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".

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.

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.

it's just a four year term, just bribe him for peace and move on.

The court cases weren't gonna make any punishment stick to him anyway.

Oh he’ll pardon himself for the federal crimes, and/or stop the investigations the DoJ are performing.

I’d be curious to see him get convicted at the state level. It would be interesting to see how a sitting president being convicted of crimes, particularly crimes relating to elections, plays out.

The Supreme Court has never ruled that the pardon power doesn't apply to the states, so it'll be up to... his appointees to decide.

Oh good.

I think there are also two aging conservatives on the SC. Anyone want to take a bet they retire within the next two years?

A free-for-all at the DNC would’ve been the better choice.

Ironically Trump is doing more to entrench conservative values than actual republicans

In my opinion, probably, but there were better choices than both readily available.

yeah, this.
