The younger generation isn’t so gender intolerant. (Thank God!) Unfortunately, many of the older generation of politicians and voters still haven’t evolved past the gender prejudices and stereotypes of the last century. I say this as a frustrated older “BLUE” voter. Young Americans are our hope.
True. And if Christ were to show up, he'd be crucified again (by the good old Christian fundamentalists/evangelicals), only much sooner than the 1st time.
Interesting how someone like trump is a better pick than a competent woman or gay person… what kind of country do we really have?? It’s a lot different from the country I thought we had…
This is because the GOP weaponized intellect. The push to make Americans stupid is working and works well for republicans. Look how they mock liberal arts educations - they thrive off of people not having a basic understanding of civics, history and science. They demand blindly following.
I know so many people here in Arkansas that would be a so much SMARTER and more CARING president than the felon they say was elected, again. I think we should start standing up to the republican shenanigans in every state. I will never ever trust a republican again. Done.
Republicans believe everyone is guilty of breaking laws, lying on taxes, screwing folks out of money, cheating on the wife and yep, what's a little rape charge here and there, "everyone does it".
They like Trump because he brags about what they are guilty of or would like to be guilty of.
In Denmark, an opinion poll is conducted on how they would vote in the election if they had the opportunity.
85% would vote for Harris, 7% for Trump and 8% were undecided.
How the hell did the Idiot get so many votes - can anyone explain?
Hopefully, we only have to put up with the worst of him for two years. They say we have a chance to get the House in 2026. That doesn't solve everything, but it will help a ton!
This election was about racism. Kamala received much less votes than Hillary in 2016. Actually, Hillary got the people votes. If we were ready for a woman then, we should still be now
People wanted the simple lie, an answer to their problems. They don't want to think about how difficult the problems are they want solutions. Now. No waiting.
Trump offered simple solutions. Lies. But simple ones. Ones that told them not to think about it.
These are tough times we are living in, yes. We cannot know when or how it will end. Meanwhile, we will have to bear down and find our strength, and take care of ourselves and each other as best we can.
Wishing you the best, and that you get all you need.
The UK has it's own problems with the rise of the far right. Farage is using Trump as a role model.
Best of luck to all those living in interesting times x
I mean ... Half of these descriptors describe 75% of American presidents, the other half describes most or at least a dozen of them, no shit America elected another shitty president! We've done that a lot, just this time he is going after less-marginalized people too.
Probably because most of our former leaders have embodied at least a few of those same characteristics. Most have been racist, misogynistic, and homophobic.
Yes, Americans are ready for both. X, YouTube and other social media companies are making it difficult though. Have you seen the Russian and Iranian bots on yt?
You can count the good presidents who have made the country a better place for Americans.
Historically the majority were incompetent idiots who got the post for killing made up enemies in the military. Trump is just the more extreme iteration of idiots and he might decide to stay as dictator.
I am so done being angry and surprised. My new plan is to put my head down for four years and laugh my ass off at every disenchanted and angry MAGA who feels used and abused by “Agent Orange “
Funny thing is, we probably *have* had presidents with those traits before. Misogyny, racism, and homophobia for sure, at least by today's standards. Maybe not one who was the complete package, though, and it doesn't make resistance any less important, but this is something we've overcame before.

Have a good night!
Phuque-yes🙄
Just say you lack critical thinking skills and don’t know how to contribute to a real political conversation
I think most of America declared they are also all of those things!

I am positive we will have woman president in my life time. I am looking forward to that day.
No doubt we will have president from LGBTQ community too!
Speaking it into existence!
How the F can anybody be ready for another term of this?

Sadly but true !
It's not been an office held by many honourable men, has it...
it’s sad that no one could beat the rapist.
Is America ready for a felon president?
That alone is why America is the laughingstock of the entire world.
When I traveled to Europe during the felon's first (and illegal) term, I pretended I was from Canada.

Good times.
