Donald Trump Wins US Presidency for a Second Time

I really liked not living in a fascist country that hates minorities...
- Dunno where you were living before, but it doesn't sound like the America I know lol
  
  Yeah. Thats fair. I'm not prepared for it to be even worse.
- What about the ban of unvaccinted from society under Biden regime? That wasn't a problem?
  
  Not really, no.
  
  You're not entitled to recklessly endangering everyone around you. Thats not a freedom anyone has. Thats not a freedom anyone SHOULD have
  
  Nah, anti-vaxxers can get fucked.
  
  Believe it or not, "unvaccinated" is not a gender, sexuality, ethnicity or religion.
  It's a choice.
  You know what's not a choice? Being queer or brown.
  
  There was also that ban on drink driving, where measures were put in place to stop people doing things that could kill them and just as likely others, but it meant you no longer have the FREEDOM to control what goes into your body and do what you want.
  Good regulations exist for a reason - you are welcome to show me your doctorate dissertation that disagrees.
  
  Is that your motivation for voting Trump?
  Fucking hell... °–°

The day will come, when the orange cunt comes for you.
Because he will, you think you are safe because you are "one of them", but you are not. You are not part of the 1%, the ones really safe from him.
And that day, you will regret your vote, but with the amount of hate "your people" is spreading, do you think anyone will care if you are fucked by the one you voted to fuck "the others"?
Nobody will care.

So, what would happen if Trump dies before January?
- President Vance 🤮 with a pretext to hunt down political enemies
  
  Is it how it works in the US? Even if he dies BEFORE taking the office?
  Edit: I am not necessarily referring to Trump getting shot, his is quite old after all and may simply die of natural causes. I am curious what would legally happen in this scenario.
- A collective laugh across the world.
- This is where the convoluted system our founders instituted keeps us from descending into anarchy.
  People in each state vote for a slate of Electors, who are then bound to vote for the candidate that won in that state, and then the new Congress counts the votes. If a candidate dies before taking office, there are various opportunities for humans (State legislators, electors, Congress) to step in and make a substitution that reflects the will of the people.
  And yes, even in states run by Democrats, the legislature and/or electors would probably act to install Vance if Trump incurs God's Ultimate Veto, because they respect the will of the people.
  The only tricky part comes if Trump bites it after EC votes are cast, but before Congress counts them. Members might have a legitimate beef about accepting votes for a deceased candidate. They will probably do it, though. Then we would have to see what happens on inauguration day when the new President is unavailable to serve. In all likelihood, we end up with President Vance anyway.
  
  That's helpful, thank you.
  What if they both (Trump and Vance) die before the electoral college vote?
- Elon will over take it.
  
  I know you're either very very stupid or a effective troll. But that immigrant can't run for white house because he isn't American and never will be.

Celebrating a campaign that literally said their plans will cause recession. Good luck with your economic anxiety Republicans.

🤢🤮

Why the fuck is this being downvoted? My news feed doesn't even have one article stating the outcome of the election.
Do you guys know what the downvote button is for?!?
- It's because OP is a douche. And there was another post about this an hour before OP's, and it shows up on my feed. And there are more in other communities.
  
  Right, so people don't know what the downvote button is for. We need mods to ban folks who abuse the Downvote button
- Trump is already over the required 270 mark. He has won.
  
  Yes. And its absent from my feeds default sort because idiots are down voting all the articles about it
- My news feed doesn’t even have one article stating the outcome of the election.
  You need a better news feed. Like maybe one that doesn't require random people to find top headlines for you.
  
  Theyre all here of lemmy. The issue is that people have downvotes them as if they're not newsworthy
- The media is having a sulking moment... They took **hours ** to call it, even after it was statistically confirmed.
- Becouse Lemmy lost the elections 😏
  
  Your poor spelling is very representative here lol
  education really is underfunded. And trump is gonna make that worse. Giving a feedback loop of idiots ruining everything while ironically remaining ignorant of it all
