Excellent summary of the internet’s potential for both help and harm. At this point, I’m not convinced the net result isn’t negative.

Depends. Some countries are easier to immigrate to than others. Ireland is pretty easy, if you have relatively recent Irish ancestry. Personally, I’m looking into Canada.

You just explained precisely why I’m working on a plan to get out. This country is no longer safe for my family.

Maybe when Florida is completely uninhabitable for large chunks of the year, some Floridians will start to wonder if maybe there was something to what all those egghead scientists have been saying.

Nah. It’ll still be the Democrats’ fault. Somehow.

She did. A lot. You weren’t listening. You were too busy trying to both-sides this shit.

You got Trump. Congrats.

They won’t. There’s no point. The Trump SCOTUS will throw anything they do out. The only thing that Biden could do is use the powers SCOTUS granted the presidency to round them up, throw them in a gulag, and declare the election null and void. And he won’t do that.

Not yet. Not for a little while. First, a few things have to happen:

• When the Department of Education is obliterated and schools nationwide collapse, it will also cause economic turmoil, because a lot of MAGA idiots work for federally-funded school systems in red states. They just voted to have themselves fired.
• The inevitable nationwide ban on abortion will kill a lot of women who believed it wouldn’t happen and voted for him - despite how much he bragged about killing Roe.
• Measles, mumps, and rubella will all make startling comebacks as vaccination plummets. Seriously guys, get vaccinated while you can. Oh, and COVID-19 is going to have a massive resurgence once RNA-based vaccines are banned in the United States.
• With the purging of civil servants from the FBI, the IRS, and various other letter agencies, we’re going to have a giant, stupid government staffed primarily by incompetent sycophants. Expect actual, productive work associated with any of them to grind to a halt. Expect the FBI to expend resources needlessly investigating whoever Trump hates at the moment. Expect the IRS to make mistakes that aren’t in your favor, and you can’t do anything about.
• Infrastructure week will forever be in the future, while actual infrastructure will be falling apart due to lack of funding. This problem will be felt the most in red areas, despite efforts to punish blue ones for voting for Harris.
• If you receive health care through the Affordable Care Act and you’re MAGA, you’ll be very surprised to learn that “Obamacare” was another name for it, and that you’ve just lost your health care. [insert “congratulations, you played yourself” meme here]
• You think things are expensive now? The inevitable flood of tariffs, with no adults in the room to tell Trump it’s a stupid idea, will jack your prices up enormously. If you thought COVID-19 inflation was bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
• The deeply, deeply stupid MAGA people who believed that Trump would leave their LGBTQ+ friends - well, former friends - alone will find out the hard way that voting to remove people’s rights is a good way to make them disown you.

After things are going really, really badly, and there are only Republicans in government to blame, a few will begin waking up and realizing they’ve been had.

And by then, it will be too late.

This is exactly what I was saying months ago. And it’s absolutely going to happen now. The entire region is going to plunge into chaotic war, and Putin couldn’t be happier.

How so? Be specific.

No they fucking didn’t.

I’m sure my LGBTQ+ kids can see the difference. Why can’t you?

Yup. With the high likelihood that Republicans get the trifecta, this country is about to become a lot more dangerous for my kids, both LGBTQ+, because dipshits believed that a “businessman” whose businesses all fail is good for the economy.

Wow. Actually, the fact that Harris won three from a crowd like that is pretty cool.

Honestly, with all the news showing how poll herding has been happening, I think it’s quite likely she sweeps the swing states. I’m less nervous now than I was a few days ago.

Oh, you’re on a sleep medication that interferes with your capacity for self-control? Sounds like you shouldn’t be in a high-stress job with lots of responsibility and power.

Just listened to Selzer break down her methodology in clear, simple terms. I’m starting to think the polling error this cycle is pretty big, and Harris is going to win handily.

I’m strongly in favor of 117. I like 118 in theory, but after reading it, I voted against it, because I think the end result would be to damage small Oregon businesses, while large conglomerates would be fine. I don’t want Walmarts to be the only businesses that can afford to operate here.

Yes, I already said, we know you want Donald Trump elected. He won’t be. Move on.

Yes, we know you want Donald Trump elected. He won’t be. Move on.

Don’t vote for a write-in candidate for president. Vote for Harris. If a state or local election has a credible, left-leaning write-in candidate opposing an otherwise-unopposed conservative, definitely do write that one in.
