A vote for Trump is a vote to end America. It really is that simple. If there is one thing I hope future generations rally around and condemn is Trump voters. I hope they are shamed for eternity.
America won't disappear because some elderly man is throwing tantrums every day.
If that's all you think it is then you've been under a rock.
Clearly the world is burning down. Not much has changed besides things being a bit more expensive.
And, you know, the dissolving of rights, kidnapping immigrants, putting children in handcuffs, the openly fascist plan being played out that just hit the 50% goal of destroying our government and replacing it with fascist theocracy, but yeah, pretty much the same as always, right?
Basically.
I wish Lemmy had a remind me bot so I could come back to this comment in 6 months. It takes time for Trade and Tourism to drop off, and more time for the effects of that to be noticed by the average citizen who is having the reality of the situation hidden from them by the propaganda machine of the oligarchs.
@remindme@mstdn.social 6 months
@grue Ok, I will remind you on Thursday Feb 5, 2026 at 10:14 PM UTC.
We started realizing it on Friday but then Mango Mussolini shot the messenger.
America won't disappear in 6 months either even if you are right.
And the Earth won't disappear if we do nothing about global warming. It will just become uninhabital for human life.
So sure, the land mass will still exist, but maybe raise the bar a little bit...
I mean, I know this isn't the point, but humans won't go extinct then either.
Right. There will be small desperate colonies trying to figure out how to survive underground/in space, but humans won't be extinct.
Raise. The fucking. Bar. A little.
This resigned nihilism is why we're here in this situation, wishing we could smack people like you through the screen somehow.
Hey now! I voted for kamala!
Something will happen but honestly I have no idea what the "sides" will be.
A lot of what made the US a superpower has already disappeared. Its alliances with Europe and the Commonwealth. Its influence on global trade. Its influence on global institutions. Its soft power through things like USAID.
