And it wasn't even close... Holy shit America, what the fuck is wrong with you.

So there was a lot of "I will get rid of my political opponents" in this election. Political assaesinations were explicitly okayed by that corrupt bunch called the supreme Court, sooooo... Can we expect a whole lotta "kamela walked by an open window and shit happened" type situations?

He talked about dozens of millions of people that would be deported right away, where to? Mexico won't just be able to accept millions of refugees, how would any of that work?

Then climate... The world literally is fucked. Climate chante is through the roof and multiple points of no return have come and passed. There are still things we sorta can do if we really step up and work hard on it, invest a lot of money. That's all gone, so yeah... Expect major catastrophes within the decade thanks to this, fuck you America, you are killing the world

Loads of women will die, but then again, they already did in the past years and nobody gave a shit to really stop that.

Ukraine is fucked, Europe will now have to take over it's defense. NATO will suffer and likely continue without the US, I guess?

Palestinians are fucked, they'll die. Sorry guys by at least some people got to vote for Stein!

So we have a Jesus will come back cult controlled by Putin in charge of 5,500 nukes and this time they've prepared, nothing yo see here.

What else?

Oooohhh, project 2025!

Military will he used against US citizens, meh, they called that in themselves at his point

Press freedoms will go away

Personal freedoms will go away

Polarization in he county is at its maximum

And again, we haver a jeebus cult why Nikes who want to bring the happy news yo the entire world. Trump already threatened to invade Mexico before so...

One wonders how fucked up the next decades will be for everyone.

Wil there be a US civil war? I think it's an actual fair question. How many rights can a king take away before people say, enough? Maybe one can hope for a coup?

All of this is insane, yet, correct me if I'm wrong here, at least half of the above will likely happen

Yay Americans, you got what you wanted

I feel like an alien or something. I just feel so disconnected from my fellow Americans.

[–] chetradley@lemm.ee 11 points 2 days ago

There are about 66 million of us that probably feel the same way. You're not alone.

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Well, when the Nazis initially started "getting rid" of Jews they started with deportation and other countries refused to take them.

Given how that turned out I'm sure it will be fine.

At least the gun violence is now earned.

Voters were presented with a choice between a baloney sandwich and a literal pile of human shit, and enough people whined that the sandwich didn't have mayo.

Edit: I will not be engaging with you, as I've said before.

Well, when that baloney sandwich spends the whole campaign saying "I can smell like a pile of human shit too!" it should be obvious why it lost to an actual pile of human shit.

Maybe you should ask yourself why a baloney sandwich was hand picked over something like a patty melt, club, or BLT and why that baloney sandwich was more concerned with trying to look like a pile of human shit than a delicious sandwich.
