphasis mine. That is too good to just be a typo.
The USA is like on of those goblin civs now.

I'm trying not to be too pessimistic, which is hard, but the world survived a Trump presidency before. I'm sure it will this time.
