The next four years are gonna suck.

I can't imagine that most Americans would like that and I'm not sure how they would pull that off. If they did, it would cause so much havoc, it would be literal political suicide. I would think there would be more than a handful of Republicans to join Democrats to stop that from happening. But I guess we'll see.

Text sent to various college students across America post-election. Makes me laugh because this isn't a Woolworth's lunch counter.

it hurts so fucking much seeing this tide happening in real time. I don’t understand why they hate us so much. My family are the most incredible people. All we want is to be able to exist and love each other, why are they doing this to us

Not enough ink is spilled on Jill Stein's transphobic running mate. Has Jill gone away for the next four years or is there some post-election comment I've missed?

Honestly couldn’t care less about them. They’re such complete jokes at this point that they couldn’t even get enough votes to get people arguing about them spoiling the election this year

Probably should have just done this in the first place.

Your constant gaslighting and misrepresentation of what's been said gets tedious after a while, so I probably won't be responding to you on this issue any further.

ehhh.. I haven't even ruled out that he'll try and make a 3rd term happen in 2028, just that he'll probably thankfully die by then.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say in 2 years, there's going to be a big swing in the other direction, because Trump sows too much chaos and the GOP will overreach. I can't imagine them surviving in 4 years. I guess we'll see how bad things get.

If the sundowning that was evident on the campaign trail accelerates, I wonder what will happen. I know his handlers can get away with just letting him ramble for a good long time under controlled circumstances, but does he have 4 years in him?

They just regurgitate every Murdoch propaganda talking point they ingest. "But hunter bidan laptop!"

Hang on… Gen Xers? I thought we were the cool increasingly old people?

If we’re turning into Boomers, Millennials and Gen Z are next.
