I didn’t vote, not my country.

Can't do anything about that. But you know what I mean.

We have our own Trump-wannabe here (look up Pierre Poilievreor don't he's insufferable.) I always vote NDP (New Democratic Part; A.K.A. an entire political party full of Bernie Sanders') out of principle, but this year they ESPECIALLY need as many votes as they can get.

Also I'm tempted to start calling your country "South Canada" now to clap back at...well you know.

Good, glad you're smarter up there. I'm flabbergasted by the insane swill that comes out of that orange windbag. I'd honestly rather be a kanuck.

Our government (excluding the traitorous Premiere of Alberta) is already beefing up our economic and military defenses to push back against anything that madman tries to fling our way.

I live in the UK so I can't vote but if given a chance I will never vote for that prick

Double thumbs up for that.

Being a Swedish myself, I can't really vote. That being said, you have my condolences that your have that man as a President.

Thank god i'm the only swede whom has a good head on my shoulders.

What's it like having Sharia Law in Sweden? Because you are bringing in more and more islamists every day!

My condolences to you.

So you're being Islamaphobic, because people in war torn nations want a better life?

You're gross.

somebody come get they slow cousin, looks like he went out without his helmet again

Not exactly nice of you to act as if you were the only one who know better. Forgetting Jante lagen my fellow Swede?

Sharia Law, where in Sweden exactly? Because last time I checked, there is no such thing in Sweden.

The only thing I could find where Sharia was used were a few controversial divorce court cases where Sharia Law was applied, yet that did not go over well as you can imagine. Then there have been Islamists attempting to call for Sharia Law in Sweden, but has been denied thus far. In fact, in the last few months, we have started to tell immigrants of all kinds to either adhere to Swedish law or get out.

Sweden is starting to change course to stop immigration. Your jump against me serve no purpose than to simple cause further division that is not needed. So thus I pity you for choosing aggression over being diplomatic and calm. Especially against a fellow Swede.

And one last thing: I have no problem with immigrants, as long as they remain respectful to our ways and to our law. The moment they cause trouble however? Then they have overstayed their welcome.

Wow is that how you're going to treat others who disagree with your views?

Guess you're petulant. Grow a thick skin and learn to treat others with respect.

Uk resident and Trans, HORRIFIED by what i've seen. The far right celebrating like they just won ww2 couldn't be any more ironic could it?

I wouldn't vote even if I could.

I voted my damndest against this Hitler wanna be and he still won.

I'm from South America, but trump and the president of my country can go to hell.

I still can’t understand why Nikki Haley was opt out. She was a perfect candidate, not softshell democrats (that would bring USA to downfall), and not those wasted trump-party (most likely same outcome, with USA falling even more in the grip of corruption and oligarchy and looking like third world dictatorships).

Both Trump and Kamala were terrible choices for such great country. It was voting between Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich. It hard to believe you came to this.

We've been on that track since Reagan. It begans with simplification and dysfunction in public education. Then distractions from core belief and catering to fringe religions cults.

Also, you can't be serious, you have a literal Nazi, vs status quo. These choices aren't the same.

Unfortunately most Americans seem to subscribe to the theory of accelerationism. Which is to say, they'd rather burn everything down to force radical change than accept incrementalism. Which is, sadly, totally foreseeable with the national attitude towards most things. We are a very selfish culture.

USA just became too soft after end of cold war, that’s it, mo more existential threat and people in charge can think about their wealth now, while common people allowing it.

Status quo also means death now, especially after Biden allowed WW3 to flame up. Some people rather support nazies than die so that’s why people who hated democrats voted for Trump, I can understand them. One of my friends voted for Trump because he sincerely hates Obama-camp democtars that did everything they could to bring world close to WW3, but he not huge fan of Trump and his policy. I can’t understand why Nikki Haley didn’t get through, tho.

your friend is slow

I take comfort in the fact that they seem to already be engaging in the usual internal cannibalism that afflicts such regimes. All we need to do is outlast them. Build out existing alternative networks of support; engage with your community. That way when everything burns down, we have alternatives to turn to.

^ This.

Well Being a polish citizen myself I can't vote i can only be mad at my polish guys who decided to vote on Trump.

You seriously think blocking me when I voted for a candidate to bring back normalcy to America and the world? You're out of your mind!

So yes, I voted for Trump and i'd do it again a million times over if it meant saving the world!

I will not believe the democrat lies and they are the nazis!

I looked up to you and it hurts me that you would do this.

I hope you're proud of this. I won't block you but I won't interact with you.

Yup. Bye

since when has caring about the rights of all people and giving everyone a voice to speak naziism. Your turmp wants to kick people who are LEGALLY here just like hitler did to the jews, he wants to invade other countries becsaue those other countries made him upset. Trump is not a messaih he's the literal child who should not and will not have his way.

We and the world has seen this before. Same patterns. It's more scary being on the precipice of environmental ruin. And the thought that no place could be safe.

as the late great George Carlin once said "the planet is fine, it's the people who are fucked" "the planet is just going to shake us off like a bad case of fleas" I just hope what ever takes over after we're gone treats the world better than we did.

Nobody cares

I still can't believe that he won. I was so certain that there was no way that he would get elected again. I am terrified about what he will manage to do this time now that he knows from experience that he can get away with anything...

I voted for Harris. It didn't matter in the end, but I did what I could, and I will continue to do what I can.

It's all we could do.

At the very least we kept Nazi-Lover Woman-Hater Mark Robinson out.

Plus, it's so wonderful to see Professional Wrestling Fans telling Hulk Hogan to P!$$ OFF! (Real American Beer? That doesn't work for us, brother!)

not american and i don't believe in politics, followed these elections because i considered them (alongside current day politics in general) a trainwreck too hilarious not to be watched. Also, sorry not sorry but imma give you my version of the whole situation because it's just too fucking stupid for me and i hope you'll understand my side.

the dems here deserves both most of the mockery here and took the biggest, fattest and dumbest L of election history; it was not just a repeat of 8 years ago, where they did sent an unlikeable girlboss against le orange man, their chosen candidate was both fresh from an extremely incompetent vice-presidency and flushed down the toilet over a billion bucks in order to gain celebrity endorsement (except mark hamill cuz he really, really, really fucking hates trump) and get (the mostly underage) Fortnite players to vote for her thanks to the no guns map called Freedomtown. On the podium too, kamala was nothing short of terrible and i still believe that the sole reason she was put there was bc Biden (a man that just 4 years ago managed to tell trump to shut his fucking mouth up) managed to embarass everyone at that one summit by forcing Meloni to play social worker and also (allegedly) pooped his pants while in front of the pope.

Trump on the other hand... oh boy what a fucking show he pulled out of his ass... he got mugshot, then actually shot, almost shot, and then biden reminded everyone of that time he gave to a pornstar a cumshot. love him or hate him, he has the charisma of a comedian and aside of those shitty "they're eating the dogs" ramblings, he always found a way to bounce back whenever he got insulted by his opposition.
This whole thing genuinely reminded me of when berlusconi was still alive and a part of the italian senate; i don't care what is your take regard that man too, the point remains that he was a extremely charismatic person and the worst (and more common) weapon that most parties used to counter him was just to shout "WE'RE NOT HIM! HE'S EVIL", a brilliant and ingenious tactic that more often than not would result in those attempting to use it crashing and burning in failure. Absolute cinema!

And then, finally, what has probably been the biggest joke of them all: elon musk, a person that went from his legendary owning of bob iger by telling him to kindly go fuck himself to one of the most unhinged and pathetic mid-life crisis of the motherfucking history.
You need to understand, he must be seen by the people as the coolest and EPICest GAMERS in the history of GAMING, so he streamed himself GAMING (and make DSP look like a fucking pro), showed to everyone his EPIC elden ring build, explained his EPIC SPEEDRUN of diablo 4 and totally didn't payed other people to run his path of exiles 2 account for him.
Also he did pulled a few stunts, nothing too minor, just the kind of thing that would make joe biden's pants filling look like the most praiseworthy and dignifiying of actions.
I swear, the whole salute thing was intentional, but not because he's a nazi, rather he did it to own the libs, he thinks he's playing some kind of 4-d chess, when in fact he's just a moron playing fucking checkers with half-chewed pieces, and probably still believes he can still win the match despite his opponent's first move being to place his king on a white tile.

All this bullshit just to say "i'm mentally challenged" lol

all that bullshit to say "everyone involved there was mentally challenged"

You start off saying "i don't believe in politics" which is already some fuckin S tier caucasity, and then proceed to write the most bullshit fucking screed I've ever seen in my life. All to say absolutely nothing about anything and then repeat what i said at the end. My point stands

i'm not even sure "caucasity" is a word.
just googled it.
ok racist

Lmao cry some more. You don't even know what that word means but please go off.

are you mad at me because i am not picking (your) side or because i mocked your side at first?

It doesn't matter whether you believe in or care about politics, politics very much do care about you, positions of neutrality rarely do anything but benefit the worst kinds of people by giving them a seat at the table when their intolerance should, somewhat fittingly, not be tolerated at it.

i'm not for centrism, rather i'm against extremism of any form;
what caused me to lose faith in politics is exactly this evergrowing drifting toward extremism from both sides, a problem that has vastly worsended USA's main issue, which is its overeliance on 2 party systems, something that has been mocked ever since in 1996 with the simpson's halloween special "citizen Kang" and somehow never got better.
neutrality is not the only thing that end up benefiting the worst kind of people, far more damaging is this idea that one must vote for a person, not because of his/her ideals, not because he/she would make for a competent leader, but solely because he/she represent this faction and/or doesn't rapresent this other faction that we need to further demonize.
it genuinely disgusts me, and it's why i cannot take this shit seriously anymore and must treat it like a joke made on everyone but those involved with it, otherwise i'd get crippling depression.

"Everyone I don't agree with is a nazi"

Elon while he throws a Nazi salute in the US capital building, on Martin Luther King Jr's birthday. Keeping on trolling turd.

but he really isn’t nazi he’s just a re**rd and an idiot. Nazies actually believe in something, he on the other hand doesn’t believe in anything but himself.

It’s not that I’m trying to protect him (he’s one of the worst people on Earth) or, god damn it, protect nazies. But calling every mentally handicapped idiot a nazi, really makes people forget how terrible actual nazies are.

https://www.npr.org/2025/01/10/nx-s.....e-alice-weidel

Literally him supporting the AfD a neo Nazi far right movement in Germany.
He's more than an R word. Dipshit.

On days like these my anxiety threatens to consume me, but then I remember there's tons of people out there who are equally upset at the way the world is going. Glad you're one of the sane ones, and hopefully we'll be able to get through the next few years together.

Then I'm safe.. (chuckles)
I DID not vote for him.
but I "did" vote!

so I got that going for me...

I'm British live in the UK, and also I despise Trump because he's nothing but a lowlife felon. Hope there will be an uprising against that cheater Trump.

Im UK so I couldnt vote but all I can say is I feel for the people I know in the US who didn't vote for him.

Thanks for baiting the Nazis and their supporters on this one. Lots of great blocking material here.

Also, allow me a bit of laughter at the naive tying themselves into knots with words trying to justify abhorrent actions. Words are hollow and meaningless, actions are all that matters.

And boy howdy do their actions speak volumes.

On a site that's about counterculture and diversity. It's strange at how bigoted some of these people are.

Nothing new, sadly. They’re in every subculture, and often naively believe that “if everyone just…” as a viable method of governance.

They’re wrong, of course, because what they refuse to acknowledge is their own value that not every human is a person deserving of rights and liberty.

The only good nazi is a DEAD one.

DO NOT try to debate me on this one. ALL Nazis are scum.

I can proudly say that I voted against Trump 3 times now.

I am proud to say that I voted pure blue! 💙

Yes, though I'm UK i followed the presidency run quite closely...God knows why I did..but I did.
I feel like those supporting him or majority who voted never..reaaaally listened to his words. Never listened to his rally or..denied or made excuses for every wild thing he said.
Either way..people fell for all the promises hook line and sinker, regardless if you wernt a fan of Harris..it was obvious Trump was much worse choice.

There's too many false news sources that sensationalize fear and xenophobic ideals. People fall into the habit of getting triggered by the buzz words that make them mad and that oaf is a pro. They don't understand that they are literally are cutting of their nose to spite their face.

Yeah very true, people just can't seem to think and investigate for themselves.

No, they do research... just on conspiracy websites, and things sponsored by Rupert Murdoc

Lol the wrong sort of research...where the person isn't qualified or anything..but it agrees with the opinion they want so who cares about facts right?

Everyday I keep seeing shit over there being reported. I only hope that the insane pushes are continuously blocked.

Does it really matter if someone didn’t vote if their state is overwhelmingly one color? Their vote ain’t gonna matter in those states either way, that’s just how the electoral college works.

An overwhelming thought like that breeds the mentality of why bother. Now, take that and multiply that feeling. Of course it will lose. Yes the electoral college plays a hand as well as gerrymandering. But with the old guard dying, you leave only the remains voting, without your one vote. Unless you come from like Oklahoma or Arkansas... Then like I'm super sorry and you need to get outta there.

Does it excuse not going out there and actually voting?

That kind of defeatism is why nothing hardly gets better. And people who have that mindset need to knock it off with that nonsense.

I'm saying to you now.

We'll get through this. We will persevere because they hate to see us succeed. As much as I personally felt Harris wasn't the right move for the Democratic party, I still voted for her, since she was the only other option vs fascism.

The move wasn't the best. It would've been hard doing a primary that late in the game. What upset me at the time was the " I don't know what she stands for"... Bitch you know what that other guy stands for. You don't want that, right?

It's going to be a shit 4 years.

Yep, but we can't let this stop us from doing whatever we can to ensure the safety of our communities.

Canadian here - I loathed Trump and I loathed MAGA nuts and Canadian pro-Trump as well.
