My heart goes out to the people who didn’t vote for this shit. To the people that did, I sincerely hope you get what you deserve.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

We're all going to get what they deserve.
Unfortunately true.
Another unfortunate truth is that the Dildo of Consequence rarely comes lubed.
Actually screw those who could vote but didn't, especially those 15 million that doesn't vote from the last election.
As someone from a red state. I feel this hard. 66% of our population have sweeping control of the government. But that's still 1 in 3 voters that routinely don't vote for hate.
Can't wait to see project 2025 get implemented.
Executive branch like a fascist dictator
Government agencies like the FDA, EPA gutted
Justice department completely politicized
Insurrectionist pardoned
Tax cuts for the rich
Social safety nets cut
Social security out to pasture, especially Gen Z
ACa repealed
Federal abortion ban
It's going to be a wild ride thanks to Americans.
I most certainly did not ask for this.
Hopefully they don't sunset Social Security too soon. I'm almost old enough to collect it.
I know it's selfish, but fuck it. This is America and this election just proved that fuck you, I got mine is the national motto.
What a shit hole.
America is build on selfishness. Get yours and hope for the best.
So uhh....how many of you are staring at the 2nd and thinking about arming yourselves now?
I wish I could kill myself
No you don't. Stay with us.
For what?
Hey. Europe is nice. You are welcome to come and live here :)
Also: Please don’t kill yourself. If you think about doing so, please talk to a professional. There are also plenty of friendly people available via free hotlines. The world is a better place with you in it. Don’t let them win :)
So you can be among those who help others survive. People need you. We need everyone we can get.
We could have some pizza and milkshakes and watch a cool 80s movie?
I would also like an answer to this question
I'm indigenous Canadian and my family have had to deal with worse. I've lived most of my life fighting all the time.
This isn't the end, it's only another road block we have to get around. I've had to face down many local, regional and national elections where idiots were elected that campaigned on indigenous hate so none of this is new to me. I may not be American but seeing your latest national election made me feel bad again because whatever you guys do affects us here too.
It sucks and I hate it but the only thing that makes me feel worse is giving up.
I'll live my life fighting, I really don't care
You should too.
Friend, def. not giving up. We're all neighbors. Indeed what happens south of that imaginary line affects people north of that imaginary line. And no one should be surprised that it is the case.
We lost by such an overwhelming degree. I don't know how to have hope anymore.
they said fight, not hope
Then don't. Fighting for hope is overrated anyway. Fight because you're angry. Fight because of what they took from you. Fight because this isn't okay, no matter what anyone tells you. Fight because you don't want to let it ever happen again.
Just don't stop fighting. Don't give up.
What is born each night and dies each dawn?
The day?
Hope
Don't do their work for them.
Sometimes, simply existing is the greatest act of rebellion. Let your life be an affront to them, every single day. Get up just to spite them.
