what the actual fuck America


A new dark age is about to befall this country. The people have voted for a repressive, racist, misogynistic regime that is all about vengeance and absolute power. And hate. The senile fascist Donald Trump, the repressive christian nationalist JD Vance, the self inflated billionaire Putin buddy Elon Musk, the nazi Steven Miller, the anti vaxxer and anti public health Robert Kennedy Jr; these are who the people in this country have put in charge. Why? Because even the good people are racist and misogynistic. If Harris had been a white male, she would have won by a landslide. The people of this country would rather have the slime they elected than a woman and a black woman at that who would continue the policies that brought this country back from an economy teetering on the edge of a depression from Trump’s disastrous first term to being the strongest in the world in a record amount of time, that strengthened our standing as a world leader, that created a record amount of jobs, that brought manufacturing back and supported unions, that finally started repairing our crumbling infrastructure, that has produced record highs in the stock market, that instituted measures to benefit the common people instead of the millionaires and billionaires. 


Donald Trump did not get more votes than he did last election. He didn’t win because more people voted for him than last time, in fact he got less votes. He won because the people in this country, the ones who would not vote for him also would not vote for a woman regardless of how qualified she is. I am just sick at how much hate there is in this country toward women and toward everyone who is not a white cisgendered christian male.


Well, America, you got what you wished for, either through action or inaction. You have brought on yourself a world of hurt. You will receive your just desserts and I hope you choke on it. When Musk tanks the economy because he says you have to suffer hardship, when Kennedy destroys the public health of this nation, when your children start dying from preventable disease, when there is no FEMA to come to the aid of your community when it’s destroyed by the next hurricane or tornado or wildfire, when you lose your social security and medicare, when you lose your health insurance, when you lose your job and home and business because a billionaire thinks you need to suffer hardship, when your neighbors get rounded up for deportation and their earned citizenship or legal status revoked, when you are incarcerated for opposing dear leader, when American troops are used against you on American soil, when Trump gives Russia Ukraine and turns a blind eye when Putin invades the next country, when Trump tells Netanyahu finish the genocide in Gaza so his son in law can build resorts on the coast, when your rights are revoked, when repressive religious policies are imposed, when you realize there are no guardrails this time around only loyalists and boot lickers, when all those high prices you have complained about don’t come down but increase instead, when you finally realize that Trump doesn’t give a fuck about you, when the constitution becomes a tattered idea you wouldn’t stand up for, when it is far too late for regrets I want you to remember that you did this.


I am devastated that this country has shown us once again how little it thinks of women, that a senile misogynistic racist, adjudicated rapist and self proclaimed sexual abuser, and convicted felon whose previous administration members have said how dangerous and unfit for office he is, and who is bent on revenge is a better choice than a highly qualified woman who has spent her life in service to protect the American people.

  1. One can only conclude that Americans went into this with eyes wide open. They have seen the daily decline in cognitive function of a rambling old man who can barely hold a thought together, they have read the warnings of incipient fascism, they know that he overturned Roe v Wade and now threatens to take care of women “whether they like it or not”, he lies constantly and invents scenarios that don’t exist, he cherishes dictators, is a convicted felon, sexual predator, twice impeached, will abandon NATO, give Putin a free hand in Ukraine, mount an assault on freedom of the press, trash the environment …..and on and on. And should he become incapacitated J.D. Vance is ready to fill the breach and he is perhaps worse. Yet knowing all of this Americans rewarded him with a second term as president. The experiment with democracy is over. Autocracy is ascendant and imminent. The United States you knew is gone forever. And if you think that Trump (or Vance) will leave the White House in four years you are delusional!

  2. Remember it's a slim majority, not all Americans. Time to concentrate on the ones who didin't vote for this and who need to get to work now.

    1. but different than his last administration. no guard rails this time. he has the Supreme Court that gave him immunity and the Senate and very possibly the House as well and they are more prepared. still don't know how to govern but that's not the plan. the plan is to wreck it.

  3. You spoke out loud all of my fears that I have been trying to keep silent within me. Not because I have any fear that speaking them will keep them from happening. Far from it. But because I just can't face it right now. I guess the days for that stupid attitude are over.

    1. better to face it than have it sneak up on you which I think is going to happen to a lot of people who voted for him.

  5. The one bright spot (for me) is the fact that those who voted for the Orange Lump will be treated the same as those who did not! He doesn't give a rat's ass about anyone but himself!

    1. he will give Ukraine to Putin and people will be shocked when Putin goes after the Balkans and Poland and Trump will let him. he will do nothing to stop Netanyahu and has told him to finish the job. Jared wants to build resorts on the Gaza coast. and that's just for starters.

  9. I think he makes it till just before or just after midterms before being pushed out by Vance. Either way, if we flip both houses in ‘26, it’s over for them. I just hope we can win it back in ‘28.

    2. I'm not that optimistic. the first thing this new republican Senate is going to do is get rid of the filibuster. he already has the Supreme Court and if he gets the House? they have no respect for the law and there will be nothing to stop them.

  10. All doom and gloom here. Do I leave this country and leave behind any benfits I have that I paid for with my working hours, or do I stay just to get what is rightfully mine? Or maybe I will be deported and saved the cost of transportation? Where, exacty will he send all the millions he plans to deport? My brain hurts when I think about the shitshow that is about to happen. This is just the beginning.

    1. If I was young with no kids yet I'd seriously consider leaving. but trying to move my kids and grandkids all to some other country is an impossible task. hate crimes against POC, women, other religions, and other language speaker increased like 300% in his first term. it will be even worse this time. it's already starting.

    1. our worst fears have come to pass. Americans are a racist and sexist bunch. if that was all, that would be enough but they intend to impose religious extremism on us all as well.

  12. To quote H L Mencken: "As democracy is perfected, the office of the president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day, the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."

    1. they say great nations and empires have a shelf life of about 200 - 250 years. apparently we've reached the use by date of ours.

  14. We must hang on to hope, stay engaged, push back. There were protests today. Just keeping the noise level up is a good start.

    1. yes. perhaps when he makes good on his threat of using American troops on American soil against Americans to stifle dissent that will be his watershed.

  15. I voted for the future of this country, but my choice didn't win. I keep holding on with my fingernails that i'll wake up and that'll be a sick joke. My heart aches for my country.
