Donald Trump defeats Kamala Harris to become the next U.S. president, NBC News projects
Trump will make history as the 45th and now 47th president, NBC News projects, saying he will fix an ailing country and despite warnings he will rule as an authoritarian.
oh yea, it'll be all "we need to come together" and "we're going to help everybody" for the next 2 months
then, the instant he steps into office, freedom of speech: gone. freedom of the press: gone. EPA: gone. dept. of education: gone. SEC: gone. consumer protections, civil rights, equality, accountability, justice-- all. fucking. gone.
expect mass imprisonments, assassinations, and other removals
"that can't happen in this country!!" you might be saying. why not? because of "checks and balances"? LOL
you have about 2 months to prepare your asshole
People were like ‘the president wouldn’t assassinate his own people or work with enemy foreign nations to do so!’ but then they turned a blind eye to Trump’s security ‘lapses’ and the distinctly sharp rise in the deaths of our undercover operatives around the globe.
He will sell out America, spill its blood for his own gain, and he already has.
Also, remember that this follows HOT on the heels of SCOTUS saying "basically anything a President does is legal". This theoretically means Trump and his admin could sidestep Congress entirely, on anything. Trump was already ruling by EO last term, but I suspect we haven't seen anything yet.
Kinda makes you wonder why Joe Biden didn't take advantage of that at any point over the last several months when so much is at stake.
There's actually so much at stake that I lost track of it all. Absolutely mind blowing that a single American could vote for him let alone the majority. I do not understand why Americans hate America.
just read up on 1930s germany
Is this what he did in previous term ?
Mass imprisonment and assassinations?
Yes.
So glad the community is getting indundated with a bunch of people who never post here celebrating the win of the fascist that is going to put people in concentration camps.
Yeah I'm making sure to tag all of them for future tracking. Learned that lesson with the NAZIs, if this is ever over not going to let them quietly slink away. When this inevitably starts going south and these same assholes are bitching and whining about how the economy is a trash fire and their rights are being shit all over I'll be there to remind them they wanted this.

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.
There is going to be an assload of fingerpointing.
Here is my take: even if Kamala won, there is a deep rot that we would be in denial about. Trump should have broken the Republican party but did not and instead galvanized support through misinformation, lies, and hatred. That would not have been cured if Kamala won. At least now we have to be honest with the state of the US.
Still, we can hope he dies of a heart attack.
The people who will be in power around him might well get rid of him themselves for all the use they want. He's getting them to power. Vance and Musk and Thiel and whoever the fuck else don't care about Trump. They want power.
Trump dying of a heart attack (or whatever) is even more frightening with Vance in the mix.
They won the popular vote. We lost as hard as we could and we can see plainly that mid terms are hopeless too.
I hope this fucker has a massive stroke, or his dementia goes on overdrive and he undresses at his inauguration. Fuck this asshole
Then we get President Couch F*cker. Ugh.
At least then there might be infighting over who gets to be the next cult leader.
Democracy suffers another blow by its own hand
This was the kill shot for democracy or what we called democracy.
Too many misogynists in this country.
And racists, and just antipathic people in general, and those traits overlap.
Compared to 4 years ago, his popular vote hasn't changed much, but over 10m blue voters didn't come back. That made all the difference. Joe Biden I did that sticker
That's it. I'm making an ostrich account to put my head in the sand and only subscribe to happy place communities.
The American people's fight has just started. This is far from the only important election.
But chances are they're fucked.
Good luck. I've been trying that for years and somehow the darkness always creeps in, usually in the form of American politics :(
Ostriches don't actually do that, FYI.
What a privilege to have.
We deserve what's coming to us.
Americans.. maybe.. at least those stupid enough to vote for this guy again.
I feel bad for the Americans who knew what Trump stood for and voted Harris to at least prevent that.The rest of the world doesn't deserve this though.. And Trump will still affect them and their lives in many ways.
So what position in the white house will Musk get now?
Secretary of Cost Cutting. I'm not joking.
Bandit Baron I guess
Secretary of State if he gets an actual office. You could do a lot worse than Rex Tillerson.
Rex Tillerson was a legitimate good conservative pick for the position and made me think maybe Trump would surround himself with competent people. Well, on Rogan's podcast he said his biggest regret was not picking loyal people. We won't have to worry about accidental competency this go round.
Oh ffs.
It's all my fault. I voted for Stein.
It's not.
