"But the felon promised me cheaper eggs."

I've been saying this all day now, when the Nazi eventually cries about the higher food prices because they deported all the immigrants our duty is to tell them: shut the fuck up, you voted for this.

I will now cut back on all social media. Lemmy included as I get a depression from what's happening in the US. What is painfully obvious is that we Europeans must stop fucking around and federate so that we have a fucking chance wedged in between despots and idiots.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

The current trend is sadly in the other direction. Fascists are rising to power and the countrys get more separated. More border controllers are happening.

Volt all the way baby!!!

Lets get the european federation on the way!!

This is so. fucked. up. I'm not American (and thank fuck for that), but I'm actually feeling so ill and worried for y'all. I think it's time for me to block/unfollow any American accounts and news cause shit's about to get really fucking bleak.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago

I’m American. I’m so disappointed in my fellow Americans. And I’d wager around half of us feel similarly disgusted by these results.

Just know not all of us voted for this fascist. I have been trying to organize more and get my friends to organize against this. Clearly civil disobedience is needed, so I think organizing and donating to organizations that support anti-fascism would help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago

I would do the same. Imagine how ill I feel living here and being surrounded by red states. Woohoo

I went on holiday to the USA this summer. We had time, money, had never been and feared/expected the USA to elect Trump again. Looks like I made the right call. Stay strong USA.

America is fucked. Ukraine is fucked. The world is fucked. The only glimmer of hope is Trump drops dead before his term is out.

The issue is that the heritage foundation has put JD vanced to take over for Trump when he dies

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

He's still there today whispering in Trump's ear. At least if Trump were out of the picture it might derail the presidency and allow some of the weirder weirdos & grifters to be shown the the door. It may also reset republicanism to some degree since they don't have to care what some narcissist dickhead thinks at any given moment or pursue his vendettas. Also it would be karmic.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Which, and I can’t believe I’m saying this, is actually scarier than just Trump. Both are nightmares, Vance is young and wants to make tech CEOs kings

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

Of course. He's bankrolled by Peter Thiel and they make no false claims about it. Dude is a vindictive brat with billions to his name and absolutely 0 shame. He bankrolled Hulk Hogan's Gawker lawsuit over a grudge.

America wasn't built on just immigrants, it was built upon a certain type of immigrants: opportunists who placed greed above everything else. It shows.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

The first waves, sure. Once you get to the Irish escaping the famine or the Italians escaping Mussolini, it became more about just survival.

The OGs were racist as fuck towards them, too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago

They served as fuel for the social structures the first waves built.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Very accurate meme. This is me seeing that the votes between the two candidates are somehow close. This is me seeing how one of the two is even allowed to run at all.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I think it's insane how Democrats keep getting blamed for not picking the right people to run when Trump can seemingly say or do anything at all and not lose a percent of support.

One of the USA sides has to be perfect and the other can do nothing and it will still be close. Insanity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Because most left wingers are pissy pants babies that don't understand that compromise is an important part of politics.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Didn't the Republican senators/house members decide to vote against a border protection bill just to spite the other side? That's not compromising.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 14 hours ago

Literally a magic 8 ball in a pile of bullshit making decisions would be better than trump.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 6 hours ago

Well, if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, its hard to deny the facts. Its a corrupt system. I know everyone is all calling trump a criminal for this and that, but its like, yea, hi, welcome to America. The crazy thing is the idea that ANY person in high political office is NOT a criminal. You just don't get that high up in American politics unless you're playing dirty pool. Theres a million things one can criticize Trump for, but it just makes no sense to use the "criminal" argument unless youve spent your life living under a rock.

Americans are also watching in horror FYI

Apparently those Mussolini style of speeches and the other 50 or so political suicides did not really matter as much as you would think. No matter the outcome this being this close I think spells the end of the USA as a rational power.

America really really hates women.

Professional career politician that supports israel and genocide*

I think it’s time to update and broaden my filter range on Lemmy for the next few years…

[–] [email protected] 27 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Im more impressed than terrified. Choosing a guy who cheated on his wife instead of decrimanalised marijuana AND better healthcare. How???
