We will be completely unrecognizable in four years. Stay safe, everyone.
Yup. Things are different now.
Oh goody, now comes the endless wave of media outlets dick riding Trump talking points for 4 years…
Here comes? They never stopped! And they worked overtime framing everything Harris needed to be perfect, then cover Trump talking just word salad and writing a positive interpretation of what they thought he meant by it.
You’re right, that was my last shred of light hearted banter regarding the shift that about to happen. It’s all downhill from here, but good news is that after this is all said and done I’m sure democrats will be right there to state the obvious after the fact. Always a day late and a dollar short.
So are we comfortable saying ACA is gone?
Say goodbye to all social services.
Incoming Concepts of a Plan Act
COAP
very likely imo. the black guy enacted it, and the republicans are supine bitches who will do as commanded.
Yep, it will be up to 5 republicans in the house to save anything, ACA, IRA, Medicaid, etc. Our only hope is that they remember the blue wave rebuke of Trump in 2018 and choose to be moderate. But they can easily flip the coin the other way and know this is the end times and they need to ram through all the terrible shit fast.
midterms are not guaranteed to happen. the traitors own us. at least for now.
So he’s gonna adopt the entire dictator playbook, but leave out the one single page about “purges”?
Well, yes, of course this is assuming he is stopped from going full dictator. That could easily happen, but it would be terrible for the economy so…and I never thought I’d say this…but thankfully deep pocketed lobbyists will mostly be trying to keep the current state of democracy intact. If we go full monarchy, it’s not great for business…
But again, coin flip, end times, and we’re all super fucked anyway so the ACA is the least of our concerns.
I mean, if the shareholders can pull a pump and dump before the economy hits the fan…then that’s absolutely what’s going to happen. Thinking about anything beyond the next quarter is not standard corporate practice.
I’m expecting to be rounded up and put in a camp the first year, but it’s gonna be even worse than that? Shit.
I really don’t know how bad it’ll get. Bad, for sure. I wonder whether he’ll give away Alaska in exchange for some gaudy hotel in Moscow.
Alaska votes for him, and it has oil. He’ll keep it. He might sell Puerto Rico, though.
And all of the corporate news execs are elated because for the next 4 years they don’t have to worry about running out of news; because they think they’re safe.
They’re just going to reshape in his image. Kowtow. Then, what you think is news and what you need to hear won’t be on any network. Many of the same people may still be there. They just won’t be saying the things they used to say and will be trying to sound like the winning side, and that they were always there. Showing that they never had any backbone to begin with.
You apes did this to yourselves.
No, the uber-wealthy who control the media - among extreme influence over most other things through their financial sway - have been doing most of the damage for at least a few decades now. It’s a story repeated throughout history.
