Our embassy would be calling for our citizens to leave USA now if not the pesky international relations.

I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.
I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.
yeah, thats all fair. it is ignoring how california will be uninhabitable in short order if we dont take immediate steps to curb climate change, and trump has vowed to undo the little progress the biden administration had accomplished, and to "drill, baby, drill"
Yeah, that's going to be a world wide problem in any case. California can also keep doing it's green push too, but just like with countries, it's a moot point if your neighbor is mucking everything up.

Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.
FFS.
Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.

Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.
uneducatable
Solid distinction.
Religion primed the rubes, and a new godhead told them he is their salvation.
Anecdotally... About 75% of the right that I know/met.
The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.
Every time they'll be complaining about the price hikes under Trump, just remind them of why they voted for Trump. This is the best course of action against "collective amnesia" as we call it in Hungary.
Oh alongside the loss of benefits they rely on (which I told them about), the pandemic potential with the worst Kennedy, even their friends which are of varying ethnicities and going to be targeted, the list is.... Long.

So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show

Real Vanity Fair image, in case you were curious like me. From this article, about a quarter of the way down (on mobile at least): https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/donald-trump-wins-presidential-election-2024?srsltid=AfmBOoqLRfHo70JfvoeZaBIJqUpWHxf0nO_UKHUatbC_cgIqMWF3_dU9
I just don't get why they never learn. I thought you were saying this is spoofed and the real cover was in that article....but nope that's the really real image. The right LOVES images like this, it does nothing to inform the base besides giving a "cool counter that he's beating". Show pictures of him going down on the mic on stage, show pictures of how old and fragile he is, anything but the stupid mugshot/he's a bad guy motif that's done nothing for the past year.
