Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn't have to be the default choice.

Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.

I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.

Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they're the biggest polluters.

That just means they're racist too. All he needed to do was paint immigrants and refugees as boogeyman so even minorities look down on them. Anything goes, as long as leopards don't eat my face!

If the world wants to shift towards extremism, why stop it? Give the people what they want.

The easy answer is, money. Lots of it. With the deregulation of financial crimes (let's see how badly the IRS gets gutted now), it doesn't matter where the money comes from. But it will be necessary to invest heavily in the next midterm and presidential election to ensure JD Vance doesn't automatically win.

The internet archive is based in the US. Until they relocate to a safe alternative, it doesn't matter how much money they receive.

Not gonna lie, this battle will be uphill against entrenched industries like big oil, crypto, big tobacco, the military industrial complex, and billionaires like Elon Musk.

But you can't roll over and let these assholes ravage the country. Conscientious objection to dubious orders happened during the Vietnam War, and it can happen again if Trump goes rogue.

Exactly. This makes the entire thing a joke.

The court will decide acts are official when convenient (read: supports their guy).

The Federalist Society needs to be outlawed as a terrorist organization.

You can't draw an imaginary line between American policy and your home country. It affects everyone when more natural disasters happen or food prices rise due to global insecurity.

People who think freedom of speech also means freedom from consequences.

Bigots being criticized is proof the system is working.

Privilege for you to type that. For others, like Ukrainians, the consequences are much worse.

A lack of accountability has been a recurring theme here. The orange man will take no accountability for attempting an insurrection, or for the hatred he encourages. Voters will not take accountability for electing a fascist.
