Summary
“It’s simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,” said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.
Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.
Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.
Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.
All of this is stressing me out… i’m going to Starbucks.
I could really use an adult latte right about now.
Relax, ICE may empty their facilities, bit life will go on as normal. The rule of law will prevail.
lol as Trumps court cases are dismissed
The rule of law is basically nonexistent
That’s why every bank has been robbed , chaos in the streets, oh the humanity lol ok sure
Remember, idiots like Cuttlefish will be pointing at the front door of the house right now and saying “everything looks fine, assholes!”.
They’ll do that to purposefully ignore the fact that actual transition isn’t until late January. Furthermore, these people won’t kick down the front door this time. They are going to be behind the house, filling the crawlspace with fertilizer and gasoline. While they are doing that, they’ll count on Cuttlefish, among an army of useless dipshits, to claim “incredulous!!! All is well” to try to distract you into doubt. While you’re fully preoccupied, they’ll kick in the BACK door. And light a match. And what cuttlefish is just too god damn stupid and frightened to know right now is that while he’s looking out the front window, laughing as neighbor’s houses burn as they are dragged into the street and shot, he’ll hear the sound of his own back door being kicked in.
Make no mistake though. We’re all fucked, our kids, grandkids and their kids are also fucked. Cuttlefish is also fucked, they are just, again, too stupid to realize it yet. But know that anything you are telling yourself right now, focusing on how it can’t get THAT bad, that’s what you’d naturally tell yourself for comfort. That’s fine, its human, but it’s not true. The end isn’t a cliff’s edge, it’s an increasingly steep hill descending into a mass grave.
We are well and truly fucked, American democracy has failed. Past tense. The laws aren’t real, the courts aren’t real, there is no effective policing between the three branches. It is over. That’s hard to hear, to fully internalize, and it’s true.
Keep an eye on the news, its version of cuttlefish’s cowardly compliance will be the old “is trump being presidential?” narrative. Remember, he’s only the dipshit at the front door dancing to distract you, the actual trouble is happening quietly, and at the foundation of your home right now.
