Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.
Every time i think the US can't get any more ridiculously observationally challenged, I'm taught otherwise...
A billionaire, convicted felon, moron and over all most likely a damn pedo gets elected to be the top-clown of the clown-college.
I'm sorry for every sane murican who has to endure that. And especially for everyone that is not "normal"....
Oh he's definitely a pedo. Creeping on his own daughter. Peeping on young girls in changing rooms. Epstein's best friend.
I agree with your message, but please try to avoid the r-slur. Its an ableist slur and quite triggering for many people, even if you mean it innocently.
You're totally right, sorry. And of course it wasn't meant in that way.
Appreciate you taking the feedback on board and making a change, thank you
Thanks, but I'm sorry to have had that oversight in the spur of the moment. I used that word for 40 years without much of a thought, it just stuck.
I get it - I'll take a person who uses it by mistake over someone who uses it on purpose despite knowing
Agreed ☺️

Damn it, i knew there was something smelly there. Thanks.
At least I can be super smug to everyone as the country burns around me...
Enjoy paying 200% more for everything.
Enjoy a national abortion ban.
Enjoy having a president Vance in 6 months when Trump threatens the wrong Oligarch
Enjoy having to grease a million hands to get the same government contracts you won on your own merits last year
I could probably keep typing this list for the next 4 years and not run out.
If i would have to live there (and i wouldn't even wanna go on vacay there) I'd probably be equally cynical and bitter. Not much else left to do, other than seeing the comedy in the tragedy.
I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn't even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment "no insurrection" thing.
Democrats vocally came out against getting him off the ballot for his crimes alleging 'you can only beat him at the ballot box', but it turns out they can't.
Got a source on that? I gotta read more news it seems.
Well, crap.
On the plus side maybe we will start hearing about the horrors at the US Border that magically stopped in november 2020.
Would you look at that? The immigrant caravan just vanished, as if by magic!
Fuck
The leopard ate my face are going to hit so hard all those non white and rich trump fan in the next years
Isn't USA culture very big about "never give up"?
Eh, at this point a majority of the voting block voted for fascism. I'm about ready to just call it, go home and not participate anymore.
I understand your feelings but would urge you tor reconsider. All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing.
Only if you're white. If not, do as your told or you may be assaulted, imprisoned, or shot dead. Sometimes you'll do what your told and those things will still happen.
And if you do make it, like the people of Tulsa did, then the racists will bomb your city.
Despair is typical of those who do not understand the causes of evil, see no way out, and are incapable of struggle.
-Vladimir Lenin
There is hope! It isn't easy, it isn't fun, but if we can know our circumstances, we can know our way out of them, and if we know our way out, we can get out.
Get organized. Join a Leftist org, find solidarity with fellow comrades, and protect each other. The Dems will not save you, it is up to the Workers to protect themselves. The Party for Socialism and Liberation and Freedom Road Socialist Organization both organize year round, every year, because the battle for progress is a constant struggle, not a single election. See if there is a chapter near you, or start one! Or, see if there's an org you like more near you and join it, the point is that organizing is the best thing any leftist can do.
Read theory. A good primer is Blackshirts and Reds. It will help contextualize what fascism is, what causes it, and how to stop it. I can offer a good introductory reading list regarding Marxism if you'd like, but this is a good starting point.
Aggressively combat white supremacy, misogyny, queerphobia, and other attacks on marginalized communities. Cede no ground.
Be more industrious, and self-sufficient. Take up gardening, home repair, tinkering. It is through practice that you elevate your problem-solving capabilities. Not only will you improve your skill at one subject, but your general problem-solving muscles get strengthened as well. Theory guides practice, which sharpens theory to be reapplied to better practice.
Learn self-defense. Get armed, if practical. Be ready to protect yourself and others. The Democrats will not save us, we must save each other.
Be persistent. If you feel like a single water driplet against a mountain, think of the Grand Canyon. Oh, how our efforts pile up! With consistency, every rock, boulder, even mountain, can be drilled through with nothing but steady and persistent water droplets.
Ew, gross.
No. Fuck no. Absolutely not.
Tyranny by majority...
