This is a post I very much agree with, but since — as you promised — you’d come here to laugh in anti-Trumper faces, I assume you didn’t actually write it.
Listen. Like i I said, I'm not here to gloat. But it was obvious that continuing with their policies. Policies that when the election came they tried to distance themselves from, the writing was on the wall.

I'm not a Trump fan, but the Democrats are way worse.
 
Forever. In every election, from now on until forever.

Why would anyone hungry for leadership change what worked for Trump?

Not just Trump. I’ve brought up my friend Mary Rickert in Shasta County, CA before. Look up the stories of what she’s endured. Of course she got creamed because of liberal narcissism, right? Sure.

It’s not Trump or an all-red legislature (which even my Trump-supporting clients are afraid of). The lesson here is that decency can be irrelevant. That abiding by the law can be irrelevant. That betraying trust can be irrelevant. That ultimate power can be achieved in a democracy without any of these as basic conditions.

And the irony of decrying how we treat each other here. Ha ha. Who gives a fuck anymore?

It's only game over when everyone accepts that is the only path to power. It's a vile template that's been shown to work before in history, it's also been shown that even the vilest of ideologies and behaviours can eventually be defeated and rolled back albeit at great cost. It might take the world being on fire to make us come to our senses but they only truly win when everyone else simply falls into nihilism. I know that is easy to say when you are an ocean away from the eye storm but we've already had a lite taste of it and it is very likely coming here too in our next election cycle.
 
I alluded to this on a very early post after Trump won the election. As crazy as it sounds many people will have voted for him to spite the celebrities and broadcasters, who do nothing but treat the ordinary person in the street with contempt and openly mock them. It reminds me of the Brexit vote here. If your life has been pretty shit for years and nobody listens to any concerns you have and whoever gets in power it's unlikely to improve much, your vote becomes a fuck you vote.

 
Re abortion: Doesn't repealing Roe v Wade place abortion rights in the remit of the individual states? I read some states were voting on abortion issues as well as the presidential election. Maybe there is a realpolitik answer here but doesn't that now provide a buffer between him and abortion rights?
Another way many expect conservatives to go at this is a fetal personhood law related to the 14th amendment. It would give fetuses a right to life, essentially making abortion, ivf and birth control illegal.
 
Does this mean Boris is making a comeback?

Can't have a tarquin in charge of the country, they're delusional.

Personally I doubt it, though the narcissistic inclination will still be there he doesn't face the existential threat that Trump faced without running/winning. So if Johnson can find easier grifts that still massage his ego he'll be too lazy to go again. The Frog Faced Fuhrer is another matter altogether imo.
 
Why's that? She posts inflammatory things all the time. Is it because she's a woman? Sounds a little sexist. She has as much a right to post what she wants, and deal with the consequences.
Evening. Would you like a muffin or a barm?

How did our loss feel for you?
 
Or you could answer the question.

Neither here nor there. Trump isn't the saviour, but Kamala?
I take it you’re American? Please remember, this is mainly a British, no, Manchester forum, and we look after our own.

If you had any intention of actually understanding people, you’d have read that I called the vote well before it was called in your own country, and have no real issues with what Trump will do, as we just adapt.

Just to confirm, you are American and have a vote?

PS. No need to reply, I’m off to bed.
