My biggest takeaway (so far) -- Democrats did just not show up to the polls for whatever reason. Trump's ceiling remained the same as indicated by the overall popular vote totals.. That's what's going to haunt this country for generations now that he'll be able to solidify a conservative Supreme Court for the next 30+ years.
Dear Republicans, You were complicit when the Access Hollywood tapes broke out, when he never released his tax returns, when he called John McCain a loser for getting captured, when he mocked a handicapped reporter, when he cheated on his wife with a porn star, when he called Nazis very fine people, when he separated migrant children from their families, when he believed Putin over American Intelligence, when he said COVID would magically disappear on its own, when he said injecting disinfectant might help, when he teargassed peaceful protestors, when he falsely claimed the 2020 election was stolen, when he inspired an insurrection on the Capitol and tried to hang Mike Pence, when he stole Classified Documents, when he became a convicted felon, when he sold "God Bless The USA" bibles that he printed in China, when several members of his cabinet said he was unfit, when two 4-Star generals said he's a fascist, when he suggested Liz Cheney be shot by a firing squad and when he finally built his wall right through the middle of America. THIS will forever be your legacy.
Reading these comments, laughing my ass off. This is almost as much fun as watching Rachel Madcow melting down last night, and Morning Joe this morning. Happy Days are hear again.
They don't care. They just won everything, so that's their justification. Trump got 3 million fewer votes than he did in 2020, Harris got 15 million fewer than Biden. Apparently those Dems don't care either. Why not??
Well, she said it was all about democracy and the rule of law, right? And America democratically and lawfully voted to end democracy and the rule of law. It's as if the country was offered a heart transplant and chose to pull the plug instead.
I can't believe it. What the hell is wrong with your fellow citizens? Can they not see through him? I'm just back home on the other side of the Atlantic after 10 days in NYC & intend to hunker down here to await for the fallout. Playing music loud & hoping it was all a dream. Cheers indeed!
My wife is the child of Eastern European jews, who escaped prior to WW2 and settled in NYC. As she told me this morning, her family's roots in the US lasted all of one generation. I went to bed last night before the results (6 hours ahead of EST), but awoke thinking all I needed to be concerned with was the Senate results. I don't recognize what the US has become.
As much as I want that to happen, I just don't see it. Sadly, I do think the Democrat Party is DOA. They have no identifiable, reliable, voting base other than African American women, and maybe AA males. That's only 13% of the potential electorate. As much as people thought the youth vote would go to the dems, it went decidely Maga. That's a foreboding omen as to the future. Oh, and just wait till the mass deportations and tariffs kick in. The mortgage interest rate kicked in high today, because the lenders are already scared shitless as to what a tariff induced trade war will do to the US economy. But, it was all about her emails in 2016, and the price of eggs this time. Yeah......
There's a line in "All The President's Men," where Deep Throat describes a party trick to Bob Woodward where Gordon Liddy puts his arm over a lighted match until his hair and flesh start to burn. Someone asked, "What's the trick?" Liddy said, "The trick is not minding." What last night tells me is that people just don't mind all of the horrible shit as long as none of it affects them directly. They will happily trade a couple of thousand migrant children for cheaper tomatoes.
"Four years and out is the only upside" His Supreme Court gave him a get out of jail card while he is President. What's to stop him cancelling the election and staying in the White House?

I couldn't believe it in 2016; I quadruple can't believe it today.
Ukraine. Does that mean that TrumPutin can claim a huge country to belong to Russia from now on?
My 2 cents. Mr. Trump is not a cause but a reflection of what this country has turned into. He didn’t start the fire.
I don't disagree. But that only makes it hurt more.
I can't believe our fellow citizens fell for this crap again. It's so depressing.
And once again the polls got it all wrong. Wasn't even close. What a sad day
I think the people who voted for Trump see themselves reflected in him. Sad that they feel that way.

We're all screwed. The big difference is that the people who voted for him won't know it until his policies kick in.

As Mick Jones (of The Clash) says at the beginnig of "Clampdown" "What Are We Gonna Do Now?"
Welcome to Nazi Germany. And the truly frightening part will be seeing which of our fellow countrymen are going to be collaborators.
I bet China's laughing there socks off.
It would appear that a majority of voters just want to fuck shit up.
If there is a world left in four years I do think we see the end of the republican party.
Four years and out is the only upside.

We're going to need a lot of music for the next four years.

Will you be laughing when they come for you?

The worst thing in this shell-shocked day after is that even music is not helping. I've been robbed.
Oh dear, well never mind...
Anne Frank would have been ratted out on day one in today's America.

It was in Lawrence of Arabia. Also in Alien Prometheus
EXACTLY!
Well, I used the Liddy reference.
Yeah it’s a good line no matter what film to be honest.
