I’m surprised anyone is surprised. I was shocked when I posted here on Saturday and people thought Harris would win, I found out people were even betting money on it.

It’s hard having a discussion on here because so many are blinkered to reality, it doesn’t help that this place is an echo chamber for blinkered people reading the same drivel, but I said my piece on the US politics thread and I’ll leave you all to it.

I'm fucking shocked that Americans would vote in a convicted rapist who tried to overthrow the government and who's first tirm which was only a few years ago - was largely a shit show.

Yes..... Fuck me for being surprised.
 
The economy is doing fine in America yet they’re still led to believe the Democrats have ruined the economy, jobs etc
Same will happen here, there will be bumps in the economy as always but the rhetoric will be ramped up that Labour have destroyed this country and they will be out - Farage and Reform will have a big big chance and it would not suprise me if Musk throws his weight in for that to happen. Everything is off the table now.
I diisagree, our electorate are more educated generally than the yanks.

Musk nailing his colours to the Trump mast is concerning. He wants something and sees an opportunity, the AI and process automation he can introduce to the American economy is going to cause a slow car crash in the labour market and it seems world leaders are sleep walking into it. It won’t be immigrants taking jobs it will be our air fryers.
 
Lots of glib bullshit being posted, but I can tell you that every woman I know is aghast at the Handmaid’s Tale future they face, and it’s no joke to them. Women will die because of this. Expect an almost national abortion ban within the next year, with penalties for doctors, nurses and women up to and including life imprisonment.

As someone who flies overseas for a living, mainly to Europe, I’m fucking embarrassed to be associated with the tens of millions of uneducated and confused white males who elected this empty fuck.

Arguably the black and hispanic male vote that swung it, which is even worse.

What america does today we will do tomorrow.

Farage and Johnson must be thinking Christmas has come early.

We live in our own bubble of reality through social media.
