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.

Exactly!
You said it much better than I did.
It's obviously what he's saying, even if you don't like how he's saying it.

A woman has never won the election Kamala Harris is an attorney and that still wasn't enough. They should have put a man up against Trump he would never have won.

Having violent fantasies about a woman being shot by a firing squad isn't violent. Right-oh. That's why Trump was investigated for his remarks by an Arizona prosecutor. This one is from Reuters

Speaking to a local TV station on Friday, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes said Trump might have violated state laws that prohibit death threats.
"I have already asked my criminal division chief to start looking at that statement, analyzing it for whether it qualifies as a death threat under Arizona's laws"

But of course, all these comments Trump makes about grabbing women by the pussy, that immigrants eat cats and dogs, etc, we are just misinterpreting him, because he is such a fine human being.

I hope Canada is reinforcing its borders.

Do you think the cases that @ItsFunToBeAVampire highlighted are OK? The Democrats actively put legislation in place to enable them. Can you see that women's rights are a wider issue than abortion? Can you see that people who want to protect women's rights might have had a difficult decision to make at this election?

Rapists should not be in women's prisons. Not sure why you've spelled 'people' as 'peepul' as it just makes you look 'as thick as fuck'.

You might have to an influx of Americans will come your way.

Ask yourself this… do these actions come BEFORE or AFTER the annexation of Crimea? As for the Uk citizen… who is a former double agent… well, it’s crude but not random is it?

we lived through it before. we have no control over it. can't get stressed about it, although I am disappointed and upset. I can't let it ruin my life though. Focus your energy on doing something positive instead, perhaps promoting activities that are counter to Trump's politics or protecting the environment or something.

That’s how I imagine people with the intellect and comprehensions skills (or lack of) that you’ve shown with your comment speak.

But it's not a violent fantasy is it?

You want it to be so you have to lie.

Bollocks - if you do not fundamentally believe in far-right nazi things ppl saying you're a far right nazi will not suddenly turn you into a far right nazi.

I've been called both things for voting to leave the EU & for thinking men cannot be women yet I'd sooner cut both my hands off than vote Tory (not that I think they are far-right nazis but they are too right-wing for me) let alone the knobbers at Reform.

It's just such a lazy fucking argument

There are a lot of Americans who have already left....Portugal is a popular destination. I left 20 years ago with the passage of the Homeland Security Act. My historian spidey senses were tingling. Glad I did.

He's won the popular vote this time too.

Only the second president in US history to achieve two non consecutive terms. Quite an achievement 🙌

Also - can one of the Trump apologists fans on here explain how the Democrats managed to 'steal' the last election, but not this one? We all know that if Trump had lost, he would have kicked off with all the law suits and riots etc, but strangely I don't think that will happen now he's won? How come when the Democrats are actually in power, they're less good at stealing elections than when they're not?

It truly is a mystery for our times.

I feel weary about the prospect of the continuous over the top news cycle for the next four years. It felt like it had calmed down until the election campaigning began. I know what the US president does or says is always going to be news but I hope it doesn't eclipse everything else in the way it did 2016-2020.

"No one is calling for abortions at birth"

You are mistaken. Abortions on request up until birth are freely available in Oregon. You can literally request an abortion the day before the baby is due.

The laws are similar, I believe, in New Mexico, Colorado, Minnesota, Michigan, Maryland, New Jersey and Vermont.

It didn't really eclipse Brexit though did it? What fun times the years from 2016 onwards have been.

No, I didn't say every single person that voted for his is unintelligent, I said Americans are largely unintelligent. Some unintelligent people will have voted for Harris. The fact you can't extrapolate from a basic sentence isn't a sign of high intellect though.

Just because I support a party and their policies, I don’t have to agree with everything said by the candidate. If you’re a Harris supporter, do you agree with open borders, and that men should be allowed in womens’ sports, or that illegal immigrants can get free sex change treatment? To answer your question, I’m not racist, but not sure you will be satisfied as I’m absolutely against open borders, so guessing you will say that goes hand in hand with being racist….

The problem is Kamala Harris has had four years to prove she's any good at the job by being VP and what has she achieved? Even if you hate Trump and dislike the things he did, he can point to having done all sorts of things that his supporters like. What has Harris done for liberal voters? A Harris presidency would be four years of status quo and voters seem to want action.

I feel gaslit that he is even allowed to stand as a candidate in the US let alone actually become president, twice.

Putin will be very happy that his puppet was re-elected.

I'm not sure that some women care really after reading this thread.
Women are actually dying in the US due to the restrictive abortion laws Trump was responsible for. Real, dead women as a direct result of the last Trump presidency.
Can't say I've heard of anyone dying because a trans women beat them in a swimming race but, apparently, it's a much bigger concern.
If these women cared SO much about women and womens rights they wouldn't support/condone someone who is very open about how little he values women.
How is one able to reconcile such hypocrisy?

Well I'm not going to go through all the thread but since your response I've read six positive or anti-negative comments in the next few posts.

I am delighted by Trump's victory.

It's good news for women and girls everywhere that the most powerful politician in the world can say categorically what a woman is. Trump, Vance and co will not be afraid to stand up and state that a man cannot magically become a woman just by virtue of putting on a dress, a wig and a bit of lippy.

Trump's administration will also put a halt to the sterilisation and mutilation of children and the gender-woo ideology infiltrating schools. It's a good day for democracy and for women's rights.
