Looks like Trump could win?

[Kittykat86]

It's looking good for Trump. My dad is a total Trump hater and has been convinced that he won't win, especially since Kamala took over.
I don't know how the system works but is it too early to say that Trump is going to win?

I feel really miserable. Concerned about the rise of right wing ideology and losing faith in humanity.

Is it to do with Americans looking at the state of things and thinking 'Things could only get worse'?

Perhaps not wanting to spend money on immigrants getting sex changes in prison or the racism behind 'black men need more access to drugs'?

I mean, come on. The whole last 4 years have been an utter shitshow.

Good question. Where did that information come from?

On all the news feeds I saw, the people voting for the giant orange toddler were quoting completely false information

Russia has won this election for Trump by spamming SM with misinformation.

i don’t understand what you’re telling me about non Americans and the election.

I was replying to a poster that was asking how can Americans vote for Trump and I explained my personal view based on my experience when I lived there.

Netanyahu is evidently already making moves - removing the more dovish Gallant.

Expect Tel Aviv to really take off the gloves now.

@Bewareofthisonetoo
Please do not try to belittle what Russia has done / is doing to Ukraine. It's appalling.
You can't just roll your tanks into another country, kill people and occupy it just because you want to. Thousands and thousands of needless deaths just because Putin wants the old empire back.

I bet Putin is running his hands with glee now that Trump is coming back

Absolute bollocks. Harris would reinstate ’Roe’ so abortions up to 24 weeks, at the extreme.

I’m a teacher who doesn’t like the direction that the left has been taking us in.

Beware, that sounds like Chamberlain, ' Czechoslovakia is a faraway country of whom we know nothing.'
The argument about Putin is possible. Buy would he nuke knowing we can nuke him back? If we roll over & US turns a blind eye, he might decide to realise further dreams of extra land..

The congratulatory messages have started flowing, Cuban supported Kamala

Well isn’t she better than Trump? Ridiculous comment.

Sorry but wasn't there less fighting in the world when Trump was last president?

These sorts of men only listen to other men.

The Baltics if Trump weakens NATO commitments.

They paid for their arrogance.

Why on Earth did they persist with Biden?
And Kamala’s biggest positive was that she wasn’t Trump.

I was hoping she’d win but at the same time I wasn’t convinced she’d make a good president.

I hate Trump personally for his probable sexual assaults & proved misogyny. But imo he's the sort of person who says outrageously unpleasant things but doesn't follow them through, mostly.

The crucial difference this time, though is that he is now surrounded by far more dangerous people who absolutely will follow them through.

I wonder how long it will take for the idiots who voted for him to realise what they've done.

Good.

Thank you. My mum has been brainwashed w qanon & we're UK. SM has really upped the potential for reasonable people to be fooled.. if only there were proper restraints on it.

Right wing ideology? Do you mean people who are educated & have enough common sense to know that a biological male can never be a female & should not be trying to infiltrate women's sports.

Are these "right wing" people very concerned adults who will not stand by & let innocent children be pumped up with hormones & undertake castration & breast mutilation in the name of gender ideology?

Same. Utterly horrifying.

All we can do is hold true to our values and live by them. Be the change we want to see in the world. Stand together, like we did after the race riots earlier in the year, to show solidarity and stand up to dangerous ideologies.

@Llhaaf what direction? Neither the UK or the us have had left wing leadership?

Unless you're referring to the centrist ground of the Biden administration or the past few months of a mostly centrist labour party?

Or do you mean the direction where we have things like human rights, maternity pay and the equality act.

Are you completely stupid? Putin invaded Ukraine. He wasn’t cornered. Ukraine isn’t a “small and insignificant amount of land…” it’s home to many people. I’m damn sure if the UK was invaded you’d want other countries to help us, for now we’ve got NATO but who knows tor how much longer if Trump is back in charge.

Oh they won't learn. And don't you date take their celebrities away.

I work with a lot of Americans.
One of the reasons they (some of them) choose Trump is because he has said he will end double taxation on Americans living abroad.

That’s 4 million votes which are concentrated in swing states. These are ordinary people who get a nasty tax bill every year. So residents for the purposes of tax, but not resident for the purposes of getting any of the upsides (eg Home state fees for their kids in their state college).

There is also a group who are tribal

And there is another group of malcontents who want to stick it to the man.

I find Trump odious, btw!

No but he probably will go after other countries like Sweden. He has this in his mind.
