Finally some good news out of this election.

Past elections are on Wikipedia. And this one will take a while to pull the numbers together, but it'll be added in the coming months.

If you don't think Trump will actively accelerate that you're deluding yourself.

And many of the more right wing religious people lean towards homeschooling, in which they can tailor to what they want their kids to learn (and more damaging) what they don't want their kids to learn about.

At some point it becomes impossible to tell what is something Trump really believes and might actually do versus what is just blowing smoke, blatant lying, a thing that contradicts another thing he said, or something he forgot he said.

People who voted Harris did so because they either thought some other issue was more important or just didn't care.

Or realized that Trump would be far worse for the Palestinians than any Democrat has ever been.

I guess Trump won't see consequences,

Probably not given his age, diet, and general level of fitness.

And even if he does live that long, I doubt he will remember it given his clearly declining mental health.

In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics

That's no excuse for electing someone whose stated policies and politics will fuck the economy even further and faster.

As well as imprisoning of people spreading information and making art that the regime doesn't like.
