@MidnightRider yea scared for my 19 year old daughter. At 53 I don’t know who or what this country is. I don’t belong in it. Maybe I never have. I tried.

Fuck appealing to the male demographic, I want to know why women voters would willingly want to vote for a Nazi rapist who wants to take away their reproductive rights instead of a woman of color.

Women and ethnic minorities voting for Trump do NOT have my sympathy for what is in store for them. The rest, however, we have failed miserably as a country.

I get that a big part of this was people voting out of nostalgia for a pre-Covid economy and lifestyle (even though we know it isn't logical), but I just can't fathom the majority of people saying yes to someone so blatantly *evil* because they figure those evil qualities are secondary.

@Jorro
The world has been laughing at us. Now they state incredulously, wondering how we continue to choose hate, division, and ignorance. And even worse than laughing. They pity us.

@Tee_Lynn They just secured the trip backwards. Four years of JD, MTG, Two Scoops, Musk and Kennedy. Yippie!

All the votes aren't counted, but I couldn't be more disappointed with this country. Right now, Trump has received around 5,000,000 fewer votes (give or take) than in 2020, and Harris has received around 17,000,000 fewer votes than Biden in 2020. SEVENTEEN MILLION!

So many said they "Understood the assignment"?!? REALLY?!?

What the actual FUCK, America?!?

@sentientdessert Biden has faded, he isn’t going to do shit, He’s going to leave with dignity and no fight which is upright but that’s all he’s going to do before he bows out.

Biden has until January 20th to protect the stuff that is going to be affected by Project 2025.

i’m having an existential crisis. this is so fucking bad. so much death is about to befall us. children dying of preventable diseases, good people who can’t afford to escape red states taking things into their own hands, iykwim. this is going to be catastrophic. i’m probably going to be fine, though i’ll have to marry my partner and transfer all my assets to him, but… i can’t abide the suffering of others. this is so bad, i can’t even believe it. i just can’t.

Now is a time for grief, strength, thought, and then organizing."

@VelvetDuchess I agree. The experiment just ended. Democracy is dead in America. There will be a world war—cold or hot—we are part of the axis now. People just voted to make the devil god.

@vanish726 @VelvetDuchess
I'll never stand down.

Tramadol is kicking in again so I'll leave you with one more thought.

There are always, always saints and heroes all around you. Including you.

Be there for others when the time comes.

@VelvetDuchess No. It won't. But poland got rid of their fascist. So can we.

Congrats to Ann Selzer for being an even bigger clown than Nate Silver.

@ProjectShadow except that bill was last-minute Larry bullshit. I’m tired of making excuses for the Democrats too.

Ik some don't wanna give up "not all votes are counted" etc....

I get it "hope" right?

But heaven help america if it turns out Dems make come back and win

That would bring absolute chaos cause all of the voters who voted Republican are determined they won now

Hey Algorithm...

Connect me, too.
Connect me with the ones who let life's challenges soften them rather than harden them.

We are the ones who carry the grief of centuries... but still find beauty. We can be honest without being cruel because we know that truth can heal as much as it can hurt.

We see progress as love in action... a path lit by respect...not by fear or dominance.

@DavidSalo If people are going to be this stupid, then perhaps a bit of a superiority complex and a touch of intellectual-elitist authoritarianism are in order.

I mean, if people disliked both candidates and knew what they were doing, they at bare minimum would've given
the legislative branch (Senate/House) to a different party than the Presidency to deadlock the government and minimize how much harm can be done...
