To be so disappointed in people - Trump voters especially

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.

Further proof, as if any were needed, that the people of America are just as stupid/cruel/intransigent/misogynistic as those who landed there on the Mayflower

I am thrilled trump is winning. Today is a great day!

That makes two of us today 😅

It’s fun to watch the left in shock that not everyone is a liberal wet wipe.

FootbalIslife · 06/11/2024 07:31

I dread to think what this means for NATO, Ukraine, and any country within missile reach of putin. This will undoubtedly embolden China as well with their pacific land grab plans.
The poor women of America too.

CadoAvo · 06/11/2024 07:32

I don't want my baby to be born into a world where Trump is president 😢

xyz111 · 06/11/2024 07:32

Although I'm glad that apparently Trump will end the Russia Ukraine war in 24hrs!! I look forward to that! What a clown.

Boomer55 · 06/11/2024 07:32

Not good, but Biden had lost the plot, and Harris was pretty hopeless. Inept as the VP. The Democrats need to find better candidates next time. 🤷‍♀️

Swivelhead · 06/11/2024 07:33

Democrats are victim to the same problem the Tory's were here - record inflation on the back of the response to Covid and Ukraine.

Victim to? They chose that path. Lockdown and war.

Yes it's thrilling to see the support for rapists.

Such a shame. Just watching trumps sprech now and seems clear people are nearly evangelistic about this idea of 'America' Very different beast to here.

Tiker · 06/11/2024 07:33

DD’s DH is from small town USA in the so called rust belt. Her in laws are the nicest people, but they get all their information from Fox News. They are very frightened by what they see on TV and that is why they vote for bloody Trump. They are not stupid or uneducated just brainwashed by the media.

He's standing up now and just said 'we're going to fix everything for the people' and wanging on about big crowds and big votes.

He doesn't have a single clue how to do the job. And judging by the misery evident on the stage, nobody in his family or extended group of hangers on, are really up for it either.

I'm devastated for my American friends who allowed themselves a tiny bit of optimism.

What?

I mean I'm watching it too and that's not what I'm seeing at all!

His supporters are delighted and his speech is strong and motivating.

Maybe Kamala offered fuck all apart from not being Trump? The opposition was not good at all.

She’s a nondescript nothing - weird lies and always on the fence. America saw through it thankfully.

Agreed. She was awful. Laughing at thin air constantly.

If people vote for someone because someone else doesn't like that person or their supporters, sorry but that IS a stupid reason.
I don't care if people insult my party of choice and their supporters (and many often do). I wouldn't vote for a repugnant, racist, sexist criminal and give up some of my rights as a woman as a big FU to those people.

That’s pretty much how Labour got in.

Democrats need to field better candidates.

And stop insulting the electorate

This is 2016 all over again - they just refused to listen to what people were telling them.

They're eating the pets!

Up against The Orange Cheezey Whatsit, she was good. She was definitely qualified to be President. She had worked at all different levels of Government - He has been a failed business man, a convicted felon (and he'll probably commute his sentences or quash them altogether).

I don't know who out of the Democratic Party they could have selected to run against him that wasn't better qualified for the job

Who would you have put up against him??

I’m delighted. 😀

Not into abortion for rape or incest victims or women at risk of dying during their pregnancy huh?

Well it looks like many Americans are keen to give their country to Elon Musk and the tech bros. Trump will not live out the term and Vance (Peter Theil) will take over. Regulations bonfire will begin.

Any Trump voter who’s not a straight, white, Christian man deserves what’s coming.

The people of Ukraine and countries surrounding Russia must also know it will be a few months before Trump hands Ukraine over to Putin.

The only positive thing is that this may mean the end to America’s malign influence on the rest of the world as we all attempt to block out the crazy.

My Latvian colleague told me there are many announcements in the media there telling citizens to prepare for invasion. People must be terrified this morning.

It's a terrible day when you realise that so many of your fellow human beings are so utterly lacking in any quality that you might value.

I hate Trump but I’m kind of glad. America deserves everything they get with him. Good luck to them.

It does not just affect America though. A Trump victory is very bad news for the world.

Alaimo · 06/11/2024 07:34

To the various people saying the Democrats need better candidates, please explain to me how Kamala Harris is under-qualified to be president? She's been a district attorney, attorney general for California, senator, and vice-president, and somehow that is still not good enough?

Fizley · 06/11/2024 07:34

It is a terrible day for then as not a single one of us give a shit what you think.

Well it's young women I feel sorry for. They will be the victims in this.

This.

No rights over their own bodies.

Honestly, this.

Now we have 4 more years of the orange baboon on our screens spouting bollocks.

He said he would ‘fix it’ so people never have to vote again. Watch what he does to the Supreme Court this time. People were warned he had facist tendencies. His billionaire friends will enact Project 25. We’ve seen the plans. It’s like Scooby Doo when the evil guy tells you their evil plans so you can stop them. Unfortunately many just ignored this.
