Summary
Despite Trump’s criminal record, serial lying, and racist demagoguery, he won the 2024 US presidential election, reflecting America’s deep-seated anxieties and cultural divisions.
Trump’s celebrity persona, economic populism, and culture warrior appeals resonated with his base, while Kamala Harris faced challenges in defining herself and overcoming gender and racial biases.
The election underscores the decay of American democracy, raising concerns about the future of the nation.
Yup. With the high likelihood that Republicans get the trifecta, this country is about to become a lot more dangerous for my kids, both LGBTQ+, because dipshits believed that a “businessman” whose businesses all fail is good for the economy.
Not just the LGTBQ kids. I worry about most kids. Child labor laws were getting more shakey already. Schools and education have been suffering. Healthcare also stands to take a hit. I’m worried.
Robert Kennedy is about to be put in charge of American health care and Elon Musk om our federal budget. When Musk said next 4 years was going be tough for the majority of Americans they meant it. Yet still majority voted for Trump.
There will be face eating leopards like no one has ever seen before
Honestly at least with musk theres a non zero chance he bankrupts the federal government.
That’s actually the plan.
Bankrupt the government and sell it off for parts.
Every kid’s future just got worse because of the impending abolition of the EPA (among other things) and shift back to a “drill, baby, drill” approach to climate change.
Plus you can kiss education goodbye you can’t get an educated man to go down into a mine. Or blindly obey your authoritarian leader
Honestly, I’m going to laugh long and hard at the economic collapse when it comes. These fucking idiot “captains of industry” wanted this. Enjoy the results, I guess. You’ll get a few good quarters, and then absolute, complete chaos.
The true captains of industry do want this. chaos is how they transfer wealth from the poor to themselves.
In a depression, the money doesn’t vanish, it goes into the pockets of the super rich.
