So... Hmmm... A significant percentage of you are American, and either queer, neurodivergent, or both, correct?

What are you planning to do?

The question was already asked. The superficial answer is not much, but Toady doesn't allow unfiltered discussion if it threatens the safety of the board.

We are in a sort of hiding, essentially? Not hiding, but not making ourselves obvious.

Since the states’ governments have their own autonomy, maybe what they need to do is to go to a state ruled by the DEM Party…(maybe my point of view is not correct, but I should say that ’keep calm and move on’!）

One issue is that, with Congress, the presidency, and the Supreme Court all controlled by Republicans, it may be possible to enact a national abortion ban.

Years ago when the one-child policy was implemented here, it was a horrible situation for the families who wanna more children, though the governors used a lot of strict policies to limit the birth of fetus, there were still a lot of families gave birth to babies secretly.

The USA, as a country with a looser and opener politic atmosphere, I do believe there is still a lot of ways for the pregnant women to get the abortion,  for example, the herbs that will lead to abortion will get popularity on the black market probably.

Just like the old saying goes here, ‘though the policies above, we do have the countermeasures below .’

I'm sorry to say, you guys as an aggregate are fucking idiots.

As an outsider, I can only guess.

Sorry great order…
 
Maybe my words offended you, plz forgive me…

I do welcome your criticism, since I am not an American, and I don’t know the precise situation of the commoner there, the whole election was just like a football match to me, whoever won it should get the applause from a passerby like me.

[Random_Dragon]

I assume they meant Americans by that since we're the ones handing the entire country to a gaggle of fascist wannabes. Which...yeah, the sheer extent to which it's going this poorly is just. Oof.

[lemon10]

Nah don't worry zhijin, pretty sure he was calling us Americans idiots. Which. Fair enough. Sigh.

TMW when one guy in July makes a better attempt at saving the US from tyranny. 

The US is fucked. Europe is fucked. Civilization as we know it is fucked.

Wartime economy, here we come!

Ugh... we aren't passing The Filter™, are we?

You are overvaluing the importance of a single person in history.

Any Republican with a similar stance would won. With a larger margin because they would be less toxic than Trump and because of grand mobilization after a successful assassination.

There are many reasons for what happened, from natural reactionary sentiments, to oligarchs' support (at the very least - Musk), to foreign interference, to American far-lefts doing everything they could to mobilize voters on the other side while not helping Democrats.

Yeah, I'm in a mood of intense disappointment right now with the US.

But then this would have happened regardless. This wasn't going away - If Trump lost this election, then the next one would have had the Reps win, and they'd have run on pretty much the same platform. There's no shoving this genie back in the bottle.

The Dems need to have a serious look at themselves. This is twice now they've run face-first into problems with a conman and an idiot, and I suspect 90% of it is that they've gotten used to just running on a platform of "We'll do pretty much the same thing with a few new bits and pieces", which works when the system's working. The system hasn't been working for a while now.

Trump at least promises something new. It's bullshit and harmful, but it's better than telling people who have nothing left to vote for you so you can continue to do nothing for them.

[martinuzz]

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'

[Great Order]

Hitler had the ability to speak though.

Trump's literally just started making weird noises in the middle of his speeches. I remember seeing one where he just went "hep bep up ouhhhhhhh" like he had an orgasm in the middle of a sentence.

[McTraveller]

Welp.

If all we get is a tariff-and-deportation-induced-labor-shortage recession, that will be some consolation.

I'm sad that, policy aside, so many people support such a disgusting persona.

I do worry about the broader effects... it really does look like a shift to oligarchy and at best naive selfishness (although I think there is a tinge of malicious selfishness there, too. Note: I am including oppression in the broad category of malicious selfishness.)

[MaxTheFox]

Yall (nobody in particular, just the poorer folk of America) need to organize.

Capitalism and fascism rely on the illusion that they are necessary.

They won the battle but they will not win this war. They will FUCKING not. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Stay safe. I believe in you. It ain't over unless human civilization itself falls apart.

Meanwhile yesterday I prepared a bottle of fine champagne and a bottle of the shittiest vodka I could find. Guess it's the vodka.
