I think I speak for most of the world right now when I say this:
Fuck.
What in the nazi fuck is wrong with you, america?
- A lot of Americans think when he talks about doing bad things, it’s all talks,
- when he talks about making the economy better, it’s all in good faith,
- all the “necessary evil” can be undone in the next election cycle,
- and business controls the narrative, that would highly benefit under trump.
Yeah, and boring and ineffective liberals that trying to take the moral high ground every time the right takes yet another low.
Honestly I’m not sure American businesses are very smart.
I imagine corpos do want trump, but it seems as short sighted as going after quarterly profits ahead of all else.
Ok, so you own a corporation and want those pesky “water break” regulations that are really cutting into your profits to go away. So you back trump. He tweets out “WORKERS DRINKING WATER ON THE CLOCK, SAD AND BIGLY BAD” and they decide that’s an official act and you can squeeze an extra 15 minutes out of your workers.
Meanwhile, he puts a 20% tariff on all your inputs.
I don’t support, but could at least understand, companies wanting this guy out of some rank greed. But he’s articulated positions that would be awful for most businesses. Every serious economist has looked at his tariff plan and gone “oh yea, that would destroy the economy”
Corporations are chasing after short-term profits, not long-term ones. The only job I used to have was literally bankrupted by my then boss to avoid paying taxes on his other business ventures.
Funny how those talking points mirror the ones Russian troll factories would try to push inside their respective bubbles.
Lots. I don’t feel so good Mr stark.
They’ve been gutting our education system for decades. Most of us over here are so unbelievably fucking stupid.
Thanks for the new expletive.
what the nazi fuck, bro?
I thought this was the minority but the voting base is BJs dad apparently.
And somehow voters said yes to this.
Don’t forget those that sat on their hands and did nothing. Inactivity is an action.
They said yes because most are only looking at a rose colored picture of Trump. A lot of effort has gone into identifying the different ideological bubbles and catering an image of Trump specifically tailored for them, in the way only money can. We will likely never know to what extent given how fast transparency has been disappearing.
Just over half of those who voted said yes, there’s still a lot of us who voted against this and watched in horror as the remainder proceeded to fuck us over. From those of us who voted against this: we tried our best and hate this as much as the rest of the sane world. Good luck trying to salvage things out there, it’s going to be increasingly difficult for us to act openly against this soon. If you can, put the thumbscrews to us in whatever way you can. We’ll suffer, but then again we’re already going to be.
It’ll be extremely bitter sweet, one day seeing a AmeriNazi and asking em WTF they were thinking electing a guy that literally says the economy will be worse, to boost the economy.
Have crash it to get the growth duh!
/s but I legit thinks that’s what is going to happen.
Narrator voice: they think it’s only applicable for those they don’t like.
When people tell you what they are, believe them.
Fuck Trump and fuck you Shill Stein donkeys too
You mean those pro-Stein accounts that won’t post another peep now?
I wonder what universalmonk is doing now. Probably spending their big fat new commission/check.
Stein didn’t make a dent anywhere that mattered, Trump voters did this.
Less Trump voters showed up compared to last time. So if anything, the ~14 million Dem voters that showed up for Biden yet decided to not show up for Harris are more at fault.
It’s their fault, not the party or the candidate who failed to give them a reason to leave the house 🙄
If the biggest criminal the white house has ever seen becoming the president again isn’t enough of a reason to leave the house then they’re braindead.
Abuser logic. The only people directly responsible for Trump are Trump voters.
And the ones who couldn’t bother to vote against him and defend the white house from becoming infested again with the most criminal and corrupt scum it’s ever seen
I’m not gonna blame the people that failed to defend me more than the people they need to defend me from.
Trump is going to increase MUH LEGAL immigration by a lot. Wages are going to go down as result and unions will be gutted. Will police still support Trump when they end up making 18 USD/HR? That’s what he means by hardships.
Corporations are going to see a huge increase in profits because they’re going to cut labor cost by importing cheap labor.
I think you misunderstand the method of imposing the hardship. The police will be better paid and there to impose the planned hardship on the ordinary people, including many of the people who always vote for him.
It’s honestly rather strange and depressing watching the US from the outside. I have rarely seen the most downtrodden segment of the population being so gung ho about the worst parts of the system that’s been oppressing them their whole lives. It’s amazing to me to see so many super patriotic black people for example. How? For what? Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you for centuries? It’d be less depressing and more funny if it wasn’t for the massive destructive power these people get access to when they win, power that they subsequently unleash on the rest of the world.
Why would you blindly defend the same structures that’ve been oppressing you
college, housing benefits… healthcare.
funny, the exact same things conservatives have made impossible to obtain…
Likely the police will make even more, and will be hired to bust unions.
Police are going to support trump because hes all “back the blue”, because soon they will all be his henchmen.
He said he will be a dictator for one day. Also mused in detail about how great it would be to have one really tough day or night where the gloves came off. Sounded like a strong vigilante rallying call, to every raging nutjob who really wants to go out and kick some gay ass, or whatever.
I mean Hitler made a similar speech announcing the night of the long knives.
If anyone reproaches me and asks why I did not resort to the regular courts of justice, then all I can say is this. In this hour I was responsible for the fate of the German people, and thereby I became the supreme judge of the German people. I gave the order to shoot the ringleaders in this treason, and I further gave the order to cauterise down to the raw flesh the ulcers of this poisoning of the wells in our domestic life. Let the nation know that its existence – which depends on its internal order and security – cannot be threatened with impunity by anyone! And let it be known for all time to come that if anyone raises his hand to strike the State, then certain death is his lot.
Well they will have to go through my guns first. I’m not going down without a fight.
At this point I think maybe he will have america burn down so something decent can be built this time. I only feel bad for the rest of the world they are trying to take with them
Maybe Canada can invade again?
Not with the conservatives in power
The inflation will be yuge!
Have opinions on what Dems did wrong or where we go from here?
Please post your ideas here if you’d like: !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world
Project 2025 is going to be nasty.

Honestly Im happy he’ll win. America was on a road to fascism since the 60’s and there was nobody who really wanted to stop it. It’s better if it gets there faster.
This world is so fucked up anyways, there was never any hope, only delays.
Why better if it gets there faster? How many people have to die for this BS. Woman are already being sacrificed to the dark gods.
Get a load of this guy giving up already
After Hitler, our turn
If precedent is anything to go by, you and your accelerationist bullshit are dead wrong.
