    I get this, but probably the best way to feel safer is to forge local connections. Check on your neighbors, they’ll check on you

      Unfortunately, many neighbors in the US have decided to take it upon themselves to install a fascist dictator as the head of our government.

      In fact, the only way that many of those neighbors will “check in” on their neighbors is through a scope.

        My district voted 86% for Trump to 14% for Harris.

        I have no neighbors. Just people who will report me to the secret police in the future.

          I’ve been there, not impressed.

          besides, I’m not allowed back. something about I “scare the congregation”.

          I say those with a wicked heart will always fear judgement.

    Lemmy is going to be insufferable for the next four years, isn’t it? Hysteria is already through the roof.

      If you lived through four years of that greasy shit stain, you might be a little hysterical too.

      But please, don’t let me interrupt you from acting like an insufferable twat.

        He was a shit President, but all the doommongering about how WWIII was about to begin never happened. Because he was just shit and incompetent.

        The next four years will be similar.

          In 2016 the Republicans didn’t have the planning or political infrastructure to truly cause the damage they wanted to. In less than a decade we now have an openly corrupt and stacked Supreme Court, a legislature with plenty of Maga sycophants to pass whatever they want and a presidency that is going to be filled with the likes of Elon Musk and the literal Project 2025 playbook written by trumps cronies and the Herritage Foundation.

          Funny, it’s trump himself doing the doommongering about WWIII. Hmmmm.

          Just note, it may not end our shit democracy but it won’t be more of the same. Trump first time around was a dog that caught the car. This time he brought a pack a wolves with him.
