Jimmy Kimmel said it well. It was a terrible night for those who voted for Trump. They just don’t know it yet. I walk through several examples of why that is in today’s piece: https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/its-find-out-time?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
It’s Find Out Time

I've been telling people to start a list of everyone they know who voted for trump -- keep it and save it for when the time is right.

@jaykuo the "good" news is also that if Project 2025 is enacted, the US won't be the world's dominant super power by 2030 any more...

You will become impoverished (except for the billionaire class), sick, with probably one the lowest life expectancies (vaccines, food and workplace safety, environmental issues, natural disasters) in the developed world, falling behind in the sciences (don't expect any Nobel prizes after '35 for the US).

I'll start practicing my A1 level Mandarin now...

@jaykuo they will suffer, and the reaction will be to elect someone even worse than Trump.
Show threadblterribleNov 8, 2024

@jaykuo Trump will convince them that they are sacrificing to alter the character of country for the better and they will lap it up.

Let them all suffer. Sadly, we don't live in a reality where the people that make suffering inevitable are the ones who most suffer.

@jaykuo and a terrible day for those who didn’t vote: either because they had the right stolen from them, or because they just couldn’t bother.

Mostly though - those who refrained in protest, or to some way “send a message” - didn’t actually _choose_better_ but _did_nothing_ ceding triumph to evil.

Americans needed to win a literal domestic war with fascism; starting decades behind. FFS can’t even pretend that American exceptionalism is anything other than kleptocracy.

@jaykuo this is why I continue to tell people who want to gloat or tell me we have to now get along and make peace: “I hope you get everything that you voted for.”

@jaykuo More people stayed home and just did not vote this year than in 2020. They also lost. We all did, but mostly those who refuse to vote and those who voted for Trump.

@jaykuo They will reap the whirlwind they have sown; sadly, so will the rest of US. As a 76 year old life long Democrat and proud Liberal, I am ashamed of my country. We had a choice between hope and hate and the dirt belt picked hate. As a Californian I feel luckier than most because we are strong, diverse, and will fight back. If you come for my neighbors, what ever their skin tone or sexual identity I'll be in front of them! Two fingers up, you'll never be my president. I don't do RAPISTS!

Durchaus möglich, dass zahlreiche Trump-Wähler schon vor der inauguration im januar arbeitslos sind. Ebenso aber Harris-Wähler und die vielen, die nicht gewählt haben, obwohl sie es konnten, und die die nicht wählen konnten.
