i'm team kamala, but i have some hope the world won't end. how much shit will hit the fan?

i couldn't tell you much about either of their policies, think i wanted to save my sanity and i don't have much skin in the game. i'm not engaged in anything other than hot-button topics, really. and i worry about the threat of the religious right.
don't think campaigning for abortion is the slam dunk it might have been if it were an australian election.
the gun violence problem may not have been fixed under kamala, but at least it would probably have been attempted. healthcare likely a few swirls closer to the bottom of the toilet bowl. but over there, that's dirty socialism.
if we assume he's someone that won't keep his own word, then there's terrible things he's promised to do that he'll punt... some of what will come will be out of the blue.

hopefully the ripples will be small and i can continue to live in ignorance. if kamala somehow wins i can cheer and delete this post.

Yep lets hope the best for everyone

American's would rather more of the same from Trump instead of more of the same tired government Harris would have been Biden 2.0.

I think secretly a lot of them like chaos and drama. They’ve been saying the US has outperformed all other G7 countries since Covid. Not sure what your tired government refers to.

Inflation also went up massively under Biden. Seems to me someone is very biased

Inflation went up massively globally, I wonder what global event caused this.....lol.

Too many people just blaming "misogyny" for Kamala losing. Unbelievable

The Voice only failed because of "racism"

Brexit only failed because of "racism"

See a pattern?

So predictable. Happens every time.

Harris not speaking tonight.

Think it’s time we all hit the sauce, then wait for the magical midnight vote flipper to do its thing.

 

[OneGreatClub]

Annoyed but far from surprised. America is such a stupid country.

Yeah, we just have to accept it and watch the fallout from afar..and near.

 

[Sir_Loin]

To be fair, inflation & the economy under the Biden admin has been solid, introducing tariffs sure as hell won't improve it.

As for WW3.. who knows. Trump doesn't value the US as a superpower and seem happy to let China & Russia do as they please.

And North Korea and Venezuela

I used to love negotiating with campaigners like trump. Tickle their belly and they will roll

 

[bourbons]

Harris HQ just announced she won't be speaking tonight, looks like they've all but conceded.

Very surprised Trump wasn't on TV claiming it hours ago.

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

Australians celebrating a Trump presidency makes no sense to me. Like, what exactly are you celebrating?

Americans who voted for him I understand.

 

[magpie_marty]

Not sure he had a crypto policy.

Maybe they think he'll give crypto a bigger space in the economy?

Is it the new gold measure - people anticipating chaos?

Barron suggested it to his father.

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Haha dum dum clueless Americans .... you reap what you sow I guess ..... how the fk that this pompous lying idiot has been voted back is just mind blowing

Trump will make sure no 1 gets looked after first and then he make sure his crony rich mates are all comfy and sweet ...... and the rest of USA & the World will just have to make do and wallow in his glorious aura and GAGF.

They will be popping champagne in the Kremlin

"So, Dad, hear me out. Pogs are coming back and... "

Feel sorry for all the women who voted for Trump that will now be attacked by the misogynistic lefty men. No doubt they're raging that the women didn't do as they were told.

 

[FlowersByIrene]

New York Times has called Georgia, the Associated Press still dragging it out waiting for my WSJ tracker to update.

Well Trump and MAGA have been decades in the making and it will be decades to get them out again, if ever.

she might win this

Gender gap went from 57% women 42% men for Dems in 2020 to 54% women 44% men for Dems in 2024.
Kamala LOST votes to women.

Very surprise, I call FAKE News. Trump won because of the Suburban and blue collar votes and interestingly the Hispanic votes (I guess they want that wall).

A much safer world, an end to war and international push back on globalism and ESG are good for all.

it won't impact farmers as such, they can still import 'parts' without tariffs, as long as manufacturing of the final product is completed in the USA.

for example, a brewery can import the beer & dry goods without tariffs, but they have to bottle & 'manufacture' it in the US.

Any tariff will be met with a retalitory tariff so someone in US loses.

I mean, if the Aussie dollar tanks as a result of Trump winning it will make all our imports more expensive, pushing up inflation and make us wait even longer for an interest rate cut. Trump winning actually hurts our hip pocket from the get go.

That's what Chas from Planet America said.

There’s a bunch of Aussies who think they’re edgy by doing so.

What's their plan?

Trump won because Democrats choose a poor candidate. who represented nothing different than the current guy. She couldn't admit a mistake and couldn't say how she would differ from Biden.

Also a country without Borders is no longer a country. The illegal aliens issue became bigger than ben hur due to illegals taking over apartment complexs and the rise in violence.
