The Politics Thread

[Maxim]

And there is this... part that WAS ready to progress... and what they are going to do now... made to live in this horror show...  Everyone who voted for Harris - you are a light in the dark sky! Know that...  And I will never stop believing that change will come some day. I hope I'm alive to see it.

Over and over again, we have tried to make White America see and hear us.  2024 might be the moment when we, as people of color, decide we're through with that [!@#$%^&*]. 

We'll go where we CAN be seen AND heard; and in the meantime, we'll wait while you tear everything down and then beg us to save your sorry butts one more time.

(If I were you, my brothers and sisters, when the call does come, I'd put them on a very long hold, lol).

And let me tell you, if there is one thing people don't like, it's a looooong hold.

Black women make up 7%of the population. Of course they can't do it alone. The majority of people chose a wanna be dictator. I have no idea what to do with that or where we (Democrats) go from here.

Part of me feels like Wendy. Let the suffering begin. If he does half of what he's promised even upper middle class people are going to be feeling the pain. Say goodbye to your 401ks and social security/medicare you bastards. I won't feel this way in a week or two, but right now I do. 

[Maxim]

And that's what he is - wannabe dictator. And these people just gave him the tools and the chance to try his chance again of being one. SICK.

With elevator music!

That's the certain the case for the majority of white Gen X ers but it isn't case for the rest of Gen X demographic. 

[DramatistDreamer]

I was definitely referring to white GenXers. Still, the numbers aren’t good among many ethnic groups.

[Taoboi]

YES!

 

You be surprised how hostile people get after listening to 45 minutes to an hour of elevator music.

It really is incredibly f*cked up. He's going to have a much easier time now that all the branches of government are Republicans.

[Maxim]

That's what my husband told me today. His words - "They gave him everything. This is a complete circus!"

[Taoboi]

That makes me think of a picture with a quote I just saw today:

 

A clown entering a palace isn't a king; the palace is now a circus. 

[Maxim]

This is so fitting to what is happening. So.... perfectly fitting. WOW.

[ChateauCardboard]

Agree. I feel desperately sorry for everyone who voted for Kamala, for everyone who fought to stop this happening, for the Ukrainians who are about to be subjugated. For the people who memory holed everything that he did the last time and voted for him and gave him unchecked power as the kicker? Nah. Your undocumented friend gets rounded up and sent to an ICE facility? Your DOCUMENTED cousin gets rounded up and sent to the same facility? Your sister dies in a hospital car park because nobody will treat her because of the abortion ban? Sucks to be you. Cry about it in your journal. You deserve what you get.

It is SO interesting that @Vee who knows EVERYTHING, got this wrong .
