Think how different it would be this morning if Harris had won: Trump would’ve claimed he won, he’d NEVER concede, he’d be yelling “stolen” election every day, his cheerleaders would be echoing the lie, there’d be fake lawsuits, his voters wouldn’t accept the result, and there’d be violence coming. - ThreadSky

But also the joy of a relatively save democracy..

blballard.bsky.social•123 days ago

The violence is still coming, just delayed until he makes everyone’s life miserable and then blames ‘the leftists’… because most minorities will already be targeted by then… happy Sunday, everyone!

ameliabeeesq.bsky.social•123 days ago

It would also be so different because we would be hearing about serious cabinet picks. People who were qualified and committed to making our lives better. We wouldn't be facing 4+ years of hate, chaos, and division.

tietonwx.bsky.social•123 days ago

And if Mitch McConnell had a spine, he could’ve prevented this whole situation from even happening if he would’ve allowed for Trump‘s impeachment

madorangeking.bsky.social•123 days ago

I dunno. Given the alternative we're now living through...?

Unfortunately, the next month or so is the best it will be for Americans for at least the next 4 years.

jamesjetsoften.bsky.social•123 days ago

There’s no win here, Joe. Our democracy and the rule of law would have more than a fighting chance. TY. ✨🤷🏻‍♂️

larklyn.bsky.social•123 days ago

So we should be grateful?👍

kirstenmavric.bsky.social•123 days ago

Strangely, still preferable to what we have now.

megatron33.bsky.social•123 days ago

Time to move on. No kore what ifs. Dems need to realize these silly little issues that affect very few . I.e. biological males playing sports with women, are issues 95% of country disagree with and their morally superior feelings gave us trump.

bodhi1952.bsky.social•123 days ago

In a very weird way, I think this needed to happen. The world needs to see what an actual four year term of his would be like… don’t forget his first term he had Obamas Economy, and then Covid hit. We haven’t really seen a full term from him. Despite his covid murders. Now they’ll see.

royalrenegade.bsky.social•123 days ago

He is going in with Bidens economy, which by many accounts is one of the strongest we've had in 50-100+ years depending on the statistic.

bodhi1952.bsky.social•123 days ago

My friends and I were just discussing this. He already took credit for the insulin $35 limit. He will absolutely take credit for Biden’s Economy and his followers will cheer because they don’t know how anything works.

flowerseveryday.bsky.social•123 days ago

He is going to mess up again. Bigly again. It will be all on him and his minions. He won't save them. We will all suffer but they will go back into their holes.

bodhi1952.bsky.social•123 days ago

He messed up historically first term. They either don’t care or the propaganda convinced them it was all ok: Covid. Jan 6. Kids ripped from mother’s arms. It’s all explained away or approved. We are broken. Death spiral in progress.

flowerseveryday.bsky.social•123 days ago

He did.

farflunggg.bsky.social•123 days ago

I really don't think he get through 4 years.

12thmcmahan.bsky.social•123 days ago

I hate to break it to you Joe, but the violence is baked in the cake either way. It’s part of their brand. It’s going to be a hard four years.

anderkat.bsky.social•122 days ago

Maybe this is why our country is so F*cked up because of people like you thinking this way.

timothy2223.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think you meant "stollen."

graypower.bsky.social•123 days ago

And we would be prepared for the violence. Kamala would have been building a strong cabinet.

neutralcanadian.bsky.social•123 days ago

Well…. He’d be yelling “stollen” 🤪😁

elonstench.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think you meant "stollen."

gigirvt.bsky.social•123 days ago

That’s nothing new though. We’d still have hope and joy and not an overwhelming sense of impending doom.

resistaustria.eu•123 days ago

Yea so let's all be super happy he won and can now destroy the US as well as the western world.

gregscott04.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think I’ve seen that movie.

bradyboy12.bsky.social•123 days ago

Everything is victim-blaming with the right & now we have to deal with constant chaos and it isn't Jan. I'm terrified for my disabled friends, a president shouldn't cause people to have to look up crisis numbers. America still hasn't lived up to its ideals: racism, transphobia, sexism still exists.

mssweetie.bsky.social•123 days ago

Crazy how that works, right?

wordsmith1961.bsky.social•123 days ago

Actually, they, in their hubris that causes them to believe that all humans by nature are "conservative", are still claiming those things about any of the down ballot races they lost. And that notwithstanding, violence will still be coming...

rogus69.bsky.social•123 days ago

Lock and load!

donlyn16.bsky.social•123 days ago

Still too painful to think about!🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦🏽‍♂️

howyoufeline.bsky.social•123 days ago

But he wouldn’t have been in power.

redstateliberal.bsky.social•123 days ago

Stand back and stand by.

rora2024.bsky.social•122 days ago

That is the ONLY good thing about him winning.

danimonde.bsky.social•123 days ago

Joe I love your passion ! They cheated there’s a video explaining

billreynolds.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think that’s true. Looking back? People were running red lights to get to the polls to vote for him. His whining about “the enemy within” which is basically stolen from RFK’s book, is ironic indeed.

itsbillyjay.bsky.social•123 days ago

Giving the maga incels too much credit. I don't think they would have done much by way of violence

nieta.bsky.social•123 days ago

Exactly!

tinablue70.bsky.social•122 days ago

All a Sh*tshow and no reprise. Makes me think that if Charles Manson were alive and ran for President, these morons would have voted for him. I’ll just try and take a nap for the next 4years or so. Wake me up when November 2028 ends.

etienneguy.bsky.social•123 days ago

Absolutely true. And even though they won, there will still be violence coming from them.

aiism-priest.bsky.social•123 days ago

I am going to be pleasantly surprised if there can be peace instead of violence during his time in office. The campaign to turn US into nazi germany has been too much successful and people will want to make it reality. By people I mean Antifa and their dreams of revolution.

vermaelen.bsky.social•123 days ago

Grab your musket, Joe. The violence is still coming.

michigandemocrat.bsky.social•123 days ago

So there would have been violence if he lost? Wait until you see the violence coming from his win.

donnamarie3.bsky.social•123 days ago

Exactly

cf-carl.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think there will be violence anyway. Not for the reasons you stated, but as resistance to Trump’s fascist regime, especially when his goons try arresting immigrants and also Project 2025. Unfortunately, that may be what’s needed in order to save what’s left of our democracy.

heatknight3.bsky.social•123 days ago

And instead, we are all just depressed and defeated

drlassyfare-boutte.bsky.social•123 days ago

The very fabric of democracy is being held by loose threads - connected by the people who have realized that defending that honor is not just a choice but a necessity. If we let this moment go, the cosmic adhesive of this existence will deteriorate faster than chocolate on a radiator in summer sun.

srudd.bsky.social•123 days ago

Sadly, that would have been a much better place to be in.

hgsmvm.bsky.social•123 days ago

There still will be violence coming with what he’s going to do. I would have much preferred the former than the latter.

tbas7000.bsky.social•123 days ago

Right there with you.

farflunggg.bsky.social•123 days ago

"It will be a bloody story"

farflunggg.bsky.social•123 days ago

So now we should be happy that they have been appeased?

gibbs00.bsky.social•123 days ago

She didn’t lose and we all know it. Washington just doesn’t want people to know because they are afraid of violence.

aarondetroit.bsky.social•123 days ago

Not to mention I would have consumed SOME news, whether MSNBC, podcasts, other over the past 2 weeks. Used to be a minimum of like 10 hrs/day.

And I wouldn't be spending so much time every day looking at lofts in Ottawa.

tbeistel.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think we’ll still have the violence. This was from the Short North in Columbus Ohio yesterday. Nazi’s marching, macing people and shouting racial slurs.

j-ill-q.bsky.social•123 days ago

Trump is still doing rallies?

jozik.bsky.social•122 days ago

He wasn't there AFAIK, but still it's frightening.

skybydoo.bsky.social•123 days ago

I think there will.still be violence. He is still a sore winner who wants to persecute his grievances.

dss53.bsky.social•123 days ago

Yes and the dems just pathetically hand everything over and tell us to keep fighting .

calikalo.bsky.social•123 days ago

There is violence coming, it will be directly targeted at women, ethnic and religious minorities, his "enemies," and people in blue states.

patsymavin.bsky.social•123 days ago

I assumed there would be a civil war regardless of the winner. Stunned that Ds in power rolled over immediately. There still may be violence once our dear billionaire leaders tell us peasants to eat cake. After all, there are hundreds of millions of weapons in this country.

4seasonstl.bsky.social•123 days ago

And that would be preferable to what we have instead: basically a terrorist, authoritarian, pro-Putin government coming in.

lorgriff.bsky.social•123 days ago

Now dictatorship and take over America for him to be king of all things in his country (Kingdom)

julianimperatorus.bsky.social•123 days ago

And yet the future would be so much brighter.

czul22.bsky.social•123 days ago

If Harris had won: I would be sleeping much better and not frightened about our future as a nation.
