Not yet. Not for a little while. First, a few things have to happen:
- When the Department of Education is obliterated and schools nationwide collapse, it will also cause economic turmoil, because a lot of MAGA idiots work for federally-funded school systems in red states. They just voted to have themselves fired.
- The inevitable nationwide ban on abortion will kill a lot of women who believed it wouldn’t happen and voted for him - despite how much he bragged about killing Roe.
- Measles, mumps, and rubella will all make startling comebacks as vaccination plummets. Seriously guys, get vaccinated while you can. Oh, and COVID-19 is going to have a massive resurgence once RNA-based vaccines are banned in the United States.
- With the purging of civil servants from the FBI, the IRS, and various other letter agencies, we’re going to have a giant, stupid government staffed primarily by incompetent sycophants. Expect actual, productive work associated with any of them to grind to a halt. Expect the FBI to expend resources needlessly investigating whoever Trump hates at the moment. Expect the IRS to make mistakes that aren’t in your favor, and you can’t do anything about.
- Infrastructure week will forever be in the future, while actual infrastructure will be falling apart due to lack of funding. This problem will be felt the most in red areas, despite efforts to punish blue ones for voting for Harris.
- If you receive health care through the Affordable Care Act and you’re MAGA, you’ll be very surprised to learn that “Obamacare” was another name for it, and that you’ve just lost your health care. [insert “congratulations, you played yourself” meme here]
- You think things are expensive now? The inevitable flood of tariffs, with no adults in the room to tell Trump it’s a stupid idea, will jack your prices up enormously. If you thought COVID-19 inflation was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
- The deeply, deeply stupid MAGA people who believed that Trump would leave their LGBTQ+ friends - well, former friends - alone will find out the hard way that voting to remove people’s rights is a good way to make them disown you.
After things are going really, really badly, and there are only Republicans in government to blame, a few will begin waking up and realizing they’ve been had.
And by then, it will be too late.
They’re gonna blame democrats and republicans are gonna believe them, I guarantee it.
And the fruit and vegetable prices when they’re forced to pay minimum wage to pick it - or worse - pay that is attractive enough to get people willing to pick it in the summer sun and heat. $30/hr? Welcome to a half pint of raspberries costing $25.
Just like the UK and Brexit. Both foreseeable political disasters.
We know. Most of us already do at least. The others will follow later. But it’ll be much, much too late.
Unfortunately I’m not sure it’s “most” hence the way the popular vote went.
Correct. Slightly more than one third of the population are still celebrating and slightly less than one third are already regretting it. Those are the two thirds who actually voted. The final third haven’t actually noticed we had an election yet because they never bother to participate. If any of them pull their heads out of their asses at some point, they will likely regret it too, but I wouldn’t put money on it.
Please, none of the problems from Trumps presidency will be his fault. It will all be blamed on Democrats/Jews
And immigrants. And occasionally black people.
And queer people of every variety.
I don’t mind the whole “our president is a felon” thing, I mind that he was able to use the smallest loophole imaginable to escape any consequences of being labeled a felon. Well, I guess the smallest loophole would have been leaving the planet, and I’m just as pissed that wasn’t his exit strategy.
There was no loophole, all of it was made up and Biden refused to call their bluff.
“Insurrection Act only means the person can’t hold office, it doesn’t mean they can be removed from a ballot” Yah, okay.
You’re talking about the insurrection clause. Which definitely doesnt forbid removal from a ballot. And, obviously it should mean Trump doesnt get to be sworn in as president, its very unambiguous there. But also theres other laws against insurrection that should be putting Trump in jail https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2383
Give him time…
Maybe that means we could go through that same loop hole right? LoL, I couldn’t hit reply before laughing.
We’re all gonna get what MAGAts deserve.
… If we’re allowed to
America first
to go down.
Turns out the strategy of talking down to people with “this election is too important to listen to voters” didn’t work. Too bad regular Americans will be saddled with the consequences while the incompetent politicians whose job is to get votes will still be sitting pretty. Looking forward to the next time I get spammed to donate to millionaires to “save democracy” while they continue ignoring voters.
