US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

Very possibly, but it's not like they suddenly started thinking those thoughts just as trump got the 276 electoral college votes needed. It's been a pretty horrible low brow campaign all round.

No but they were emboldened to say it out loud and deliberately make someone else feel worse.

The lack of empathy in general is horrific. Really do feel we’ve gone backwards in terms of social intelligence.
 
The only saving grace from the upcoming shit show is that countries such as the UK will be forced to reduce our dependency on the US for lots of things, and in the very long run it should strengthen our own country and help alliances closer to home.
My concern is that we will go the other way and try to forge closer ties with the USA.
We cant exist in isolation. In an ideal world, we will try to redeem our relationship with the EU. It is in both our interests. I fear that we will get in bed with America.
 
Is he fuck. Biden doesn’t even know what day it is half the time.
Totally disagree Trump is just as wobbily and his age will count against him for being in power for the long term. Luckily for him Harris wasn't the most strongest of opponents. And more importanly he finds himself incredibly fortunate he isn't in jail.

People must have short memories. There is zero chance of that. Trump first tine round, Boris Johnson, Farage, the Brexit campaign, Steve Bannon, the NHS bus, Gove. These things didnt happen by accident they all followed a play book and discussed it with eachother and followed what worked. We now have no relationship with the EU because of it. We wont get into bed with America because what do we offer them and what can we offer them? Fuck all
 
It's factual
Except for the seven states that will codify abortion by state constitutional amendment after initiatives passed Tuesday. So, yeah, post-Dobbs and Roe, the most sweeping change in American abortion law in history this week.

Not sure why you are like this. Still an awfully callous view “fact” or no. Wonder if you’d feel same if it was your daughter.

You kind of just want to give up when you see that. Or you can decide this is a lovely opportunity to take advantage of them if you don’t have a moral center. We could just ignore or dismiss them, or try live and let live, but they vote for lying grifting felons, so you can’t. We can try to help them, but they don’t like being talked down to. You can try to understand them, but can’t ask them too many questions, because then you’re overtaxing and embarrassing them.

I’m at a loss. Maybe the answer is just to exclude them. Probably the answer is the one Trump has come with: just lie to them.
