Most who voted for him are going to be quite surprised when it sucks for them too.

    Run it back in 4 years and see how well this holds up.

      Even if Trump doesn’t further dismantle the already weak democratic systems in the US, the consequences of this election will be felt for many decades to come. Western allies will be ostracized, international climate efforts won’t have a bloody chance now, authoritarianism will rise all around the world. Palestine will likely cease to exist, so may Ukraine and Georgia.

      Lots of innocent people will die just because they happen to be LGBTQ or pregnant or not white. Poverty will increase. The courts will be filled with right-wing judges.

      This election might be the most consequential political outcome ever since Hitler was appointed chancellor. It will be a fucking nightmare.

      And every idiot who didn’t vote for Harris is partly responsible. There is no bloody excuse.

        And democracy never comes back peacefully. Dictators never give up their power. The only way to bring it back is through revolution. Many more lives will be lost just to bring what the voters gave up this week.

          Also you need a critical mass of people for a revolution to be successful. I don’t see that any time soon.
