73 million. Too big to rig.

(From France) The issue is not Trump. All his issues with the DOJ will be thrown out. He will spend most of his time golfing…The big issue that will destroy your government : the project 2025 cohort, Musk, RFK jr, and the GOP hard right. They will have free hand and total control. Bonne chance.

Tom, thank you for your perpective. Right now, I need to hear a sane voice.

Stop trying to make excuses for a 'kinder, gentler Trump - it is not your responsibility - we all feel your pain and are here to support you too! We KNOW who he is and what's coming for us - stay strong!

I finally cried today😢

No One saw this one coming, Least of all trumptard himself on day of Voting... He will Not change,that's just who he is. Over here in Europe they are Trump proofing everything knowing what's to come.

It makes little sense to me. 😢

Thanks for the video Tom, it's helpful for me to hear reasoned perspectives. We'll just take it a day at a time and climb each hill we encounter.

Thank you for all you do💙this person is not changing and we have seen this before.

This was a very useful take for me. I’m trying not to panic. I’m also hoping that his incredible laziness will be a help here and that his advisors will talk him out of the tariffs and mass deportation because they know it will tank the economy and they don’t want to go against their own interests. It won’t be to take care of the American people or to do the right thing but to protect their wealth.

maga is just a one term wonder guys amercans are not going to eat poop for two maga terms

america just got fed a poop burger,its even gunna be hard for maga to eat it

I appreciate your thoughts and fresh insights!

Great to see you! Much needed your efforts to help people to stay connected and support each other. Good message to our ears from you - be here, be now. Another one - don't worry, be happy. Harris did fantastic campaign, and enlightened people with message to look into future with hope and optimism, stay connected and positive. We lost by quantity, but not by quality. My thoughts on what went wrong. 1. Dems toasted themselves by avoiding rural areas for campaigning. 2. Scare tactic of MAGA Republicans worked a lot of people were scared go to the polls. 3. Religious factor was underestimated (this one is the touchiest one and for understanding its role I would look into historical parallels how dictators were coming to power with help of so-called religious nationalism, do not be mistaken with traditional religion). 4. Misinformation scales were disastrous, and government didn't do much about it, except a few accounts to re-battle it by announcing on news channels. 5. Overall, democracies in decline period, so, post-truth populist agenda harvesting brains. What could be done an immediate from my perspective (for people in despair out of result of this election) - first and most important one - relax and bring yourself to balance by focusing on everyday tasks, spending time with nature, in the library, listen to music, drink some wine, sing a song, read the book - small pleasing tasks. Do not blame yourself with what is out of your control, control what you could - your life, don't let other side to have the satisfaction that they won over you as a person, they are not. Once balanced - everything else will follow. There are a lot of people who already working hard to preserve democracy the best they could. Oh, there are already news out there for our "sweet revenge" and our "we told you so" feelings. MAGA members from famous MAGA movement, which were so worried about bad economy under the Biden, all of a sudden were in disbelief, that some of them won't receive any bonuses for Christmas, because company has to do the stash for tariffs coming. So, let's just relax and wait for the great awakening of MAGA to the reality, they have the power they wanted (isn't it is so classy to say - be careful what you are wishing for) Oh, and some of them all of a sudden were shockingly surprised, that Project 2025 is not a joke, and some Republicans openly start to tell them, that we lied to you about Trump has nothing to do with it. As for all of us, we should learn how to resist in correct way, even it sucks, that choice of this election will affect our life too. Best regards to this community.

Hope in one hand, 5h@t in the other, look which one filled with Trump first.

Keep putting identity politics ahead of the suffering of working people, this is what you get. Now the face-eating leopards are in charge. Hope you've got a hockey mask.

Appreciate your sane commentary Tom Worth Jr

Hopefully Trump wants to leave a legacy behind so he will grow up and become an adult? or am I dreaming?

Thank you Tom for coming back. I think what you did in the past weeks/months was very important and much needed. The fight for democracy is a never ending journey but now more than ever.

Thank you sir.

Sparkly, you must always know, whatever your personal circumstances, that you are a valued human being. Perhaps not loved by all(no one ever is) but loved by all who understand the power and significance of love. I'll share a story I heard in my youth. Public televisión once ran a documentary series called "The Long Search", an inquiry into the nature of religious faith. One episode featured an elderly black man who was raised in the south by his grandmother but became in adult life a distinguished academic. He recalled a childhood encounter with an older man who belittled him by calling him disparaging names. He ran home in tears, sharing the trauma with his grandmother. He said she looked him dead in the eyes and, digging deep into the reservoir of her accumulated wisdom, said: "..boy, you are not a "n"; you're God's child..". He went on to say that he then raised himself erect and, armed with that new sense of self, he'd now be able to withstand every atrocity that life might throw at him. Sparkly, I was so moved when I first heard that account. It moves me still to share it again. I tell you this so that you might know how treasured you truly are. Whatever the circumstances that define who you are, you too are a child of God. And as such you must live your life in light of that inheritance and vision. And NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise or steal the joy that is yours by right.

Good on you Tom Worth Jr. Perspective is everything, thank you for reminding. We are not fleeing rebel factions, running between bombed out refugee camps, or even navigating check points, the worst thing we have to deal with is some crime, some random gun violence, and some really obnoxious Trumpers with monster trucks floating gigantic flags driving aggressively. It could be so much worse.

This didn't age well 🤣🤣🤣👏🤡🤡

Yeah. Just don’t yell at the blue team to save everyone’s ass from the freight train that will run over all of us. America is just a bunch of racist bigots who hate women. We get it now. Loud and clear. I will act accordingly.

Nah man Don’t let a bunch of stupid hicks ruin your day let alone years

He picked a chief of staff with experience so that’s good. Maybe there will be some guardrails in place. I love your videos please keep them up. NE 2 btw NE 2 gave Harris our one electoral vote. ❤

Trump did the same thing in 2016, he's just happy about his win. It won't last and he'll go back to normal. Then when he messes up everyone else will be to blame and the average American will eat it up.

People were still struggling in 1936 election, but stayed with FDR. Landon only won 2 states that year. It wasn't about the price of eggs in 2024

I think you’re going to find nothing‘s going to happen to you. No one‘s rights were being taken away. Abortion will be settled at a state level. You are a victim as our many people in this country, including myself at one time, of nearly 10 years of hatemongering and fear baiting. It’s going to be just fine.

Bad news: dark times. On the other hand, dark times are like jet fuel for creativity and art. If that is any consolation. Keep an eye out for a new age...

I felt worse today than the day before. Instead of sitting at home I drove to the grocery store. I live in a densely Trumpian area of Virginia, so almost all of my neighbors are MAGA. I was determined to be extra kind to everyone I encountered. It made me feel good about myself. That, I can control.

yes there is tomorrow we can start to finish this fight for good by contacting all the officials in every state and demand a recount and we are not going to take this lying down we are going to keep fighting for our rights freedom and democracy

Tom, thanks for your words of wisdom and hope and your insights which are valuable.

I would never vote for Trump. I do not like him. But I wish that he has a successful presidency. I refuse to wallow in negativity. I accept the result. We'll feel sad for now, but let's eventually move on and stay positive.

When progressives told me that Trump was acting so crazy that he could never get elected,, I told them he's acting crazy because he wants a full mandate to be crazy. I figured that he would win but I thought there was like a 25% chance of Harris squeezing a narrow EC victory,, never dreaming that he would win the popular vote by millions. I hope that Trump doesn't do what he promised to do but I think he is.

The quiet before the storm. ACA is first on the chopping block. In the meantime, he will appear normal for awhile. He is a chameleon. And, he will play more golf.

I think the biggest reason Harris lost is because Biden decided to run for a second term. Biden should have left after 1 term. That way, there could have been a primary with several new candidates to choose from. It didn't happen, and that ended up being a disasterous mistake.

Don't count on Trump to be normal !

I just can't stop feeling sick. I understand the want to believe that this won't be so bad, but he is a narcissist on a revenge tour. I wanna believe that somehow he will be a benevolent king. I like that the stock is going down. I don't particularly worry about him doing anything but golfing and giving orders. I worry about Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Steve Bannon, not so much RFK Jr because I think he's gonna get thrown out on his ass the second he starts telling big pharma to take a hike. Especially with all the money they're about to make on antidepressants and anti anxiety meds. These men are getting on social media and saying "your body, my choice". As a woman I have a hard time feeling optimistic. I just see cloaked heads. Terrified for Europe. They're so scared. And I just feel so bad. I know I didn't do anything wrong, I didn't vote for him. But I could've done more

Yes, Tom, you're right. Hope and grace are as much a part of the human order as are despair and anxiety. We should never reach for anxiety willingly as long as the worst has not manifested itself. We should have faith even when the worst has. So, I agree, lets celebrate today for the good day that it is.

I hope you keep posting videos to get us through the next 4 years! It’s helpful to know that not everyone has lost their minds and their morals.

Still very shocked and sad. But glad we don’t have to experience 2 months of violence and screams of “cheating”, which is exactly what he would have done if he’d lost. I’m hoping he behaves like an adult this time. We can only hope.

What’s everyone’s take on project 2025 and what it’s going to mean for social security and Medicare? The other other thing that’s just eating at me is is he really going to leave in four years? Are we really going to have another election in four years? Is the United States as we know it over? Feeling stressed 😩

Its really good to see you Tom. Every time I do I am comforted by your kind demeanor and efforts at reassurance. Your talk about having perspective just now was especially useful. I think that way myself but its always good to see and hear fellow travellers. I saw yesterday's post but couldnt summon the will to comment. I was still too numb and shell shocked. Tom you've mustered a good little community under your little banner and I'm happy to be a part of it. I hope you will keep it going for it will almost certainly render an invaluable service as a sounding board in the tumultous years ahead. Trump is an unstable human being at his core with deep unresolved emotional insecurities. He will be sorely tested again, perhaps more than the last time. The Oval office is NO PLACE for an unstable person and his demons are legion. I fear a real international crisis(think October 1962) and how he'd cope. Or not. Let's keep this thing going for in that moment we might only have this sharing community for consolation.

Trump is not acting out because he has what he wanted, power. He has escaped accountability for his convictions. He has 2 maybe 4 years (depending on how the mid terms go) of unchecked power ahead of him. Who wouldn't be in a good mood in that position. He hasn't changed. He won't change.

Current House count: 199 Democrats, 210 Republicans, 218 for majority. Might as well write that one off too. Super mandate. Can push through whatever he wants, rapidly.

Trump is drug for them, they all sick!

I‘m over the defeat. I‘m waiting for the great and prosperous utopia Trump promises to deliver or will it be invisible like the beautiful wall, the terrific healthcare plan to replace ACA, and the release of his tax returns?

I do believe race/gender factored in.

After a day of sadness.and pessimism yesterday, I've been slightly more optimistic today that we're going to get through this.
