    I love how Economy is a high priority, yet they voted for the asshole known being the genius behind several bankruptcies. “The economy isn’t doing good, clearly we need someone who can fuck shit up to make it work!”

    Economy? Ah yes, let’s elect the person that wants to put 100% sanctions on literally everything. Masterful gambit sirs. Ya’ll can rot in hell!

      It’s more that Harris did such a terrible job that even the other side being literal Hitler didn’t save her.

        Bro, in don’t care how bad Harris is/was. If you prefer trump to her, it’s on you.

        As always, mathematically not voting is equivalent to voting for the winner, since it’s a vote that didn’t change the result. So yeah. The above statement rings true.

          As easy as it is to blame voters, the American electorate didn’t want fascism. That’s just false. Harris dug her own grave by actively discouraging voters who didn’t want fascism. This electorate is the same one that elected Biden in 2020 and (mostly) the same one that elected Obama in 2008 and 2012. They just wanted a real candidate and Harris wasn’t that.

        They elected the candidate backed by Russia, which is still the shining beacon of a global superpower for the Tankies out there. So I guess Trump is a perfectly fine representative of fascism, left or right.

          Leftist fascism is called fascism, because the term leftist doesn’t actually mean anything but fascism and communism do.

    Why is there such an obsession with immigration?

    Do you want to pick strawberries? It’s back-breaking and sucks.

    E: thanks for all the replies. I wrote this while pissed about the results, it was supposed to be rhetorical.

    At this point, work on helping immigrant friends and neighbors however you can, whether by helping with immigration paperwork or "other"methodologies.

        Turns out, if you kick out all the polish nurses and restaurant workers, you suddenly don’t have enough staff in those places. Who would have thought.

        Other than that, everything worked out perfectly. Oh, but then there’s also the Northern Ireland border. Well other than those two issues… actually, there are quite a few issues, but that’s besides the point. It’s been smooth sailing ever since, everyone is happy, it’s never been better.

          I wanted to say “You dropped this: /s”

          But then I realised the British only need a tone marker when they’re not being sarcastic.
