Trump warns voters that his second term would get ‘nasty’ at times
Of course his idiot dumbshit supporters all assume they won't be the ones suffering, it'll just be everyone else, and that makes it okay to them.
They don't understand that rooting for them, doesn't make them part of the team.
They don't understand that Donald Trump loathes them
If Kamala wins, her Dept. of Education should really make a push to make sure that we are teaching fascism and WW2 in schools so people can recognize this shit and stop falling for it.
As a German, I have to sadly tell you that that's not enough.
It's important to teach media literacy and critical thinking too.
Every single church that made a political endorsement needs to be stripped of its tax exempt status. And audited by the IRS.
Domestic terrorism is being fomented at the ground level in "religious centers," and we've gotta start calling things what they are.
"The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them."
don't be silly, of course the leopards will only eat other people's faces.

They’ll just be told to blame everyone else for their suffering, just like they have been for decades now. It’s all going to be heaped on the same old tired bogeymen: illegals, libs, the nebulous educated elite, etc.
It is far more than okay with them when the right people are suffering hardships. They would elect the most overtly corrupt person to ever exist and destroy the country just to make sure the right people get hurt.
They just did elect that person
And this fucker is about to win... I can't believe this.... And my state denied women abortion rights.
I hope every woman that voted for this isnt raped and forced to carry that baby.
And Rick Scott, the leader of the largest Medicare fraud, is re elected again.
My state is filled with idiots who won't even vote for their own best interests
57 percent voted for reproductive choice. But the measure required 60% supermajority.
And to make things worse - abortion being its own separate item on the ballot may have been what cost us Florida, since pro-choice voters who leaned right could vote both ways.
Have to agree, FL is looking more and more like a lost cause. The upside is after drill baby drill does into effect, it will speed up the timeline of the Florida Isles becoming a thing. Might want to invest in boat stocks, its gonna be waterworld down there, sans Kevin Costner.
Florida confuses the shit out of me. How did it become this way? And so quickly! With the major metros I don't understand how it's so red! Even Texas races are getting closer and closer, and I think it's because of the major cities.
Florida in the last 20-30 years has been a representative sample of retiree vote in the country. The boomers and Gen X that retiring now to Florida are just not progressively minded. The people that moved to Florida during the pandemic were also very hostile to blue state politics which is why they moved to Florida, which was perceived as a red state during that time period. Now we're just living in that reality after all the dust has settled.
I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:
Fuck.
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.
Honestly I’m not sure American businesses are very smart.
I imagine corpos do want trump, but it seems as short sighted as going after quarterly profits ahead of all else.
Ok, so you own a corporation and want those pesky “water break” regulations that are really cutting into your profits to go away. So you back trump. He tweets out “WORKERS DRINKING WATER ON THE CLOCK, SAD AND BIGLY BAD” and they decide that’s an official act and you can squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of your workers.
Meanwhile, he puts a 20% tariff on all your inputs.
I don’t support, but could at least understand, companies wanting this guy out of some rank greed. But he’s articulated positions that would be awful for most businesses. Every serious economist has looked at his tariff plan and gone “oh yea, that would destroy the economy”
Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.
Lots. I don't feel so good Mr stark.
They've been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.
Thanks for the new expletive.
what the nazi fuck, bro?
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
This monster has to go. Not only should he lose but he should never be allowed in this country again.
He should have been convicted at the second impeachment trial, but McConnell made up another rule that never existed before.
You guys can keep him. Just put him in an orange jumpsuit and throw him into one of your egregiously inhumane jails.
Oh, but our worst jails are outside America.
He doesn't deserve to live. The penalty for sedition and treason is death.
One of the side effects of the past 8 years or so, that I really do not like, is that this piece of absolute garbage has made me earnestly wish for someone else to die. I don't want to be that person, but here we are...
We should bring back exile just for him. Send him to Antarctica or some shit.
Russia, since he loves Putin so much.
Leopards Eating Faces party straight up tells voters that they're going to eat their faces... and they still vote for them.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.
Don't forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.
Just over half of those who voted said yes, there's still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it's going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We'll suffer, but then again we're already going to be.
It'll be extremely bitter sweet, one day seeing a AmeriNazi and asking em WTF they were thinking electing a guy that literally says the economy will be worse, to boost the economy.
Have crash it to get the growth duh!
/s but I legit thinks that's what is going to happen.
Its almost as though he just doesn't care about anyone but himself.
Can you imagine not seeing that? Like literally the first time you see/hear him speak?
I just don't... I can't...
Narrator voice: they think it's only applicable for those they don't like.
Honestly, if Trump wins I hope America burns. We all deserve it, some more than others, if he wins.
Seriously, here in Australia, a win is a legitimate reason to take yanks in as political refugees (especially women)
As an American trans woman, at this point I think I could handle my arachnophobia enough to flee to Australia
Visited Sydney and Trinity Beach in June with my family, and it was one of the best trips I’ve ever had. I wish we could have seen more, let alone move there! So clean, people cared about the environment, lovely people everywhere.
❤️ Australia!
Wait lol can we really move down there? I'd love that, or NZ.
Nah let's build a wall.
NYT forecast is 90% Trump now. It's crazy that anyone would vote for him, really shows that policy plays no part in politics. It'll be interesting to see how he tears down the judicial system to remove the many charges against him.
Yup. American democracy is going to be dead after this election.
I wonder how much of that project 2025 will be implemented.
Pff policy aside, the guy is a man-child and somehow that appeals to people
What was Harris' big policy goal? What is she the champion of? Tax rebates? Policy does move people but Harris offered no vision.
Fuck off. The majority of black Americans live in the south, and more than half of the northern states voted for trump too.
What a shitty attitude
What a shitty American voting public that hopefully will get what they deserve.
Fuck Trump and fuck you Shill Stein donkeys too
You mean those pro-Stein accounts that won't post another peep now?
I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.
When people tell you what they are, believe them.
And his supporters will still vote him. Even Elon has been saying that if Trump wins, there will be a "temporary" financial crisis. The thing is, "temporary" can mean months or years depending on your scale. But we know financial crises don't last for a week or two.
he means that Trump and his billionaire friends (including Elon) will make lots of money while common folks suffer but that is all worth it because they will make M'uricah great again
Again.
I wonder how long it will be until the Trump vs Musk power struggle. My guess is early summer.
Not many, for people of color
And women, and poor people, and journalists
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
Trump will do a great job. The SCOTUS gave him full immunity, so what can go wrong?
Biden could do an official act. A couple of official acts, even.
It would take more than a couple. Trump is terrible on his own, but he isn't the sole problem, he's largely just a symptom of the bigger problem.
I'm so divided on this. I would love to see him do anything to mitigate the damage. But I fear that almost anything could tip us into a rural versus urban civil war. I beg all leftists to procure a gun(s), learn gun safety, and learn how to shoot.
Preferably in the next month because I wouldn't be surprised if sales are restricted.
Trump is going to increase MUH LEGAL immigration by a lot. Wages are going to go down as result and unions will be gutted. Will police still support Trump when they end up making 18 USD/HR? That's what he means by hardships.
Corporations are going to see a huge increase in profits because they're going to cut labor cost by importing cheap labor.
I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.
It's honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that's been oppressing them their whole lives. It's amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that've been oppressing you for centuries? It'd be less depressing and more funny if it wasn't for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.
Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you
college, housing benefits... healthcare.
funny, the exact same things conservatives have made impossible to obtain....
Likely the police will make even more, and will be hired to bust unions.
Police are going to support trump because hes all "back the blue", because soon they will all be his henchmen.
I'll pass.
I'm a Struggling Middle Class Hispanic Woman and I'm GLAD that I voted for the Man who promised to Deport me, force my Daughter to Carry her Rapist's baby, create HUGE Financial Turmoil and Enslave me!
Yeah let's blame it on the minorities and women instead of the misogynist, racist, absolute piece of shit white men who voted overwhelmingly for Trump.
I'm a Misogynist Racist Piece of Shit White Man and I voted for the man who PROMISES to Hurt everyone I don't like (Including my Wife and Daughters) so why bring Me into this?
masochists eat it up
No, thanks. This is just morons doing what they do 😮💨
Yeah my local kink community is very Democrat, especially the masochists
He said he will be a dictator for one day. Also mused in detail about how great it would be to have one really tough day or night where the gloves came off. Sounded like a strong vigilante rallying call, to every raging nutjob who really wants to go out and kick some gay ass, or whatever.
I mean Hitler made a similar speech announcing the night of the long knives.
If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this. In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence – which depends on its internal order and security – cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone! And let it be known for all time to come that if anyone raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.
Well they will have to go through my guns first. I’m not going down without a fight.
At this point I think maybe he will have america burn down so something decent can be built this time. I only feel bad for the rest of the world they are trying to take with them
Maybe Canada can invade again?
Not with the conservatives in power
The Dems are going to lose not once but twice to this guy that anyone even a little progressive could have handedly beat.
You do realise that they currently lose for being viewed as 'too progressive ' right?
No wrong, Trump actually didn't perform any better than last time. It's Harris that couldn't even match the performance of Biden haha.
Bullshit. Anyone even slightly more progressive would have been curb stomped.
Dude face it, the DNC is completely flaccid and ineffectual as long as it tries to appeal to institutionalist values during a populist cultural zeitgeist.
And the Democratic party isn't going to benefit from trying to beat Xenophobic Nationalism™: the Party at its own game of xenophobic nationalism by ceasing to counter their rhetoric on immigration like they did once Biden took office.
Keep telling yourself that. Maybe the Dems should get their own version of Donald Trump haha.
They had Walz, but kept him in a corner until recently. Just moronic strategy.
The inflation will be yuge!
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?
Please post your ideas here if you'd like: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Project 2025 is going to be nasty.
Nobody is going to change who they are and how they want to live because of Putin's fat orange bitch.
Honestly Im happy he’ll win. America was on a road to fascism since the 60’s and there was nobody who really wanted to stop it. It’s better if it gets there faster.
This world is so fucked up anyways, there was never any hope, only delays.
Why better if it gets there faster? How many people have to die for this BS. Woman are already being sacrificed to the dark gods.
Get a load of this guy giving up already
After Hitler, our turn
If precedent is anything to go by, you and your accelerationist bullshit are dead wrong.
Well, you know what they say.....a politician never keeps his promises.
The one time Trump actually IS telling the truth is an odd time to bring out that particular saying..
