I didn't watch elections, in fact i didn't even vote because I realized that no matter what I do in a large scale it don't mtter much.The truth is that very few people are sperging out about Trump being elected a second time. I walked down to the basement in my building to get the lay of the land with the laborers that unload trucks at the dock and they were bummed but not upset. (Majority black men.) The only people sperging out are the people addicted to hating Trump. The truth is Trump's first term was a nothingburger so Americans are over it.
The big thing is the border, turn that switch off and start deportations and a lot of things will start sliding into place. It appears Kamala sharting herself on policy is what sank her, which surprises me because I have never witnessed other Americans paying attention to policy details before! Or maybe they just realized she was lying, who knows.
The case for Kamala was really interesting, all the enthusiasm online really was ginned up by paid endorsements and bot farms. I have never witnessed such a thing before. I also think Kamala didn't actually want it, her concession speech was fascinating. She looked very relieved not to be president.
All in all I think Trump supporters are setting themselves up for a huge fall but that's another thread. Time to get through the second term.
Wrt Josh and Didl Drip, a lot of people including me were expecting social issues to be Republicans' Achilles heel and in many stretches of the country this is still the case. No one was expecting Americans to finally, FINALLY, figure out that an open border is bad actually and vote on that. Americans have pretended "open borders are good" for 50 years, this is the first moment in my life time where other citizens went "wait is illegal immigration a bad thing???" And voted in big enough numbers to make a difference. Didl is intimidated and not posting because she doesn't want to be cyberbullied. Josh cannot janny and look after the Didl account at the same time.
I will say, however, that some city reddit subs like New Jersey is coping really hard about how lazy democrats at home fucked themselves up and shit, but the truth is, Copmala is just a proxy for Biden and many democrats I knew were not feeling for her.
What pisses me off since I worked in immigration is that how legal immigrants get fucked no matter what. Votes democrats in? illegals clog up self-funded government agencies that should work for legal aliens. Vote for republican? They will slash immigration all across the board and legal immigrants will get shafted or at the very lease, be stuck with extra burden of "proofs." But I don't talk about this with others because left or right, people have completely wrong ideas about immigration and I am not going to sit down for 4 hours to explain it all, and peopel still won't care.
Meanwhile, in UnethicalLife Protips, people are asking whether it's OK to report a Mexican neighbor who voted for Trump and lives with illegal parents. lol.
