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.

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.

I, for one most definitely have underestimated how reluctant Americans still are to elect a woman for president. I thought Hilary didn't get elected because of her baggage.

The Independent literally called it that. Not just me. The Arizona prosecutor investigated his comments as a death threat. Not just me.
Sticking to what I said, which is truthful.

Funniest and most ridiculous comment on here. Americans are largely unintelligent? Let’s hope they’re not on MN, because if they base the UKs intelligence on some of the posts on this site, then we’re screwed..

She and Biden were both dreadful candidates - the Democrats have been warned/known about this for years so it's baffling why they didn't do anything about it and get some stronger candidates lined up.

@Another2Cats Really? I had to go and ask ChatGPT whether abortions were available up until birth in America and this was the response I got:

No, abortions up until birth are not broadly available or legal across the United States. Abortion laws vary significantly by state, and most states have restrictions on when an abortion can be performed, with many states restricting access after fetal viability (typically around 24 weeks, though this can vary). Here’s a general breakdown of how U.S. abortion laws handle late-term abortion:
1. Fetal Viability Limits: Most states restrict abortions after the point at which a fetus is considered viable, which generally occurs around 24 weeks of pregnancy. In many states, abortions after this point are only allowed if the mother’s life or health is at serious risk or if there are severe fetal abnormalities.
2. Exceptions for Health and Life: In states where abortions are restricted after viability, exceptions are typically made if the pregnant person’s life or health is at risk. Health exceptions often consider both physical and mental health but can vary in definition by state.
3. Bans on Specific Gestational Ages: Some states have more restrictive gestational limits, like 20-week bans. In recent years, some states have moved to restrict abortions even earlier, at around 6-12 weeks.
4. “Late-Term” Abortions: The term “late-term abortion” is not a medical term but is sometimes used politically. Medically, abortions performed later in pregnancy are rare and often occur due to severe fetal anomalies or serious risks to the mother’s health. These abortions are typically only available in cases of severe medical need.
5. Federal Law and State Differences: Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, states have more power to set their own abortion laws. As a result, there is a patchwork of laws across the country. Some states have significantly restricted or banned abortion altogether, while others, like California, New York, and Illinois, have more permissive laws.

In summary, while some states have less restrictive laws on later-term abortions, these are generally only available in medically necessary situations, not as elective procedures up until birth.

A male child in early puberty who is then started on puberty blockers followed by cross sex hormones will be infertile and never have an orgasm.

so - chemically castrated.

Don’t forget that the monstrous Rachel Levine lobbied WPATH to remove age limits for “gender affirming” hormones and surgeries on children.

Im not pleased Trump won but I’m pleased that evil bastard, Levine is out.

😂 give over. Seriously??

Why are people asking Chat GPT things? There are better ways to counter misinformation. Is Chat GPT just how people think now?

This is such a valid point.

It's hard to comprehend how initially the binary choice was between Biden and Trump and then latterly Harris and Trump.

It's very difficult to understand how a country as large as the USA gives its electorate such a poor choice in the first place to select from two elderly men.

How did the system bypass the younger candidates etc?

The arrogance and mishandling of Biden even standing again was just crazy when it was clear to see that he wasn't capable even of serving out his current term let alone serving a second one. Then the lying that The President is just fine etc when clear to see he wasn't. Then the VP steps forward and suddenly is presented as the best candidate for the job etc. etc.

She is a woman and black. There is a very racist tradition of black women in the US of being perceived as bossy and 'uppity' and unfortunately I suspect this racist trope resonated with some voters. That's tragic.

No evidence of the castration of children though and in the UK, 18 year olds are adults.

Same old tired nonsense that was trotted out by Tory voters before our GE this year.

I'm GC and I do not vote on one issue - why would you?

Also you are rather easily led if you think the Trump administration cares about female rights. Being intolerant of people does not make you a supporter of women.

I think they care as much about the prison operations as they cared about the squirel.

Because it takes two split seconds to generate a summary to copy and paste, confirming something I already know.

Racism is not gender orientated. You never have a situation where people will say, ‘ah I’m racist, but only against black women, not black men’, and we know that Obama was elected by the Americans. Twice. So racist allegations against the American population is pretty false. Or no more so than anywhere else in the world.

I found this in national archives.gov

perhaps this is why so many voted for him?

Trump launched a trade war against China during his last term and pushed China policy on the right track, so his poor personal conduct may not mean that his administration is useless. He is not good at building consensus with allies, which is indeed worrying because now the United States should work with allies to contain the evil axis that poses a real threat to the rest of the world. Adopting isolationism is short-sighted and dangerous.

Ah so you've changed the parameters?

What has what happens in the UK got to do with the American election results or have you found yourself of on the wrong thread?

And how many women are having abortions at term, and how many of those are due to incompatibility with life?

Do you think newspapers are neutral or infallible? If I linked a Daily Mail piece, would you think it must be correct?

And the (Democrat) Arizona prosecutor can say they're investigating something as a death threat all they like, it isn't going to get anywhere though as it's obviously not, they're just playing to their own side (you).

Anyone can watch the video about what he said and hear the truth, and when they do, do you think they're going to trust people who blatantly lie about it?

That's what I said earlier, when someone will lie to my face about something obvious, everything else is now in doubt.

I fucking hate defending Trump, but there's enough bad stuff about him without having to lie about it.
It just makes the ones who repeat the lies look stupid.

Sorry, you're the one asking, :o you agree with open borders, and that men should be allowed in womens’ sports, or that illegal immigrants can get free sex change treatment? " None of which are actually things Harris was promoting. You may not be American but you're not showing signs of brilliance getting all your notions from Russian bots on Facebook

Or have you not actually read the post.

Children as young as 12 have had gender affirming surgery in the USA.

That was the evidence of the CNN research.

Also the Senate and most probably the House, which at least means he should be able to get legislation through no matter how much some of us may disagree with it

My god, what a MESS the Democrats have made

Really? You'd waste your vote on retaliation?

More educated Americans vote Democrat and less educated Americans vote for Trump. The last things that the majority of Trump voters display are intellect and comprehension skills.
