“I didn’t think that voting for Trump would hurt me.”

There is that.

We rank above the US is virtually every metric. Education. Healthcare. Life expectancy. Lower infant and maternal mortality. Standard of living. Quality of life. Safety. Religious freedom. Personal freedom. Better place to do business. Better place to headquarter a business. Better beer. Maple syrup.

But by all means, keep telling yourself whatever you need to tell yourself to get through the day.

This is the answer. Leave them to to the face eating leopards and form alliances without them.

Don’t come to Canada. We don’t have enough housing for the people already here. Most of you will die of exposure during your first winter here.

Go to Mexico instead. I’m sure they’ll take you.

The frustrating thing is that the red center of the country just voted itself into slavery. Trump has said that he’s going to reduce the minimum wage. Project 2025 will destroy the education department, the ACA will be dismantled, social security will be eliminated, workers rights are going away. You will work for slave wages with no protections, no benefits, and no pension then you will fuck off and die when they’ve used you up.

Congratulations! Your fear, hated, and hunger for vengeance on those you resent was used to manipulate you into the biggest self-own in human history.

This was a well executed decades long plan by the christofascists to turn the United States into a christofascist theocratic autocracy using the Republican party at a framework and vehicle and leveraging the fear, hatred, and ignorance of the heartland to do it. The only way to come back from this is to abandon any attempts to court the right and center and to design and execute a plan to take the country back from the fascists and oligarchs, to fix the courts, to fix the elections, to fix public educating and healthcare, to redistribute wealth, and to give the country back to the people, not just the rich, white, Christian, male people.

Healthcare is going away for most people as are women’s rights and rights, really, for anyone who isn’t a rich white Christian man. You guys really fucked yourselves, and to a great extent everyone else, this time. Get ready for the biggest deficit in global history followed by a depression for the ages.

This is the US of A. Fear, anger, hate. Everyone else knows it. They just need to admit it to themselves.

I’m a shareholder. I hope so, too.

I wonder if it’s the US or Taiwan that donates the thermite grenades on the machines? If it’s the US Trump might just order them not to donate them as a gift to Xi.

The most annoying thing over the next few years is going to be listening to:

“What happened to my helthcare?” "You voted for Trump who promised to take it away. " “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

“Why are the prices of groceries so high?” “You voted for Trump who promised to deport all the illegal farm workers who picked your food for low wages.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

“Why did my daughter/wife/girlfriend/mother die in a hospital parking lot?” “You voted for Trump who promised to make life saving healthcare for women illegal nation wide.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

“What happened to the minimum wage?” “You voted for Trump who promised to lower it.” “But I didn’t think it would effect me!”

“What happened to the Palestinians?” “You voted for Trump/voted for a third party candidate which allowed Trump to rise to power then he gave Netanyahu the go ahead to wipe them out.” “But I didn’t think that would happen to my family!”

Suck it up. This is your bed. You shat it in. Now lie there and be quiet. We’re tired of your bullshit.

Tankies gonna tank. Never question the orthodoxy in an echo bunker.

What?

Women should vote this time because they might lose the right to vote next time. I guarantee that if Trump wins but its clear that many women voted against the wishes of their husband some Project 2025 shit heel is going to come up with the idea that men should be able to vote by proxy for their wives so that they don’t vote wrong and cancel out their husband’s vote.

I had chemo for Hodgins this afternoon. Napping with the cats and drinking lots of water.

That’s what I meant to say. I’m so tired.

If my partner were voting fascist they wouldn’t be my partner.

Exactly. His base loves the hate.

Hopefully the Mexican and Puerto Rican voters realize that he hates them.

It’s all about white grievance.

They complain about intellectual elitists because they make them feel stupid. They complain about progressives because they make them feel backwards. They complain about the woke because they make them feel intolerant. They feel that everyone looks down at them for being dumb, backwards, intolerant assholes and that makes them angry. They express that anger by wanting to hurt people and Trump promises to do that. It’s about being mean. It’s about lashing out. They don’t understand that Trump and the Project 2025 christofascists will cast them aside the moment they have consolidated power. By then it will be too late.
