Nobody remembers the Germans that resisted the Nazis. Once they took control history judges all of Germany as complicit. Expect no grace. Voting, protesting, anything else is never going to remove the stain from all of us.
All of us are about to get screwed. Yet only those who voted for Harris understand that. Trump and third party voters, plus those who didn’t vote won’t either know they are getting hurt, blame Biden, or won’t care as long as Trump continues to be racist.
Beyond comprehension that majority of voters wanted the worst of humanity back in office again. A democracy requires an educated electorate, which sadly we do not have. Instead, voters unaware of complex issues that can't be explained with sound bites & who can't distinguish between truth and lies.
Nah it's just the institutions. The Media, The Justice System, Outdated Electoral College. It's been bad for 40+ years and many could see it leading to this place.
No, we don’t. I don’t nor does the millions of people who voted time and time again to save democracy from the GOP’s bag of racists, misogynists, and religious nutters.
I’m almost 47, and since the election results, I have been mourning the coming destruction of this country. I mourn because, in my lifetime, I know I’ll never see society recover from this. I also mourn the reality that my kids will have to deal with this madness for much of their lives too.
I don't know which "we" you're naming here. My "we" voted for "more and better Democrats," and were stymied by incompetence at the national level, corruption in the judiciary, and cowardice from the DOJ.
I didn’t do this. Nor did 92% of Black Women. So “we” didn’t do this - a subset (49.9%) of horrible hating racist homophobic transphobic xenophobic people did.
Dems failed us when they couldn't manage to get a non-felon candidate elected. Voters failed us for being so damn ignorant about the issues that they believe the fiction spewed by news organizations. The world is laughing at us.
"we"?...I didn't do this. I did all the things that were asked of me. I donated money and time, I got ppl to vote., I stayed informed. "They" did it. MAGA and the assholes who couldn't be bothered to vote. We will all suffer because of them.
Reagan’s embrace of evangelical support fueled the culture wars, aligning Big Business with right-wing evangelicals in a pact that overlooked long-term consequences.
Tax cuts for the rich in exchange for pushing a divisive agenda—this was the deal.
I can't help but ponder that if the reaction to the 2008 crash absolutely caused by GWB and wall street, had been bolder and more people focused, we might have been able to save ourselves from the death spiral we've been in for decades.
Instead, we let McConnell + the ppl he takes money from 1/2
Sabotage the Obama presidency for 8 years, causing an under informed population to elect the most obvious con artist. I think the Bernie Bros tend to lean "annoying" to me, but I think its undeniable that his platform was and still is the right one - and the only chance the dems still have
I’m optimistic that the Trump administration will be an unmitigated disaster. Along with the rest of us, MAGA cult members will be irrevocably harmed. In our recovery, we will advance toward the country we all hope for. How long it will take is the question. My guess not as long as you think.
I don't feel complicit in the chaos about to happen. But I sure feel like we're all going to be victims. We all have to find a way to cope until something else happens. I'm holding on to the universe making right what's about to go wrong.

We get what we deserve.
This is on the DOJ and complacent politicians who didn’t see TFG as a threat even after he sent goons to the Capitol.

Biden is POTUS. The failure of all of this is on him.
