You can't even really just blame this on social media. A lot of the mainstream media in the US rowed in behind Trump too. 

 

They can all get to fuck. This only affects your day to day life if you allow it to. Switch off, do your shitty day job, and spend the rest of your time doing things you enjoy. It's the job of other people to deal with Trump anyway. He'll be dead before too long and he's likely gonna absolutely rinse their economy anyway. 

Exactly. There is no point in getting too worked up because you have to rely on the stupidity of other people. Not just abroad but at home too.

The lunatics have taken over at many places in the last two decades. There are the Farages and AfDs as well.

Well this has ruined my morning!

Could genuinely see Farage as a not too distant future PM. What a fucked up world we live in. Not surprised but quite fearful of what the future might hold. Especially for my kids

 I think it's time to accept the a large and growing proportion of the population are ill-educated drones, easily manipulated by the press/TV, social media and it's puppet masters.

 

They think they're free thinkers but they're sheep.

 

The world is fucked, socially and physically (you can kiss climate change mitigation goodbye) thank fuck I'm the age I am and I so am unlikely to have to live through the worst of it.

 

Done with any consideration of a world view, will deal with whatever I see in front of me with my own eyes only.

 

Fuck it.

Bye bye American democracy. Hello Gilead.

Biden was worthless. All that lack of achievement to avoid rocking the boat and we lose anyway. This is my exact fear with Labour.

 

May as well have had Trump last time tbh, least it would be over by now.

 

The West needs a progressive vision that can appeal to people, we can't just scream "incel' at everyone and call it a day. Our entire civilisation is starting to come into the crosshairs now.

 

I'm so fucking done with the Democrats. Worthless party. Absolutely fucking useless, they've had absolutely fuck all to offer since Obama. Now they've lost all 3 chambers potentially, meaning God fucking knows what Trump manages to get through.

 

Heaven help the USA. The combined political acumen of the Democratic party undone by a TV madman. 

 

Hopeless. Agreenwith Gemmill though, just need to turn it the fuck off and give up.

Trump pissing swing states by 100s of 000s whereas Biden scraped by in some by 10s four years ago… if Labour don’t significantly improve the lives of millions of people in the next five years that may well be their fate too… 

[Monkeys Fist 42023]

When Trump goes beyond the point of having a functional mental ability in about 6 months or so, who have they got with the strength, political sway, and principles to invoke the 25th amendment? *
 

Even if they find someone able to do it, look at the fucking numpty that will take over. 
J. D.  Fucking Vance… 

 

What an absolute fucking shitshow. 
 

 

The only tiny sparkle of we’re-not-utterly-fucked that I can see is that Russia clearly doesn’t have as strong a military as everyone thought, so even if Ukraine falls, (which I hope to hell it doesn’t, and shame on every western government if it does), he isn’t going to be able to invade any more of his former territories … is he? 

 

* I say this knowing that only the VP can technically invoke the 25th, but as I said, J. D. Fucking Vance…. someone other than him will need to do the thinking and implementation.

pretty much where I'm at. I switch off to most things now. best thing I ever did was move to monmouth at the beginning of the year, news comes on and it's my cue to take the dog out along the wye, there's still a reasonable chance during the time ive got left I'll spot a kingfisher or an otter before they poison the fucking river altogether.

yeah. That’s my thought as well. They are massively up against it as the press still push the right. Now social media seems to have gone that way as well.

Interestingly (or maybe not so interesting) their current polling would see a much reduced vote share and majority. Although still pretty healthy in the latter case. FPTP might be their saviour. Not sure that’s particularly good for democracy or Labour in the longer term though. Tbf complacency doesn’t seem to be an issue. My main worry would be Reform though. As apart from anything else polling underestimated their share (and overestimated Labour’s) quite significantly last time round. Although the seat projections weren’t far off. The other problem for Labour is getting squeezed at the other end by left wing voters going for independents, Greens etc. even in seats where they just means Reform or Conservatives winning.

There is only one man that can save the world now. Time for him to start his presidential run right now:

What? No it doesn't. This affects your day to day life whether you bury your head in the sand or not. 

I am profoundly concerned and sick to the stomach. It's the end of US democracy as we've known it, a real turn into a dark dystopian future. 

 

[Gemmill 44319]

These latinos who voted Trump because when he was talking deportation, he "didn't mean me", but were pretty chill about him meaning someone else.... 

 

CAVEAT EMPTOR, BITCH. 

 

 

[Holden McGroin 6497]

This is not like Renton to take this bad. We must all really be in trouble.

No, it absolutely doesn't affect your day to day. I'll go to work today, do my job, I'll walk the dog, and I'll spend time with my lass in the evening. 

 

I won't doomscroll and I won't watch the news. 

 

There will inevitably be trickle down effects in our country, of course there will, but that's not my day to day life. That's Keir Starmer's day to day life.

I gave up on the younger generation a while back. My step daughter (22) decides if the recycle bin is full she’ll decide not to empty it then just put everything in the main bin.  Game over.
