    No. There were two ways the trump admin was going to go. He was either going to run an effective fascist regime, or become the ringmaster of the largest dipshit fucknugget circus. Seeing how things are going so far (and he isn’t even the president yet) it’s going to be the latter.

    Sure, there will be long term damage that is going to take years, if not lifetimes of hard work and good policy to undo, but it can be undone. Assuming 2024 was a wake up call and people vote more effectively instead of throwing their voice away at propped up Russian disinfo candidates.

      That’s what the Americans said after the first Trump election

        And the Americans are still here because he ran a clown show last time too. Palestine might not make it through the next 4 years though, but that’s what the abstainers and 3rd party voters were pushing for.

          Are you one of those people who seriously thought that Harris was going to do anything to help Palestine? If so, you bought into something much dumber than Russian disinfo.

            Out of the two and only two choices Americans had (thanks, first past the post), she was overwhelmingly and objectively the best.

            But yes she was weak on Palestine and that was bad. Ranked choice for actual third parties, please.

              I voted for Jill Stein. She advocated an arms embargo against Israel to end the genocide, which I believe is the best course of action.

            we don’t actually know what Harris would have done to be intellectually honest, we just have what she said.

      the problem is that people learned nothing. The pandemic gave trump a get out of jail free card, I guess, even though he fucked it up
