"most gender critical feminists are planted firmly on the left of politics, but you knew that."

Ya think?

Which just shows how much their hatred of transgender women has f*cked with their value system, that so many of them have raised their voices in support of the fascist, openly misogynist adjudicated rapist Trump, because of the Republicans enthusiasm for persecuting transgender people.

if you call persecuting transgender women stopping the use of puberty blockers and removing males from female spaces like
sport...
I call that basic safeguarding.

Over 500 people in America have already been killed by shooting this year. You are celebrating a continued death rate of the same order or higher, to say nothing of catastrophic gun-related injuries.

The country depends on undocumented immigrants for labour. What will happen if they are all deported?

He just wants the bad apples removed. The ones that have criminal intent .

America has too many of it's people in dire need, not being heard, no medical cover etc. They see Trump as a saviour.

We can only wait and watch what will occur with President Trump part two.

Have you just landed from Mars OP. What exactly have you seen that is so shocking.

And in any case what is so shocking about wanting to secure your country’s borders? 8 million illegal migrants have come into the US on Biden’s watch. That is more shocking than anything Trump says.

It’s not a novel idea. Your reaction is giving ‘faux rage’.

Biden actually deported many more illegal immigrants than Trump did during his previous term in office.

Tuning back in to Mumsnet after a few days' break after all the Elon threads... I thought we collectively decided in those threads that no-one is allowed to have opinions about other countries that aren't theirs?

Rather amusing to see Mandelson perform a sharp volte face, and genuflect towards Trump, whilst Starmer has slammed on the brakes re the Chagos Islands. Talk about two-faced.

I hope the new administration in DC exacts revenge on Labour, for the Harris campaign support, for the vitriol from Lammy, Rayner, Streeting, Khan, and Milliband, to name a few.

I also hope that Musk now takes off the gloves, and does a proper job on Starmer.

What, you are breathlessly waiting for an unelected foreign billionaire to further interfere in the UK's politics and defame the elected prime minister? What a lovely patriotic sentiment. Words simply fail me.

Yup. I read the Morning Star and know that biological sex is immutable and matters in life and law.

Peace and Socialism ✌

The most amazing thing that's happened in recent years is the ideological marriage between the misogynist fascist right and gender critical feminists in their hate and longing to persecute transgender women.

Just staggering.

"You just elected a man from a Party that handed over British girls to be raped by gangs of Muslim men because to do anything to stop it would have cost Labour votes."

This is nuclear level disinformation and brain rot that will fuck us all.

Musk is a danger to humanity.

People from the UK are much more knowledgeable about US politics/culture than people from the US are about UK politics and culture. Elon Musk knows absolutely fuck all about the UK but amplifies the views of right-wing fascist thug, grifter and convicted criminal, Tommy Robinson (not even his real name). Tommy Robinson's illegal antics collapsed a grooming trial. Imagine how the victims felt, giving their testimony and it all be for nothing due to this cunt.

You support an adjudicated sex offender in Trump and his other cabinet picks so how you have the brass neck (British saying) to spout your uninformed drivel about UK politics on here is baffling.

I'm pleased Trump is now President. He will sign an executive order today which means women's rights will be restored and the live medical experiment on children ends.

No, he won't.

He's said he will, he also said on day one he will lower grocery prices (which have already risen sharply since he was elected), that he will repeal every executive order from the Biden presidency, he will immediately stop all illegal immigration, he will pardon all those convicted after January 6, and also made reference to the "race horse" theory.

He's going to destroy America and has used certain issues as a dog whistle

izimbra · 20/01/2025 08:43

"He is completely amoral"

This.

Trump does what's good for Trump.

Always.

Democrats need to do less of what you're all doing here, ie. slagging off Trump.
What they need to do is to say how exactly they'll improve things. Then extricate themselves thoroughly from the lunatic cult of identify politics, which has alienated the majority of the population.

The ignorance of your posts is staggering.

Trump has slagged off Democrats relentlessly.

He's called them 'lunatics' and 'demonic'. He's said they're traitors who are destroying the US from within.

He's said they're traitors should be locked up.

He's ridiculed Biden. Repeatedly said that Biden has 'ruined' and 'destroyed' America and made it a laughing stock around the world,

90% of Trump's speeches on the stump were him name calling and ridiculing his opponents. He called Harris 'lazy' and 'mentally defective'.

So apparently relentless criticism of political opponents is ok and a vote winner when Trump does it, but is a vote loser when the Democrats do it?

Also it would help if you had actually paid any attention at all to information about policies proposed by the Democrats. All that stuff clearly passed you by.

I believe we've seen the last free and fair, properly democratic America presidential election for a long, long time. American exceptionalism will not protect it - or the constitution - from Trump.

No guard rails. Immunity from prosecution. ONLY enablers in positions of power. Control of both houses. No morals whatsoever. Doesn't give a shit about America or American people.

I'm avoiding the news cycle at the moment.

I think he will change the law so that he never has to leave the White House again and who will stop him when he has the law makers in his pocket?
I genuinely fear civil war in America when he does this. He is completely amoral with nobody to stop him targeting any dissenters and imprisoning them. Once you control the law you can do as you want.
Then there are his violent supporters who will be happy to kill anyone Trump bad mouths on social media.
I foresee an underground resistance movement similar to occupied France in WW2.
I feel so sorry for Americans who didn’t vote for this sociopath.

No it doesn’t.

And wages would go up for those remaining if undocumented migrants are deported. Not that this will happen, given the sheer size of the task.

The underground black market economy in the US was estimated at 3 trillion dollars in 2009 (can't find better stats because it's no longer tracked). Good luck deporting all the illegals sustaining the US economy.

Considering the US debt ($36 trillion), a stagnated economy in a divided country without the social fabric to held it together, let's see if what Trump says translates into effective action. 🙄

I know nothing about politics, but his rhetoric was shocking. Those videos about illegal immigrants, the ludicrous claims he made… I’m in disbelief that this is happening.

I agree.

It's like any minute the universe is going to punch us on the shoulder and say,

"Nah! Only joking!"
