Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.

On the plus side maybe we will start hearing about the horrors at the US Border that magically stopped in november 2020.

Well I guess the good news is that it no longer matters if they learn anything? These election results make it clear that going forward they’ll have about as much effect on lawmaking as a dead hamster. It’s even possible that, except for serving as a convenient cardboard bogeyman, they’ll otherwise cease to exist at all.

Id go so far as to say they’re paid good money to explicitly not learn from this.

Democrats are learning in real time what the real function of a controlled opposition party is in a capitalist dictatorship.

Every time i think the US can’t get any more ridiculously retarded, I’m teached otherwise…
A billionaire, convicted felon, moron and over all most likely a damn pedo gets elected to be the top-clown of the clown-college.
I’m sorry for every sane murican who has to endure that. And especially for everyone that is not “normal”…

I agree with your message, but please try to avoid the r-slur. Its an ableist slur and quite triggering for many people, even if you mean it innocently.

I feel like people are just rolling over and taking it? He shouldn’t even be eligible because of the 14th Amendment “no insurrection” thing.

Democrats vocally came out against getting him off the ballot for his crimes alleging ‘you can only beat him at the ballot box’, but it turns out they can’t.

Only if you’re white. If not, do as your told or you may be assaulted, imprisoned, or shot dead. Sometimes you’ll do what your told and those things will still happen.

I just hope that he will follow through with quickly finishing the war in Ukraine.

Perhaps if you’re some combination of white, or straight, or cisgender, or neurotypical, or rich, then this is good news. For anyone else its dire.

I am Ukrainian. I have no idea whether Slavic people are considered white or not, but I am quite sure I’d benefit from a literal war in my country ending.

I’m certain you would! What makes you think that ending Russia’s horrifying invasion is more likely under a trump-ruled USA?

He will. By fucking capitulating completely, and letting Putler walk all over Europe.

I’m sure he will, by giving Ukraine to Russia and letting them murder Zelensky.

Wouldn’t happen, but even this is way better than giving it to Zelensky.
and letting them murder Zelensky.
No way. I mean that would be awesome of course, bringing justice to that murderer who killed hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians, terrorizing the rest for three years and not letting people escape. But that would never happen, USA almost certainly gave Zelensky some guarantees that he will be able to escape to USA after this war ends.
