So when Trump decides to go get Greenland he’s just going to fly in and kidnap our prime minister. Great. You have a unscrupulous and clinically insane idiot elected as your president and he wants to own the world. I have absolutely no trust in any of you Americans whether you are pronounced MAGA or if you “didn’t vote for the guy”: Your elected president is a megalomaniac dictator and it’s your fucking responsibility to stop him.

@luhmann I understand your anger, but don't blame the citizens. Their social safety nets and education systems have been dissassembled for essentially our entire lifetimes.

Not to mention the election was probably fraudulent. People don't say it online because the left doesn't want to sound like far right nutcase conspiracy theorists, but tell me you don't privately believe it was fraud.

If any of us had to face the odds they were facing, we wouldn't come up much better.

@BoysenberryCider @luhmann

The only rigging that happened was to convince the gullible to vote Trump or at least not vote at all.

The amount of "GenozideHarris" talk I saw (even here on Mastodon) before the elections was staggering.

Also, she wasn't left enough, etc. etc....

Hiding that behind some conspiracy theories might make you feel better, but face it - the US voters unleashed this idiot into the world.

@mndflayr @BoysenberryCider @luhmann denying that the USA engages in huge amounts of voter suppression at every level is actually the conspiracy theory, here

But the fucked up system of voter registration and gerrymandering is not what gave Trump this victory. The counts were pretty clear, way above what those factors could contribute.

@mndflayr @sidereal @BoysenberryCider yeah, we have plenty of people who supported him, but you can't ignore that the electoral college and the gerrymandering means that many people's votes literally don't matter. Btw, what's the longest you've ever waited in line to vote?

Never had those problems in Germany.
