Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.

FFS.

Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 99 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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.

So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.

I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

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.

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

What devil has this guy made a deal with? No matter how stupid, obnoxious or abrasive he is, people worship him. He constantly screws himself over and then before he has to face serious consequences he trips on a rock and somehow everything's alright again for him. At this point he literally can shoot someone on 6th Avenue and get away of it. I think Trump is solid evidence that we're living in a simulation and somebody is fucking with us, because life just doesn't work the way it works for him. Somebody's thumb is on the scale.

He looks like a cartoon demon. An exaggerated 90s gross-up cartoon demon. Wtf do people see in him* except for their ugly-ass selves?

It's 80 degrees in November. America has reelected a climate change denier. SUV sales continue to rise.

To what end? He'll do what billionaires and the project 2025 ghouls want him to anyways. He doesn't need to be turfed. They want to keep him there soaking up all the media attention and hate while they do their evil shit in the dark.

trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.

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.

Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.

The entire rest of the world needs to be on watch, trump is a potential threat to other countries

FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN AMERICA GET THE FUCK OUT NOW

[–] dance_ninja@lemmy.world 97 points 17 hours ago (9 children)

Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.

You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it's not easy to just up and leave for another country?

[–] RawrGuthlaf@lemmy.world 46 points 16 hours ago

Even that isn't enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.

There is a saying...

Make a mistake once and you can call it learning, make a mistake twice and you are eh... not so smart

Americans need education.

Time and time again I remember this meme

Basically democracy is government after the people, by the people, for the people . . . but people are retarded . . .

[–] masquenox@lemmy.world 33 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

Is it too early to start talking about the abysmal failure of the "Vote Blue No Matter Who" strategy?

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Lets discuss the "we're really Republicans, so you Republicans should really vote Harris who will now ignore all leftists who intended to vote for her until they feel like shit and stay home instead of electing her!" strategy Harris tried to use just like Hillary tried to use that also entirely fucked up her voter base because the Dems DON'T want to vote for a Republican in disguise, and SHOCK the Republicans DO NOT CARE if you are 100% identical to their candidate, or ever MORE of a Republican than their candidate they are playing sport politics, they would elect a child molester, convicted felon, calling for ethnic cleansing, and removing all human rights of Women, they DON"T FUCKING CARE! They have no idea what politics, policy, or governance even is, they just want to WIN! Go RED Team!!
