Hope the price of eggs was worth sacrificing all your civil liberties America

You deserve everything you're going to fucking get. That includes the women and Latinos that voted for him. Your faces will be eaten eventually and you will get zero sympathy from me.

The amount of interviews I’ve seen where people say “yeah, he has some concerning talking points, but he promised a good economy” boil my fucking blood. The safety of half the population for the empty promise of jobs.

Can’t wait til they somehow spin the failed economy against the Dems again in four years.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have an idea! Let's put the guy whose policies partly contributed to our current economic state back in charge of everything. He'll definitely fix it this time.

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Too many people have a 4 year attention span, think the president "makes all the laws and is responsible for literally everything that's wrong with everything right now" and will vote with emotion. If the US government is good at anything it's keeping a lot of people poor, uneducated and angry.

Please don't forget that neatly half of the country realizes he's insane and is terrified. Not everyone deserves this. Tens of millions of us out there don't want this.

[–] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I will be shocked if the cost of living comes down at a notable rate when compared to other developed countries.

Conservatives have never been better at managing the economy, yet people believe they are, for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I hate this as a Canadian cause it's gonna mess with our economy. But it will also stoke more support for the current conservative dickbag running to be prime minister. Also I don't want more Americans moving here.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 35 points 1 day ago

This is going to have a chilling effect on democracy, and an energizing effect on fascism, worldwide. The movement to try to limit climate change is now dead and buried, worldwide. There is no part of the world that is safe from the effects of this.

I heard a lot of commentary about the price of eggs tonight. I live in San Diego, America's most expensive city. I've seen at some major chains a dozen eggs in the $6 - $9 range. Most stores I've seen them around $4 or $5 bucks a dozen. I also purchased a dozen yesterday for $2.79, and that was through Doordash even. So like, I call bullshit. Americans are dumb and too lazy to shop around. The gas station closest my house is $5.80 according to Google just now, but I filled up last night about 5 miles away with cash for $3.99. So infuriating that lack of effort or stupidity is likely what drove Trump back into office.

More than anything I’m depressed by the precedent that this sets for the world on attitude and actions. He literally attacked and abused his way to the top. And a majority of Americans support it. Holy fuck.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 77 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Looking at the bright side:

-no more vaccines (never liked needles anyway) -no more fluoride in the water (who likes nice teeth anyway, plus you can get fakes installed) -never need to vote for president again (think about how much time that'll save) -no jan 6th revolt in 2025 (maybe they will just for fun though, who knows) -perhaps Trump can fill the remaining seats of the supreme court and get a properly conservative suite of justices -Elon Musk will be our super-cool tech daddy

  • No more environment (hate the outside anyway)
  • No more Ukraine (the weather in Kyiv sucks and I have a gluten allergy who needs grain anyway)
  • More refugees into Europe (yeah Europe is totally prepared for that and won’t cause more fascists to win European elections)
[–] uniquethrowagay@feddit.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)
  • No more environment

That won't be a problem. America will simply be towed outside the environment.

About ~~6~~ 2 million fewer votes for Trump than last election, which is good, but it doesn't matter since there are ~~18~~ 14 million fewer votes for Harris than for Biden last election! Wher were those ~~18~~ 14 million people? It can't be that all of them are in the "I don't vote for genocide" camp. What happened?

It's never been clearer that not voting gives the election to the Republicans.

Edit: Updated the numbers as more votes were counted, but the point stands.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 55 points 1 day ago

It’s very strange to me that turnout is lower, purely because when I went out to vote there was a line goin out the building, which I have never seen before in my area

[–] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe sexism and racism are not isolated to the right wing, possibly a lot more in the centre than assumed. Maybe just enough in certain demos to affect turnout.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's weird because I even noticed this among liberals. The presidential candidates are always referred to by last name. But both times a woman tried to run, people referred to her as her first name whether you are conservative or liberal or what have you. I have found it a bit disrespectful tbh, and all sides have been guilty of this. The US will never elect a female president, let alone a female president of color. It's bizarre.

When Trump was first elected, it made me realize how stupid most of the US is. The results of this election were not surprising, I even linked to the sort of self-serving articles that preceded just before Hillary-Trump's elections to people who were doing the same in this election. At least in this election, it's sort of like Israel, they are leaving no doubt about who they support. I don't even care if Kamala gets the popular vote, most criticize the electoral college word only and refuse to consider gerrymandering as electoral fraud, leading to it occurring in greater and newer ways this election.

Why are americans so stupid and yet manage to export so much smart stuff from tech to podcasts to scientists. Is it some sort of dystopia where 1% rules, 20% live in a bubble and 79% are just brain dead idiots?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 50 points 1 day ago (12 children)

1-America imports smart people from all over the world.

2-Technical smarts and don't-vote-for-fascism smarts are different.

Why do people from Europe go and build monuments and luxury in Saudi Arabia?

Money. Same answer in the US.

The US is an oligarchy, as attested to by this Oxford study. To answer your question, mostly yes, hence places like "Silicon Valley" and institutions like the electoral college.

I am fucking gutted, I am so sad and angry and I don’t know what to do. I am overall a happy and positive person and believe in humanity but this win feels like it’s stripping me of a piece of that and I hate that! I hate that I feel so much hate right now, it’s exactly what I preach against, yet here I am. I can’t believe this is happening

[–] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 23 points 1 day ago

That's how I felt here in the UK when I woke up to see the majority voted for Brexit. Before that I thought people can't be that dumb. Apparently they can.

[–] pepperonisalami@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ikr... I don't even own a car, I walk to work, take the MRT everywhere etc. and the Americans are electing a president who says "Drill baby, drill". I'm not an American, but it will affect us all... I live in Taiwan now and I'm fucking afraid of what his presidency will do to the geopolitical balance with China.

Trump is not going to create a better economy. We're gonna go into a recession and he's going to blame it on democrats and COVID restrictions.

He's going to increase immigration, lower wages due to cheap labor, and cause wages to go down. He said this and the retards that live in rural America think he's going to benefit them. He's going to reduce the power of Unions.

It's clown world.

It it bad that I think that's a best case scenario? Things aren't looking good.

This has gotta be fraud, there's just no way America would choose a convicted felon over a woman... right?

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)
  • There’s no way any number of women would choose someone promising to curtail their medical rights.
  • There’s no way any non-white would choose someone so racist
  • There’s no way any immigrant would choose someone scapegoating their culture and promising to deport them even if they are citizens
  • There’s no way anyone who has listened to his speeches would choose a gibberish idiot
  • There’s no way anyone who witnessed the mess last time around would want to repeat it
  • There’s no way anyone who older person would choose a known real estate grifter
  • There’s no way a parent would choose anyone threatening their child’s future

I’m sure we could go on, but I just read an article that Trump did better than expected with every demographic except college educated women. How ?

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 71 points 1 day ago

I think that one guy with the folder "Memes if Donald Trump wins" is gonna have to bust them out.

Fuck. I hope Canada has some open slots for immigrants.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 121 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Canada has an increasing anti immigrant sentiment right now. They've announced big cut backs to the number of immigrants allowed. Furthermore, moving to another country is difficult and expensive. It's not a realistic option for most people.

[–] gerbler@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Tbh most of the ire aimed at immigrants here is specifically targeted to either Indian or Ukrainian migrants. Infrastructure is genuinely buckling under the weight of migration but it's a case of too little investment and not entirely the result of immigration.

I can say as a white, western immigrant to Canada that I've never had anyone complain about my immigration however I've had locals complain about immigration to me forgetting that I am indeed one of the immies.
