@AskTheDevil i think the thing is there really isn't a singular "we" in this country. there really are two americas, and it's just a constant battle between which one is in charge at any given time.

@VelvetDuchess noooooo not the scots! i don't want to be enemies for life with the scots!

@nonayadambidnes the entire guardian piece i just linked to is basically a phone banker retelling all the ways in which voters said "i believe what donald trump says unquestioningly and unshakably." :(

@Timmah1979 it's a tough call, i could see you being anywhere from 40-60. i do think the full beard ages you up a bit, though, especially with the greys starting to come in. my husband's your age and has the same amount of grey hair but he keeps it down to stubble which makes him look more "late 30s who stayed out too late drinking with buddies."

@TwiHusband i want to leave dumbfuckistan pls :(

@nopuppet_007 @Razdawg22 @TheNewsOwl what makes you think they're not already treating their own daughters like garbage?

@AngryCanadianGamer that's how the polls keep underrepresenting his support. they hide it until they have the all-clear to be out & proud.

@nonayadambidnes what kills me is WE ALREADY HAD HIM IN CHARGE. he blew up the deficit giving tax cuts to his rich buddies (and that's his first order of business in january), RAISED taxes on the middle class and royally fucked our economy.

this is just heartbreaking. how can WOMEN sit there and say "you don't see women building skyscrapers"?

first of all, they very much do. second, what does that have to do with being president? third, how can you say your own gender can't run the country?

@cwithav "no person has ever done that" ...reagan? 🤨

@Astartiel meanwhile, American voters:

I hate this world.

@CinnamonGirlE the question is, where? I'm not looking for a short jaunt overseas, that will not protect the health insurance my husband needs to live. and it seems like every country on earth is grappling with a wave of fascism.

I don't want to meet hateful, self-sabotaging idiots where they are. I want to win them over to reason and empathy and moving forward as a society.

@TrueBloodNet seems obvious to me the solution to MAGAs terrified their kids will "become trans" is to educate people on what being trans means, not let them have their way shoving millions of people into the suicide-inducing closet.

@MrsDanaD @TrueBloodNet how do you ask people to slow down and wait a few more years for their basic human rights?

@TrueBloodNet no such thing as "too far too fast" when it comes to other human beings' right to exist. it costs taxpayers exactly nothing to allow trans people to exist and receive gender-affirming healthcare. i will not throw marginalized people under the bus to placate bigots.

the sports issue is also a non-issue, they already check hormone levels and you have to be on HRT for at least a year to qualify. "separate but equal is inherently unequal."

@TrueBloodNet biden wouldn't have won either. fact is he's deteriorating, honestly he shouldn't have even run in 2020. it was sheer frustration with trump that put him over the finish line (and being a white dude). biden was already polling way behind trump. also ask JFK if christians will attack a catholic. also KAMALA IS A CHRISTIAN.

@MerakiLife it's pretty simple math. Trump lost about 3 million voters. Harris lost about 15 million, because woman.
