In the same way, in the UK it would be possible to feel quite smug that at the moment we have a decent, grown up government. At the same time, we can see from the huge hate campaign against them, we could easily be where you are and worse in 2029.
I mean we’ve had it to an extent already here with Brexit and with much of the last Conservative govt (including the leadership) but Reform are so much worse and the elements that promoted Trump are promoting them.
We sent billions to Ukraine and the Israel/HAMAS conflict started. Not very peaceful. You can be a Democrat and still recognize that things were not that rosy for everyone.
I certainly remember the utter relief I felt as Joseph R Biden, Jr. took the oath of office. Thanks to the willfully ignorant low information Trump voters it was only a reprieve.
I do. And I remember what a breath of fresh air it was waking up in the mornings after 4 years of wondering what shitshow would be waiting for us each morning. It was literally a weight off the shoulders. Makes me wonder how many people forgot that feeling.
I refuse to give him that! I’m checking out mostly! I’ll inform myself once a day and the rest of the time I will try to help where I can. Welcome to Amerika!
Scary isn’t it.
Forgive me I dissed my patriotic duty of voting, didn’t re-register until 8-27-20.
It would of been a different world if we had Hillary Clinton as president in 2016, almost a decade, wow.
Fast forward 1-19-25, I am extremely concerned.
KOT will have a totally unchecked harmful admin
We had no such thing. We had four years of people in power refusing to take down a traitor and a felon and all of his enablers and make sure they got life in prison (including those in congress) and we watched the guy who won in 2020 spend hundreds of billions of taxpayer $$$ to fund genocide.
I have been posting the attached for awhile now but it's even more important to remember today - please know the vast majority of Canadians, your very good friends + neighbours, support your imminent resistance to this right-wing authoritarian regime #Resist + #DoNotObeyInAdvance 💙🌊💙 ...
This is what America wanted through voting and apathy. Those of us who voted against this, donated to stop it, or organized to fight it are in the minority. I will keep fighting for those that need it, but I won’t fool myself about what type of country America is.
This is why genocides happened and fascism expanded under Biden. This isn’t a team sport and none of these people are safe to trust and ignore. None are safe until all are safe. Your comfort and complacency brought us this fourth reich, and Dems will make more money than ever on manufactured rage
Yes, yes, yes. I never in a million years thought we would be hear again. I thought Trump would be in prison by now, not president of the USA. The highest position in our land. They voted for a racist, rapist, felon X34 wannabe dictator for God sake. Total insanity
Peace and quiet? What a lie. Nothing has been peaceful since 2016. The new normal just gets more and more insane woth every day and apparently we are all OK with it
Fuck peace and quiet...on Jan 20th 2021 I woke up feeling more secure that I wouldn't be suddenly vaporized because the orange idiot and his end of time fetishizers weren't in control of the nuclear codes anymore.
voters chose this by not voting or voting for him.Althoughbthis will not harm me personally it will harm others that were stupid enough to vote for him …
Insane things will be said and done daily. Will we react emotionally every time, with shock, fear, horror, righteous indignation and so on? Or will we find a way to live without the emotional responses? If we can do that, we might just find how best to respond? #mindfulness #anapana #equanimity
Actually I had hoped four years ago that we would stop hearing Trumps name everyday, but that didn’t happen. It was Trump all day every day. And now we’ll have four years of Trump and his cult blaming Biden for everything.
I refuse to blame “voters” after the 60+russian bomb threats on Election Day, musk breaking election laws, Trump saying he didn’t “need” votes- I blame the Dems for failing to protect us,they are so worried about appearing to be election deniers they ignored the facts and obvious issues on Nov.5
Yeah and when senate went dem! Boy was I wrong. I didn’t count on manchin, sinema, and scotus 😒 Like we had a week of bliss in ignorance. Oh and then when he was found guilty just to get elected again!! WTF
Peace and quiet feels like an overstatement. Horrible and insane things were also happening under Biden, people just didn’t care as much because it didn’t affect them directly. We must live and breathe solidarity
This is the FINAL DAY of democracy in the United States, as we know it. The blueprint for billionaire corruption is forged in steel. This will go on, and worsen, long after trump. Just like the old GOP Party is dead, so too will be the Democratic Party. The shift is irreversible. How will we adapt?
4 years of peace and quite for the exploiting class
Homelessness rose. We're funding an ongoing genocide. Something like 60% of people can't afford a $400 emergency. Abortion is basically banned in like half the country. We have more mass shootings than days in the year
I’ve stated a few times already and on my podcast
get your popcorn sit back and watch moment by moment the stupid ideas that come forth from Donald’s administration
No we didnt have 4 years of peave and quiet. the crackpot GOP was still there making life miserable, blocking good things, investigating Biden, Myorkas, Hunter Biden
No one would be in this situation if Democrats had not stayed home on election day. With each presidential candidate taking approximately 30.5% and 31.8% of the vote plus a small % that voted 'other' that left almost 37% of people who could vote that didn't - majority of them democrats.
That is indeed the saddest part. You’ll never know what kind of lunatic idea will pop up the next day. There is a certainty though , there will be one. Count on it.
Justice failed, the final straw to hold on to. IT failed right before our eyes.
It should have started a REVOLUTION, but instead we r to passive and insecure to take a stand!
They can settle in a backroom and go on with their day, where John Doe goes to prison for 20 years with a lifetime of face loss. (Justice?) Diplomatic immunity, not accountable?
The law is not there for us in the end, but so we can't get to them! And they can get to us REAL HARD!
Another 4 years of corporate GREED you meant, where even person shot a CEO.
While still every day 186 people die of poor healthcare.
While blue is in control!
They knew the 1st day they went into office that Trump would go for president again. What is done about it?
Uh, no. A whole mess of people were screaming into the void that Biden's election wasn't going to fix any of the institutions and systems that made him possible. Even if Harris had been elected, that would have just been a chance to do the hard work of rolling back 50 years of regressive policies.
Exactly this. A lot of people voted republican without being in the MAGA cult. They were upset because of the inflation. But in two years after the first act of the Trump shit show, they might have realized they got fooled. It's the only hope to save democracy.
I’ve been saying this but I fear that Trump supporters will continue to blame anything and everything on democrats and will continue to vote in republicans
Let them. IT’S THE 89 MILLION PEOPLE WHO DID NOT VOTE WHO WE BRING IN! Every time something bad happens we tell them it would not have if the had voted for Harris. We start talking to them NOW!
For sure. I will never sleep again worrying about domestic cuts to my only means of income SS and what nation may be come our enemy after decades of agreements.
The world is looking at America with incredulity, how can the criminal Trump be elected once let alone twice? I have seen a post which noted the world is laughing at America, laughing is an understatement.
We’re back where we are, IMO, because so many important people thought that things would automatically snap back to the way they were before 2016 & make Trump a pariah. They didn’t count on the right-wing media whitewashing Trump & the MSM normalizing him into a “realistic” alternative to Biden.
I, for one, won’t be tuning in to any news tomorrow. I will be turning my back to the bend the knee media. Hope you do too. As far as I’m concerned Harris won the election and she’ll be running the country. I refuse to lay eyes on the felon or his baby fat imp.
No???? Wtf??? We weren't safer under Biden, yall just got to go back to brunch and pretend the world wasn't on fire already. This is the outcome of thinking you "beat" facism with catch phrases.
If you truly believe the past 4 years were peaceful, it was an active choice of yours to disengage because Dems are awesome! Right? You know where I couldn't avoid paying attention to the regular horror of the world? TT
It was NOT peace and quiet at all. The headlines have been 99% rump since 2015. All the heroes and social justice warriors of the past are turning over in their graves day after day, trying to poke their middle finger bones up through the ground. I'm sick of it all!
No, I don’t remember feeling safe.
In the u.s. and globally, there is zero commitment to stop fossil fuel
emissions and habitat destruction.
On the current path of “BAU” we are heading toward mass extinction whether you are republican, democrat, independent or don’t vote at all.
😩.
And now we need to figure out which utterly insane thing will be implemented & what utterly insane thing is a distraction so that we focus on it instead of the latest grift.
My thoughts especially go out to people with any mental health challenges. That kind is backdrop to your life is so so toxic for people with mental health challenges.
But we didn’t have 4 years of peace and quiet. Sure, Biden was getting a lot done quietly, but Trump was the headline every single day of the past 4 years. And he’s going to be the headline next 4 years and I won’t be able to take it
Well, I think part of the responsibility of a citizen is to be there for democracy, even when it seems crazy--or maybe ESPECIALLY when things are. not calm and peaceful!
My world is shattered. Idaho already introduced a bill to repeal my marriage. My wife and I have had to make plans on how to abandon ship on a dime and I HATE that that’s a thing now.
Make plans to MOVE. You don't need to live in a right-wing sh*thole like Idaho. Like winter? Like snow? Come to Michigan. Like living next to Canada? Come to Michigan. Like 4-season living, plus better restaurants, more culture & LGBTQ-friendly living? Come to Michigan. Lots of jobs.
Unfortunately I don’t even live there😭 they want SCOTUS to make marriage equality up to the states and I life in Mississippi. A very red, very poor state, and I’m too broke to get out 😭😭😭
Agree. But we can’t be still and let him happen. We are boycotting FB for 10 days. All coming here. Will see if it works. Trying to chop a little bit of knee caps off. Been doing it to us
No actually. It didn't take long for it to become apparent that he would suffer no consequences for what he did and thus we would never truly be safe as long as he was alive.
Now none of us will ever be safe again. Nor will our children.
Comments
I never thought in my life, or my children’s, that I would utter those words.
We have to fight them off before they get into power, that much is clear.
I recognize
It will pass. Everything passes if we remain awake.
Forgive me I dissed my patriotic duty of voting, didn’t re-register until 8-27-20.

That is what I have enjoyed most about the Biden period!
The one that touches off a 2-week global dance party...
Four years of peace and quiet?
YOUR tax dollars were AND ARE STILL being laundered for profit by bombing hospitals, starving, torturing and massacring children in Gaza ..
But you live in a little white bubble, with "peace and quiet", is that it?
Project 2025.
But 67% of America needs to push back.
Anyone that thought that wouldn’t matter was naive and/or stupid
if they're alive, they're still a threat.
Homelessness rose. We're funding an ongoing genocide. Something like 60% of people can't afford a $400 emergency. Abortion is basically banned in like half the country. We have more mass shootings than days in the year

No Peace. No Sleep. No Happiness….. only hope!
It should have started a REVOLUTION, but instead we r to passive and insecure to take a stand!

*stares in Palestinian genocide that the Democrats supported enthusiastically*
Trump told about it days before the election . I was in chok .

😩.
On Face The Nation, magas were saying ISIS cells are within our borders that crossed illegally.
That is garbage because they could absolutely remove them.
It’s a narrative to do the unthinkable later and blame ISIS inside our borders.
Now none of us will ever be safe again. Nor will our children.
Guessing U didn't watch much news or Social Media
🍊🤡 & his cronies has been all over it spewing his💩💩 since he lost
4 years of prosperity - YES but I wouldn't exactly call it peaceful & most Definately not quiet
