Literally in a car with an immigrant right now who voted Trump because things were cheaper before covid.

FFS.

Anecdotal evidence that the right is for the uneducated.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 99 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

Anecdotally... About 75% of the right that I know/met.

The other 25% is a mix of racism, greed, and conspiracy theory.

So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.

I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

I don't expect everybody to be politically aware, but there's "not politically aware" and then there's whatever that is.

Grocery stores are making record profits. Do they really think they are going to voluntarily cut prices? They know there will be no oversight under trump (not that Biden did anything about price gouging). Prices are going to go up even higher.

The entire rest of the world needs to be on watch, trump is a potential threat to other countries

FOR PEOPLE LIVING IN AMERICA GET THE FUCK OUT NOW

You realize that unless you have a second citizenship it's not easy to just up and leave for another country?

[–] RawrGuthlaf@lemmy.world 46 points 16 hours ago

Even that isn't enough unless you have a lot of money laying around and some kind of support network in whatever country you plan to escape to.

Most people don't. I really didn't get the whole scope/big picture until my wife (who immigrated as a child and now works with immigrant families) explained the whole process and gave examples of things she's seen at work and with people in the community. Last night we got dinner with my mom and she asked "OK where are we moving to?" to only get a lengthy conversation of how it's works and how hard it is. It's not as easy as buying a plane ticket, selling all your stuff or shipping things to where you are going and then picking up life as normal. I hope most people here realize that, but I felt like it needed to be said.

Lol and go where? From what I can tell, Canada has a housing crisis and is tilting right. Western Europe is already getting sick of immigrants and dealing with the far right.

What is so fucked that the US isn't an anomaly. Authoritarianism has been on the rise since the 90s and we don't really have any more true democracies. The crazy right-wing jackasses that people back in 2000 and 2005 thought were just kooks and nutjobs are now 100% mainstream and they're taking over their respective countries... We are not in a good place.

So guilliani is gonna be bailed out, Vince McMahon is gonna get a pardon too, same with Elon for whatever he wants to do, and pretty much every evil billionaire out there. I also think Trump has no interest in governing, and this administration will be Vance and his project 25 people running the show

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 25 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Regarding Elon, it's even better than that: he's probably getting a cabinet post. Say goodbye to the free and open internet where people are mean to him and daddy Trump. Goodbye encryption, and the "unauthorized" websites/web services. Hello tracking, dynamic pricing, and compulsive service use designed to drain your wallet.

Americans chose fuck around, and now we get to find out.

I can't feel as bad as I once did about mass shootings anymore. It's what we asked for.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 65 points 19 hours ago (16 children)

I have to remind myself that the only silver lining of being Californian and unable to really effect this outcome of this race is that we're also least likely to pay any personal consequences. Still bad, but I feel for people in states with less protections for LGBTQ and immigrants, and especially for people in countries that are completely fucked right now unless something crazy happens.

I know already that my state and several other blue states have been working on a contingency plan ever since Biden looked like a certain loss, months back. Then again, might make little difference if he goes full fascist, but a silver lining is a silver lining none the less.

Your state just voted to keep slavery btw.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I heard. We weren't immune to the low turn out, and if anything we had a lot more protest votes since we're a "safe blue" state. Actually I'm much more concerned about how it impacts some house races. We might be a bit screwed, and lazy Californians might be why.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 62 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (4 children)

Over here in Florida where they're banning books and censoring LGBT from schools. All my family (besides my parents and siblings) are Republicans and are actively voting to the person who is trying to legalize murdering me (trans, closeted) 🙃
My teacher is also an anti masker.
Send help pls.

Diabetes, please do your job.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 35 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

trump may very well die within the next 4 years, even 4 weeks after all that campaigning strain, but I am just no sure if JD wouldn't make everything worse if he got hold of the reins?

One thing is sure President Vance would be a total shit show.

And he'll hand this country to the rich in a silver platter.
