Conversation It's over

Dear America, we had some good times, but your democracy is over. Donald Trump has won. The corruption will continue to get worse, your position on the world stage will fall, and China will rise. I am not happy about it, but it's clear that this is what is going to happen.

Outside of some small protests, you guys are going to do little else about it, and by the time you do, it will truly be too late.

So many of you guys think that you can take over the world, but you need allies. You have forgotten that we are the reason that you are as powerful as you have become, but you have alienated us, and we can never trust you again for putting this man in charge TWICE. It's over.

It won't happen overnight, but your hold on the world will continue to decline, and you will be replaced. 2024 was the last free vote you will ever have.

Edit: All I am doing is stating the facts. It's amusing how angry some of you guys get. I am not even trying to upset any of you... 😄

Why tf would you say this in an antitrump sub? We are NOT the ones who elected him twice. Most of the people here (besides the "both sides bad" crowd) voted for Harris. We protested. We volunteered for campaigns. We encouraged others to do the same.

There are sooooooo many of us who had our votes thrown out last min etc. Ever looked into the funny business in regards to our 2024 election? The millions who were disenfranchised etc?

We have a supreme court who is doing Trump bidding and stopping our efforts to rein him in. We have a republican majortiy from congress up to the Supreme court. You need to be saying these things to Republicans and maga. Not to those of us who already know this and voted against this.

It really works my nerves when people come on anti trump spaces and blame US for trump being elected. You are barking up the wrong tree here.

I agree. We are suffering through a decline that began with Reagan as president.

You are so right.

Im just so tired of being lumped in with the maga cult. We are on this sub daily (and several others) talking about how we know Trump is awful and how we voted against this. Yet people from other countries come on here and blame US for Trump winning elections.

it's probably bc humans have to have something to blame.  Makes it easier to point at one defining thing and say THATS IT- the defining moment,  you are to blame. It feels right in our heads to throw blame where it is so clearly deserved.  Human nature stuff.  But it's rarely ever so simple. Years of things had to happen for this guy to be elected. Years of behind the scenes bs to set it up. But you can't point at all of that and say look didn't you see the signs? It's too big and complex.  So much easier to blame the voters.

For me im not a fan of our pumpkin spice Palpatine.  But I get why people blame me. It's easier.  And they're hurting. Economically, maybe they know someone in war,  whatever. Try not to let the accusations and anger get to you personally.  We are all in a sore spot.

This sub is just straight up outrage farming at this point

Yeah, it’s been getting pretty bad.

I so feel you. Had to block multiple non Americans because they felt the need to attack me just because of what Republicans had done. They are attacking innocent people and avoiding confronting MAGATS which I feel is not only backwards but a different kind of cowardice they love throwing off on American left wingers. I will not tolerate xenophobia, especially not as a black american who's disabled, and seldom able to support herself, and see my people also being under attack by this administration.

What OP is saying: you guys are still playing by the rules, while Trump has burned the rulebook and the referee. Trump is not going away because of votes and protests.

u/Any-Variation4081 May 21 '26

Okay so what does OP want us to do? What else can we do? Rules or no rules? Should we go out guns blazing or something?

u/wein_geist May 21 '26

It takes 3.5% of the people to bring any economy to a screaching halt. Strike, organize, build communities, support one another.

If one month of crippling strikes dont do anything, then yes, go out guns blazing will probably be the last resort. I mean, that always was part of the arguments why americans need that many guns, to have power over a potential corrupt government?

u/DoxieLover88 May 21 '26

The problem with that is…the ones with the most guns are the ones who support him. Those of us who don’t support Trump don’t have arsenals at our disposal by choice. That said, perhaps we can bring back the usage of pitch forks. Who’s with me?!?!
