Given their penchant for projection, has anyone considered that the fraud was coming from inside the house?

I believe we have one of the most secure elections in the world. I don’t believe in conspiratorial bullshit. I’m just saying, anything the Republicans accuse others with is frankly evidence that they are doing it themselves.

They tell me immigrants are eating pets? Yeah I’m going to say there’s definitely a non-zero chance that republicans are out there picking up roadkill cats and dogs. I mean Kennedy has probably done that 100 times himself.

So if the Republicans accuse Democrats of creating millions of fake votes I doubt it’s possible to do, but let’s double check anyway because now they’ve made me suspicious.

Yeah. I’m feeling so much contempt for my country right now, part of me feels like, had I known this about us, I’d have welcomed Trump long ago, because clearly we deserve this. Let’s just let everything get so bad they are forced to confront the wretched failure of the society they have wrought.

What’s going to happen is in a few years the balance of power will shift, saving them from the worst consequences of the failures of far right policy, and they will learn nothing.

Nope. Let’s not any more. Let them fucking have it. Let them fucking destroy everything just so, at the end, they can appreciate that the devastation and misery surrounding them is a monument to their own stupidity and failure.

I sort of understand Trumpists right now. I’m so angry that I’m willing to endure misery as long as I know it’s hurting them, too.

I have experience some of what I’m told is the worst pain possible. Kidney stones, migraines that hit like cluster headaches. I wouldn’t rate any of them a 10 because I’m always like… I could definitely feel more pain. Kidney stones are unmanageable pain, but it’s not sheer agony shrieking through every nerve constantly.

Like you could rip off my arm and that would fucking hurt unimaginably, but then you could always pour salt on it after.

The people who didn’t vote for Kamala, whether they stayed home or voted for Trump, they don’t fucking care. They don’t care if every Palestinian dies. In fact, if killing Palestinians lowered gas prices, they would probably pull the trigger themselves. And they’d do the same thing to Israel.

Whomever runs next will not give a flying fuck about Palestinians. They might pay lip service, but that’s all you get.

Sounds like the start of a global pandemic movie.

The uncertainty over what Trump might break with his buffoonery.

I know for lots of them that’s probably true. But it’s not fifty percent of the country.

a lot of people were so disgusted with Harris that they didn’t even bother to show up.

Why??? Gaza? One fucking issue out of fifty that Trump will be ten times worse on anyway? I’m not thrilled about Gaza, but now in their name, even more Gaza’s will die, plus Ukrainians, our own women, trans kids, immune compromised, whomever dies as a result of NATO collapsing, whoever dies because of climate change, refugees.

And every single person who voted for Trump over the economy, I fucking guarantee if Gaza was on fire from one end to the other they wouldn’t piss on it to put it out.

My wife swears up and down that rural and rural-adjacent suburban votes will simply never vote for a woman.

My son, who lives and works in Detroit, says the Muslims would rather ban abortion than pet much any other issue. The news says trump made major inroads with gen z boys.

I don’t know the answer. I’m not sure anyone does. But on every single fucking issue, whatever you care about, there isn’t one single issue on which Trump would be the better pick, unless you just want to fucking burn it all down. Or you’re a multi multi millionaire who just wants to pay less taxes.

I have to go get started on tomorrow’s hangover.

Yes. Yes, exactly. Redder than what we just saw. Because all those rural motherfuckers looked at Harris, probably the most progressive candidate we’ve had during my lifetime and I’m getting fucking old, looked at Trump, and they fucking chose Trump.

They. Fucking. Chose. Trump.

I don’t know what those stupid motherfuckers want, but it’s obviously not healthcare or a god damned economy.
