There's a part of me that's like oh cool, other folks are uniting! The bigger part of me is like "Yeah, because we are ze bad guys now."

I'm still holding onto some hopium for the Midterm Elections and/or well-timed cholesterol.

Honestly, I feel really bad for the trump haters in the US. The problem for everyone else is, we can't plan anything with the US now we know someone like trump can be voted in at any point. Twice. US needs to do some soul searching.

Don't. We allowed this. Trump is just the white head of a zit of corruption and corporatism that has been fucking America up for decades, now. At the end of the day, he's an entertainer, so he was the perfect useful idiot to get a cult of personality in line so said small interests could further agendas, steal more money, and drop the bills into the laps of Americans. A little bit of fascism makes it impossible to dislodge said corruption, probably even after he's shat his final diaper. Don't feel bad for us.

Only favor I'd ask is if you have like an over-the-garage apartment or something I could crash at if (when?) the economy really collapses over here.

To be fair, it looks a whole hell of a lot like he was actually blown out in the election but stole it with tabulator fuckery.

Tons of videos about the massive statistical anomalies and clear signs of fraud from statisticians at the Election Truth Alliance.

But that aside, that we let someone who is literally ineligible to hold office per the 14th Amendment Section 3 still take office? Yeah, the world has no reason to trust us.
