To be so disappointed in people - Trump voters especially

[notsorighteousthesedays]

I feel absolutely stunned that despite all that has been said and done Trump is likely to get the chance to make the world burn a little faster.

I am afraid for a future so full of anger and hate.

Looks like internal misogyny to me.

I am poor and I agree with her full stop. Trump in power last gave tax breaks for the rich and the poor didn't do as well as they thought. Also immigration helped America grow their construction etc is booming they rely on it. It's not the immigrants it's the posh bastards in the uk that don't level up areas like the last 14 years of tory gov

Yes those pesky vaginas get in the way of votes don't they!

Amen

I think as usual America threw up two awful candidates and one of the awful candidates got in.

Pretty accurate though tbf

Please show me one case of an assault in a bathroom by a trans person? I can show you many cases of an assault ON a trans person. Also, children aren't just going off one day and getting gender reassignment surgery against their wills or their parent's wills, that notion is incredibly stupid and simple fear mongering. It sounds like you took some soundbite, no doubt from Trump, did no research whatsoever and decided that was going to be the hill you die on. Well, good luck with that, if that's how you go through life I pity you.

He was always going to win.
The propaganda machine has won, in both America and across Europe - they’ve even convinced people the media is liberal and biased against ‘the right’ even though they own it…and that Elon Musk invented the stuff he simply bought 😂😂😂

Though, it has to be said, America’s ‘Left Wing’ is comparable only to a right side wing, flapping rightly, in the right direction at a right angle - that’s about how left it is 😂😂😂

Without RTFT

This is hugely down to the arrogance of Joe Biden leaving it so late to hand in the towel to someone that in their hearts the Democrats knew couldn't win, and until she became the candidate were roundly slagging off. You have to pitch a white, middle-aged man against Trump. This is not a time for diversity candidates no matter how fabulous they may be - and Harris wasn't that fabulous. Americans are (largely) stupid, greedy and unprogressive and you have to give them a candidate that this lump can accept.

Unfortunately, the democrats have drunk so much woke Kool-aid that they will struggle to get the common vote. They are tied into things most people know are fake.

Human nature will take authenticity over fakeness most of the time even if it’s authentically terrible.

Deep down people know the world is fucked so we are down to resource protection - Trump played that card.

Yep, why would anybody else be happy? Even if you agree with his policies he's an unhinged, thin skinned narcissist and an absolute moron. Not exactly someone you want to have to deal with as a world leader.

We know that you love the orange maniac and hate the Labour Government, but in the same way as we need to suck up the fact that Trump has won, you need to suck up the fact that Labour won here

Labour will be in for one term. They are deeply unpopular. The only reason Labour got in was we had an incumbent government that needed a shake up. Politics is becoming more right wing globally because people want borders and common sense politics. Until politicians recognise that we are going to get closer and closer to another world war.

Are you normally that racist?

What a ridiculous comment. It does matter how good a candidate is regardless of their sex. The democrats ran a crap campaign and switched their geriatric candidate midway. The election was theirs to lose and they lost it. They can’t expect success just because their candidate is a woman (just as they shouldn’t suffer defeat for this reason).

Protest voting against Harris because of Gaza is literally out of the frying pan and into the fire.

I agree with this.
Also Biden was so clearly unfit to run, yet they let him get partway through. A elderly man, with clear signs of both Parkinson’s and cognitive decline, it was bizarre that he was in office at all. The democrats seem to suffer from the same failing that Labour have here, that they are so convinced of their righteousness that they think everything they do is automatically the right thing, and ridicule people who don’t agree.

They are lemmings and have jumped off the cliff.

Unfortunately they may take the rest of us with them.

You cannot win thoughts and minds by shouting them down and demonizing them.

Trump’s managed it.

This isn't about race it's about national characteristics

This. Profoundly depressed and worried for the rest of the world about this result (and also just can't bear to see his odious orange face everywhere).

Well, considering that the next Presidential Primaries are about 9 months before the 2028 election, there’s no chance of training up the next leader in the meantime. We can expect a bunfight for the leadership role in early 2028.

This.

I think there's two things here.

The US population has long been indoctrinated into believing any kind of even mild socialism is bad.

This is on top of the quality of life for Americans now being lower than their parents.

This can't be ignored.

Completely agree - Trump will support a scrotched earth policy in Gaza. Where will those poor people go?
