    Move on? No.

    The next 4 years are going to be awful. Your choices are pretty much to fight like hell to limit the damage to your community, tune it all out to protect yourself from the stress, or find a way out of the country, at least until after the next election (god willing).

    Sure!

    So how about this climate change huh? Ecological collapse in just a couple of decades from what I hear. And really no one with significant power anywhere doing anything but speeding it up.

    Discuss.

      There’s no moving on from this, it’s the last peaceful election we are gonna get.

      The idiots trying to downplay this are going to be very suprised in 3-4 years when they get drafted so the Republicans can declare martial law and stay in power for life

      Right? That was possibly the last election for president our country will hold. No, I can’t just move on from it.

      Like Biden will likely have to leave the country once he’s no longer president, along with his whole family. Taylor Swift might have to leave. Who knows what this raging narcissist will do.

      A man who will rape, which is sexual torture, doesnt care about you or your body except how it pleases him. Including killing you. We are very fucked. He will punish us until his narcissistic ego feels satiated.

      The US has the top military budget and nuclear weapons, which was just given to an open fascist who is clearly in the pocket of a foreign power, which has an interest in destroying our country.

        No. You and we all are too. Unless you Simpson the result this is it. The end. Go pic your damn last song for your and everyone’s life you got, maybe, 5 years left but I doubt that much.

    If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.

    Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?

    Yeah sure. Just find someone who can put me in a medical coma, and I’ll ‘forget’ all about it.

    No. No, we can’t “move on” from the election, because elections have consequences. We will never be able to “move on” because we will be continuously fucked by those consequences, in the ass with no lube, for the rest of our lives.

    Even if Trump and the GOP give up power and the US holds free and fair elections in four years, an absolute fuck-ton of permanent damage will have been done in the meantime.

      There are so many things at stake, but people really don’t know how bad Trump’s supreme court has fucked the environment already. Getting the average voter to care about it won’t happen until it’s far too late. I try to just not think about it.

      Like, what exactly? States are still moving forward with their climate change plans. The states who aren’t, have a very small impact and are largely canceled out by those who do. Deportations will likely go up, support for Ukraine will likely evaporate, but the impact to citizens inside of the US are largely unchanged. The economy isn’t going to change course, and we’ve been getting fucked in the ass with no lube by all of our administrations going back to Reagan. The ceiling isn’t falling, it’s been fallen for quite some time.

    Ngl seeing the American left wing bubble burst is wild and entertaining. I mean, I would never want Trump to be elected but people have gotten a huge reality check of what sort of online environment they were exposed to.

      It is crazy to me all the things I’ve heard people just casualty say. There are people who straight up think he is going to start creating death camps.

      He might not create policies you like but he is the president not a fascist dictator from WWII

        He literally promised to create concentration camps.

        He is also a known liar, and I personally believe he’ll deliver that one partially to a small ratio that is still horrible but too small to count as the promise. But I can’t really fault people from fearing it’s not a lie.

        You don’t understand he said this will be the last election. That’s obviously one of the few truths out of his mouth among the millions of lies.

        His ex wife, who he possibly murdered, said under oath he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches on his bedside table. He may not be Hitler, but he’s emulating him as close as possible. He will kill the entire planet. AMOC collapse is underway. We are all actively dead now. Good luck.

            I have NEVER wanted to be wrong more than in this very instant… but I’ve also never been more scared that we’re all right: Hitler 2.0 is about to make life suck for 99% of the population of the planet.
