It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I’m not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.
Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?
What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

Do you want to start the direct action to disrupt their agenda or should I? If we do that, our lives are over. If we don’t do it, our lives may be over at a later date or it may only make it unpleasant.
There lies the problem. You have to have enough people willing to give it all and this country does not allow for that because at every moment we are desperately trying to survive. Hard to fight back from that position.
I was thinking about this, and how it’s hard to organize without being infiltrated by cops or bootlickers.
And yeah as much as I want to thanos snap away the right wing, I don’t want to die or go to jail.
But somehow the right wing got a whole riot going for their Jan 6 insurrection. They’re not any richer. Just more hateful and stupid.
Those investigating those sorts of actions lean rightwing. Those encouraging the right wing are very rich and have a lot of reach with their message. And yes, hate is very effective and easy to build a group. Doesn’t last though. But who cares about that? Once they’re in power they can lock it in and oppress the people who just voted for them to ensure they can never change it. Weeeee
