God damn it, won’t Harris stop trying to transition everyone already? First literally every school child and immigrant, now shitty presidents! /s
I showed up to vote. But not enough others were excited to do so.
Climate change isn’t permanent. It has changed before and will change again. This will all sort itself out in the next several million years, you’ll see.
Yes, but at least this one has 91% critic rating on RT.
When it’s all counted, he will likely have about the same amount as he did last time.
It’s not that people voted for Trump, it’s that people didn’t vote for Harris.
Because the objective, non-partisan facts suggest the economy is doing well.
We just got the answer to that question yesterday.
We’re going to get a Supreme Court who says a sitting president can’t go to jail for any crime, including the state felonies he’s been convicted of that he can’t self pardon.
Trump got about the same amount of votes as he did in 2020. Harris got about 16 million less than Biden did.
It’s less that voters changed their mind and more that millions of voters will show up and vote Democrat when they care and stay home when they don’t.
The only silver lining is that maybe the Republicans will just forget about trans people until it’s time to stoke the hate again for the next election.
But yeah, very disappointing result. The country was willing to vote in a twice impeached convicted felon (whose sentencing will be postposed indefinitely, I suspect) over a gasp! brown woman.
The Senate does not have a filibuster-proof majority. They could potentially end the filibuster, but given that it’s the Republicans’ favorite tactic, there’s a decent chance they might not. Especially since the less extreme Republicans can use it as an excuse to let bills they don’t like die without having to vote against the.
The House margin is likely to be thin enough that the moderate Republicans will vote down the crazies. So even if the Senate ends the filibuster, the most egregiously stupid laws should still be stoppable.
Trump still has the ability to do a lot of damage, and he probably will. But if the Republicans piss off people too quickly, they’re likely to tank in 2026, with there being a decent chance to turn both the House and Senate blue and lame duck Trump for the rest of his presidency.
It’s going to be rough, but do not abandon hope.
