I’ve never met a single person in my life who “simps” for the Democratic party. These are not real people you are referring to.

No “if” needed there. He will be so much worse than we can even imagine at this moment.

The next year is going to be eye-opening for a lot of people.

I’m not a lib, and I blame the people who spent literal days here posting hundreds of comments convincing people to vote third party or not vote at all.

Progressives are also capable of critical thought. You make us look bad.

With respect

Their comment is deleted, but I can tell you that they didn’t deserve this.

A couple of things… First, this is where you are different than them. You will actually feel it when Trump escalates the genocide in Palestine. Those other people that were pushing people to not vote, don’t give a shit. That already separates you from those people.

Second, this is just based on my own personal understanding of fascism, and history, but I have a feeling that you are going to be nothing but disappointed with the Democrats moving forward. Because they will be controlled opposition. Assuming they continue to exist at all.

They will exist as props to get nothing done, and become scapegoats for every problem the Republicans cause. So get used to that feeling. We are going to have much bigger things to worry about than political parties (assuming more than one exists).

Third, to answer your original question, Harris had a very thin line to walk with regards to the topic of Israel/Palestine. I’m not sure if you are aware of the extent of the influence that AIPAC and the rest of the Israel lobby has on US politics (every side, does not matter), but it’s extreme. Just look at what happened to Ilhan Omar when she dared to mention the $$ involved in their lobby. And it has just gotten worse since then.

If Harris had come out in favor of ending the genocide, AIPAC would have ratfucked her and she would have lost. I think the fact that she signaled support for Muslims a day or two Election Day confirms this. It was the only way she could do it that wouldn’t give AIPAC enough time to completely blow up her campaign.

There was nothing she could have done, so she tried not to talk about it.

You did vote for genocide though. You can tell yourself whatever it is that you think you need to hear in order to preserve your sanity, but you are directly, partly, responsible for what happens next.

I hope you will be paying attention.

And if Harris would have won, and if she would have nominated Mike Huckabee, and if she would have been doing the things that Trump is about to do in the coming months, I would be saying and feeling the same way about myself.

It’s called being honest with yourself. You should try it sometime.

I would say definitely more than just possible.

And nobody can say that they didn’t know, as I know I probably lost a year of my life repeating the same arguments over and over again to people. pleading with them to vote for Harris.

I am not a Liberal. I’m not the biggest fan of the Democratic Party. I am also not a fucking moron, and I have a firm grasp on geopolitical history.

I would like it if people stopped generalizing that all leftists are idiots who sat out or voted third party.

Hey, can we please stop lumping all leftists together with the idiots who refused to vote, or chose to vote for Trump?

Some of us understand reason.

Yep. All of this talk about the makeup of Congress, and having an opposition party becomes moot when you hand power to fascists.

Lol Trump doesn’t pay his bills. He still owes several cities from campaign rallies he held in like 2015. He’s infamous for not paying his bills, and was so for decades before he became president.

There is no chance that Trump paid for this.

Oh I’m sure he’ll have a nice well-done steak with ketchup every now and then.

(I died inside a little bit just typing that)

Because it’s a fucking Cybertruck lol… In nearly any other situation, I would say you’re right. Take the kid’s choice into consideration, but then maybe ask if they have a second favorite car.

It’s from The Handmaid’s Tale. Great TV show based on an amazing book that is all too relevant.

If you haven’t read or seen it, you should. Like right now. Before January 20th at least. Margaret Atwood made sure that everything that happens in the story is something that has happened (to women) at some point in history. Because she knew there would be men saying that it’s sensationalist, and would never happen… turns out all of it has happened.

Beware: it is harrowing. Very very very bad stuff. But sometimes it’s necessary to not turn away from these horrifying things. Especially when they’re happening again.

It’s like the authors of Project 2025 read it and used it as an instruction manual, rather than a warning.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Republican president fucks everything up, democrat gets elected to fix it, fixes it but in doing so gets nothing they promised acomplished, voters blame democrats and swing right. Rinse and repeat.

Yup. We elected the black guy (twice), and people lost their fucking minds.

Dude was a moderate, center-right, President, but none of that mattered. They spent 8 years fantasizing about lynching him.

And now this is our retribution.

You know that they can just stop EVs from taking off, right? We elected an autocrat.

They can also stop infrastructure for it from being built, and perhaps even tear down existing infrastructure. Well, aside from the ones Tesla owns of course. At least until he and Elon have their falling out

I wonder if Mike had to text his son when Trump brought the hookers out immediately after this photo was taken.

Under fascism, all corporations become an extension of the government. Those that refuse to are nationalized or eliminated.

He’s afraid of someone poisoning him.

I’m not joking. He probably should be too, he makes enemies of everyone he’s ever come in contact with.

Including the people in this photo. He will use them until he has no more need for them, and then he will throw them under the bus, or ditch them, or now use one of the many arms of the federal government that will be at his whim to bury them.

That’s what he does, he uses people and then disposes of them. The ones he can’t get rid of completely become his enemy.

Unfortunately, now, he will have means to get rid of them completely in various creative ways. Because that’s what autocrats do. Look out for people like Michael Cohen, Stormy Daniels, et. al. to start disappearing or dying mysteriously.

If there was a “Deep State,” now would be the time to step up and do something to protect the Republic… Could you imagine if they manage to take him out with poisoned McDs? lol
