God this sucks to watch from the other side of the world.
It sucks from the inside, too. I feel so hopeless the middle of all this insanity.
I can't do this again.
I hope we'll be able to do this again. There are worse alternatives.
How are there worse alternatives than having Hitler Cheeto edition as a president?
Probably having this as a president forever.
Exactly. Let's hope we get to have another bad US election rather than this being the last one.
It’s going to suck here too, if that makes you feel any better.
Trust me, it also sucks to watch from inside America. The sane people did everything we could.
Because so many people in the United States have elected to stab themselves - and EVERYONE else along with them - with a rusty knife, out of ignorant rage and lazy ignorance.
Don't forget South Korea. Do you really think America will be on their side this time around with Dump and Kim being kissing friends?
South Korea gets nukes in 3, 2, 1...
Don't they already got all the technology in place and all they need is time?
I think so, iirc South Korea, Japan and a few european nations are considered functionally nuclear capable in that they have all the material, fascilities and scientific knowledge to assemble nukes in a very short timeframe should it become desirable.
I live in Taiwan....good luck for all of us
This may be misremembering, but I thought I once heard of some people in Taiwan (a small, but vocal, number) liked Trump because of his "China Bad" rhetoric.
It's not quite as spicy from my side of the world (Australia), but I really do not like the idea of our closest military ally being controlled by a fascist.
Just seems like risky business, ya know?
I think Taiwan will be fine... for now. Trump is so Anti-China I doubt the US will drop its support. Eastern Europe however is basically fucked now
Trump is also easily bought.
The most annoying thing over the next few years is going to be listening to:
"What happened to my helthcare?" "You voted for Trump who promised to take it away. " "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why are the prices of groceries so high?" "You voted for Trump who promised to deport all the illegal farm workers who picked your food for low wages." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"Why did my daughter/wife/girlfriend/mother die in a hospital parking lot?" "You voted for Trump who promised to make life saving healthcare for women illegal nation wide." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the minimum wage?" "You voted for Trump who promised to lower it." "But I didn't think it would effect me!"
"What happened to the Palestinians?" "You voted for Trump/voted for a third party candidate which allowed Trump to rise to power then he gave Netanyahu the go ahead to wipe them out." "But I didn't think that would happen to my family!"
Suck it up. This is your bed. You shat it in. Now lie there and be quiet. We're tired of your bullshit.
"Why did graphics cards quadruple in price?"
"You voted for Trump, who supported China steamrolling Taiwan, and now all of TSMCs foundries are bricked."
