You’re old, straight, white and rich, motherfucker – YOU’RE going to be “ok.” Everyone else is fucked.
the “we” he refers to is not us
His “We” aren’t even watching, they’re sunbathing off the coast of Cancun
Guy surrendering power says it’s gonna be okay.
Guy taking power says we’re coming for you motherfuckers.
Hm, who to believe?
Yeah, no kidding.
No, it’s fine. We don’t do lesser evilism here so it’s fine. /s
The people who say its all ok will be spared, motherfucker… they hope.
3 days ago, it was going to be the last election, the ultimate election, the end times, the end of democracy. Now we’ll be fine?
Pre-election Dems and post-election Dems cannot both be right. One of the two is lying.
it’s just that democrats give republicans too much good faith and try to be the better people; both things can be true.
So… pre-election Democrats were not being the better people??? I really don’t get this.
I am convinced that Project 2025 is coming to your country and that trumpism is the most dangerous modern day neo-fascist strain. I actually believe the pre-election Democrats. You don’t appease fascism, you don’t give it good faith, you resist it, you fight it, you crush it.
This about-face of the post-election Democrats is insane and it feeds directly into the “boy who cried wolf” narrative that the Right is pushing. Not to mention they are normalizing trumpism.
pre election democrats were literally warning about everything that has been planned since tuesday…
the point is democrats always go the high road with “ok we must work together” regardless of what evil shit republicans do because they put too much (imo) trust in the jimmy stewart era
I have never felt a desire to become a terrorist. Until Tuesday night.
Press X to doubt.
I really can’t understand the level of “history is over, here” most of the West seems to be on. It’s a delusion that has to break down eventually, but apparently we’re not there yet.
“The American experiment endures”
“The American Experiment” amazing how full of shit this thinking is, basically american exceptionalism
bases the government on historical examples
pretends they invented the idea
I mean, it’s a pretty American thing to do.
It’s a repeat of a historical experiment, and he’s fiddling while it burns.
Says the neoliberal shitbag who appointed a conservative traitor to NOT prosecute Trump. The same shitbag who should NOT have run in the first fucking place. And now the DNC is going to tack even further right.
Historically, fascism is only defeated through violence, but in this case, that violence needs to happen inside our own house. The DNC needs to purge itself of neoliberals and conservatives just in case there’s another shot at salvaging democracy. DNC neoliberals are the deadly threat closest to us.
he was literally in the middle of being prosecuted… blame trump appointed judges for delaying.
Garland (an actual Republican) waited two and a half years to even START investigating, and he only did that after congress publicly humiliated him by placing a mountain of evidence at his doorstep.
If we had a real AG and not a conservative, Trump would have been properly prosecuted and countless lives would have been saved.
Merrick Garland sat on his hands for 2.5 years, intentionally letting Trump off the hook. I hope he is Trump’s first victim in the prison camps.
the ag doesn’t prosecute cases,federal prosecutors do and it takes time to build cases
The AG assigns the goddamned case. What are you smoking?!
which he literally did which is what i said in the original post…
Which he waited two and a half fucking years to even begin. He had no one assigned for TWO AND A HALF YEARS. If congress didn’t publicly shame him, he would have never started.
Why are you defending a conservative who tried to let Trump sneak by and who literally failed to complete a prosecution after FOUR YEARS? Please stop. Your fascism is showing.
ah yes i’m the fascist yet you’re the one who said you wanted trump to prosecute garland for no reason
You are going to be fine
Stop with the Lemmy circle jerk
You are going to be fine
You can’t know that. If you don’t want to hear people’s despair, that’s fine, block it. But don’t pretend that has anything to do with some supposedly “fine” future – just be upfront about the fact that you don’t care. Might as well; uncaring people are doing pretty well for themselves these days.
It must be nice being a rich white man.
I would rather overreact and we all end up fine than underreact and watch my friends be imprisoned and/or executed.
You know there are people in this world today who actually have to deal with issues without playing a victim online after an election campaign.
Tasteless
You mean like Ukrainians? When Putin just won the election?
Anywhere people are living under occupation…
That clown ain’t getting imprisoned or executed.
Hyperbolic statement is tasteless.
My mother and sister will lose access to healthcare after the Republicans repeal Obamacare.
They will lose access to food aid when the federal entitlement programs are gutted.
Suffering is not a competition. Your broken leg doesn’t heal my broken arm.
You find our laments annoying? Hold on sunshine, because we’re just getting started.
watch my friends be imprisoned and/or executed.
The original claim.
Obama care is not getting repealed it makes insurance parasites too much money. Red herring there too…
Trump again calls to ‘replace’ Obamacare, reopening a fight Republicans tried to close.
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises ‘massive reform’ if Trump wins.
Insurance companies aren’t the ones in charge.
You may continue to believe one person’s suffering is more important than another, and you can try to shout down anyone expressing any fears you personally don’t “vibe” with. I’m not going to tone police you. But someday, you might find yourself needing to speak out, and I hope you meet someone like yourself when that happens. I’m sure you’ll feel grateful to them.
He promised the same in 2016 but here we are 🤡
A lot of people thought that Roe v. Wade would never get repealed, either.
People keep ignoring the terrible shit Republicans say that they want to do, because they’re skeptical that it’ll happen. If you don’t want bad things to happen, then quit voting for people who say that they want to do bad things.
🤦
Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.
The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court – which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.
But you knew that. In which case you’re being disingenuous. Or you didn’t. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it’s pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I’m through teaching Civics 101 for the day.
What about the 25million Latinos in the US that project 2025 wants to denaturalize forcibly?
Ah yes. Like LGBTQ+ people?
Do you have any evidence that Trump wants to imprison and execute LGBT people?
Tell that to the families who lost daughters due to the fact that doctors legally couldn’t help them during miscarriages.
Rich old white dudes are going to be ok.
Aw man…I’m just a broke middle aged white guy…
Hate to break it to you, we’re still near the top of the heap.
Honestly him getting re-elected is the first time in my life where I felt the absolute gravity of “Oh, THIS is white privilege” like theres no fuckin nuance to this. I’m straight, white and middle aged. If I say the right things I’ll probably be fine, not much is going to change for me.
I cant say the same for a lot of other people.
I know what you mean, but I think lying under racism is classism, and the trumpers are a party to service rich people. I doubt they will take care of their “base”. Did Trump do anything for the impoverished whites last time? I dont remember.
He gave them table scraps while feasting with his cronies (remember those COVID checks?).
I mean, you say that, but even straight white guys often have wives and/or daughters.
“nothing will fundamentally change”
Oh look… it’s Genocide Joe.
Get ready for Uber genocide donnie
Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.
Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D
It works on liberals because they pretend to be the “good” cop. Give something similar to Trump and you’ll just be flattering him and his white supremacist base. They want genocide.

I mean, maybe. I’m calling it that at least one Democratic party figure will get gotten in a show trial.
Jack Smith, James or Merchan
Not encouraging in the context of implementing harm reduction in the short time we have left. This stupid old fuck is going to smile and nod his way into the grave while wishing us all the best.
Rich dems and republicans, we’re all friends you see. We only differ in the degree of our ideology. We’re not actually opposed. We’ll all be fine. In fact we’re all going to the country club for a round of golf and some champagne later today. You poor suckers are screwed as always, but that’s life.
They agree that nothing should ever be able to touch their money or power
Well I guess that if your only opportunity of touching grass is at a country club, then they’re the most out of touch Americans who probably still think video games cause violence and swear Harvard is the best place for their kids/grandkids even though it was historically a puritan group who hated the idea of religious freedom. I guess when it comes to the top we aren’t all that different, so when it comes to the bottom and (the seemingly non-existent) middle classes they want us to hate each other yet come together like they do, but forget to realize that half of these lower class folks will likely commit acts of terror for a free tank of gas and a pack of marlboro reds. Inequality by class is the worst when nobody upper class even tries to see it.
You’ll be dead before you see the full fallout of this disaster.
‘We’re going to be OK’ is copium for ‘we’re not ok now.’
I thought the headline was not conveying the emphasise. “We’re going to be ok” says member of the owning class.
