US Election & Presidency

They've turned the senate too. Project 2025 will be in full swing in no time

I fear the very worst is to come.

If (and it's a big IF) Civil war breaks out before the inauguaration of Trump in January, it will be a long bloody war and probably will drive America to the brink of extinction as a nation
I fear that the one thing Trump will try to do once victory is assured, is rip up the American Constitution as it more than likely will mean nothing to him.

He will want to rule America unopposed one way or another, and have his own way, and that will be enough to start a war.

If America burns - it will be sad to see. I will say this to all Ex - pats in US : GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

My only hope is the morons who voted for him will get screwed over as well, so we will be united in that regard

We have failed the world
Doesn't seem real. This nightmare just won't end

I don't blame you personally mate, I blame other fucking idiots who voted for him.

Yeah, no more wanking for us in the States

Some random thoughts…

Biden stayed on too long.

Harris was a weak candidate.

Populism works — and not just in America.

“Project fear” hysteria (almost) never works.

Having the best “ground game” in an age of podcasts and social media, is like having the best cavalry in an age of tanks and jet planes.

Middle America is still more racist than it wants to be, and more sexist than it pretends to be.

On the economy: “You’re better off but you just don’t know it, dummy….” is not a winning campaign message.

We apparently don’t want someone who “feels our pain”. We want someone who shares our anger.

The progressive left went too far, too fast. This is the price we pay for extreme wokeness and cancel culture.

Celebrity endorsements are bullshit. Clooney, Roberts, Swift, DeNiro … stay in your box. (Not you, Springsteen… You do what you want… You’re the Boss)

All of that said…

The world survived 4 years of Trump. It’ll survive another 4. He’s not a threat to democracy. He never was. He’s just a dick.

To quote a famous fish: …just keep swimming, just keep swimming.

He'll screw everyone over - even those who supported him, IMHO Trump will not care who voted for him once he is back in the White House. He only cares for himself and screw the rest. How can a country vote into office a convicted criminal? it beggars belief.

He might not
JD Vance is looming which is a terrifying thought

Honestly, Americans are just dumb, racist, misogynists who like the entertainment value of Trump
A Nation of Trolls that hate the other side more than they like their own side

If he can't finish his term, Vance has no appeal
Elon and RFK Jr, dear god

Being pragmatic, if he's going to win, it's better it's beyond doubt then at least the transition of power will be smooth.

America might be in the shit but hopefully the rest of the world will be ready for him this time.

On a positive note, Starmer will be shitting himself this morning

and probably half the Royal Family too.

If Trump wnts to declare another country a 'shithole' I've news for him - you're going to be living in one before long!! :

Trust me mate, we all thought that once everyone sees through what Trump has in store for them they will quickly realise what bloody idiots they have been. It's like they pretty much have forgotten how many Americans died from Covid when he was president first time round.

Harris may have been the probable lesser of two evils to some, but I'm pretty sure she would have dome her very damn best to make a reunited America.

Now you must be thinking : Do we take Vance, Musk, RFK Jr out along with Trump in one big hit to spare the world?

Well, at least the cats & dogs of Springfield will be happy this morning
