    I see so many people talking about passports and moving. I’m on a fixed income, and barely got an apartment with my mom cosigning. I’m fucking stuck in a red state and I feel so fucking screwed.

    Also lets stop acting like most of the voters were misled, lied to, bamboozled into voting for trump. They saw the racism, sexism, hate, and disrespect for the law and others and they LIKED IT. They want this. They aren’t idiots they’re fascists.

      It’s important to remember there are 340 million people in the US. Only 70 million, counted so far, voted for Trump. Of those 70 million people, many of them will also be targeted by the fascists, who make up a minority of that group. We outnumber the fascists. We do a disservice to ourselves and others by making it seem otherwise.

      The number one polled issue for Republican voters was the economy. They got duped by Fox fucking News. Jokes on them when the Republicans inevitably tank the economy.

      The real question is will the mass deportations or the tariffs do it first. Hopefully the tariffs. If we’re going to be dysfunctional as a country, we might as well do it before making camps.

        Conversely, at most 68 million people voted for Harris. That means roughly 270 million people either didn’t vote or voted for fascists, which means they’re either so disenfranchised they couldn’t vote, are idiots, were scared for their livelihoods and lied to (meaning they’re still idiots, but at least they’re also cowardly), or are fascists themselves.

        I don’t know when we’ll learn, but given our ever-deteriorating education system I don’t think it’ll be anytime soon.

            No sense, but I’d like to see the morons who kept bullshitting that there is any kind of sense in not voting. The dumbest fucking people anywhere

                  A burning building doesn’t get put out by watching it burn. And the fire can in fact spread to the next building. Things can always get worse because there is no bottom. Things will only get better by making them better.

                  The accelerationists got what they wanted. And everyone, including them, are worse off for it. We’ve gone from not utilizing the limited time window, to avert the worst of climate change, to choosing to use that time to pollute as much as possible. We may in fact succeed in reaching 5°C before 2100.

    I’m not a US person, but I would like to know what exactly is so bad about the trump man.

    Besides looking funi and not being all that cool, did his win last time influence trans people that much?

    Or is he just really pushing the anti-trans agenda harder this time?

    Maybe I missed a twitter post or something, I’m just confused about why people are only now thinking of moving out.
