@@Nightingale_timeI think like that too but I think it’s better to try and not think like that. It’s good to have hope and just because it doesn’t work out doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have hoped that it would yknow? Ofc manage expectations and think logically but LOGICALLY THIS SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED so idk
It's because Republicans are obsessed with their candidate, they turned out. People were so luke warm about Kamala that they just didn't care, and this is someone who was luke warm but still voted for her.
Oh you said that so beautifully I am literally having an existential crisis. I am black American. It’s my culture but the America part doesn’t want me. I’ve been studying to be in public health, but are we even gonna have public health anymore? The people said it they don’t want healthcare they don’t want protection. I’m not going to keep fighting to give people something they don’t want so what do I even do? What the fuck is my place here I don’t have one, so where the fuck do I go I don’t have any money.
This one comment. This is what I've been feeling for years. This weird dissonance of caring about a country that doesn't care for you. This comment embodies it.
i wanna be the "the fights not over" positive action guy but its just depressing and baffling that 70+ million people think this way. my bad for expecting logic
Tried to be a “fight’s not over” soldier in 2016 and all my sentator voicemails and marching went exactly no where. I’ll be gathering resources and strengthening my local relationships. Help the people I can look in the eye.

@@MrCaku I mean this in the kindest way possible, were you around in 2016? What direct action that is different from what we were told to do last time (letters, calling, protesting) that you imagine working? I voted, and will continue to, but what fight is worth the energy when we literally have postcards for ammo?
To everyone who's life will be negatively affected by this election : just like Matt Bernstein said on insta, 70 million people voted to protect you. They may not have won, but 70 million people care about you and want to protect your rights. This will suck hard, but you're not alone. You've got 70 million people standing with you in the US alone, and so much more internationally. We're all rooting for you out there.
Also remember he is only 3 years younger then joe, he could start showing signs of dementia in the 4 years, that will cut short his time as president. Herd he wants a 4th term, but his age means he could be quite deteriorated by then and his doctor will have to step in and tell him he is too deteriorated to continue running the country
@@Superbatmanbro My heart goes out to so many marginalized communities that will fare so much worse under Trump. I'm genuinely worried Gaza is dead now because of this.
We have a severe lack of education in more rural states. And the GOP plans on keeping it that way for this exact reason. Not surprised once the dust has settled, but goddamn what an absolute failure the Democratic party suffered this year.
Whole heartedly agree. Everyone I know who is a trump supporter is just downright uneducated. The party that has been cutting funding for education for years won, who would have guessed.
Literally I do not care what his policies are, Trump should NOT have been allowed to run while they're still trying to figure out all his crime shit he did. The fact there are people who voted for that criminal makes me want to throw up.
This is how I feel. I will not be nice to any stranger ever again, genuinely. Trump supporters don't deserve my time, effort, thought or help. They voted against my human rights. They deserve nothing.
Me too. It's at the point where I'm wondering if my body can even take four years of this. I can't even leave the us because I'm disabled. Just know you're not alone.
Same. If healthcare gets even worse- it may be over for me. Im sick of being in pain all the time and not knowing why because insurance is greedy and backwards, the whole system is awful.
If we survive this, then we need to stop the electoral college, lobbyists, gerrymandering, and get rid of life long positions. If dont this cycle is just going to keep repeating. Make public servants, severe the public again. Tried of companies having more rights than people.
the cycle of voting democrats that rely on companies and expect them to change the system that gives more rights to companies ? I hope so, but seeing all the comments and the reaction to Trump's victory, I think americans would rather destroy that nation than give up their loyalty to the democrats, capitalism runs in american genetics at this point.
My dad never votes. He always said that the elections never mattered. This year, he had requested a mail in ballot for the first time on his own. Solely to vote for Harris and purely because he had grown so concerned over my safety as a transman under a Trump presidency. He died before he could ever submit it. It kills me a little to think about all the parents like my dad that DID try to vote to protect their kids. All for it to feel like a moot point
It always has but this time it’s more direct. I’ve seen several Trump 2024 flags, even a house that was fully decked out in Trump crap. There are Canadians who are watching the dystopian hell going on down there and going “yee give me some of that up here”
I saw a statement saying "this must be how Katniss felt when they told her she would be returning to The Hunger Games" and Im not okay after reflecting on that.
kamala said it’s okay to feel sad by the results but that we have to keep fighting and being loving people to ourselves and others 😭 like why can’t we have a clear headed person like her as president, instead we have hatred and evil. im logging off today 😴
It’s cuz America is unfortunately not ready for a female president (especially one that’s not white). I honestly think Kamala not being elected saved her life…I don’t think it would’ve ended well for her if she won :/
Because she didn’t commit herself into serious issues, she lost minority voters such as Muslim and Hispanic. Many don’t understand how bad Trump is and voted him instead because of all the smoke he blows. 😢 the next 4 years will be rough.. USA’s decisions has an impact on the world.
@@letsdoodlesomethinghome3404 I think she did okay for the time she had. And honestly with the latino votes she lost, I can't see much that could be done when we're talking about a group of people who hate themselves and deny their own heritage. :/
@@Jirangaaa our country's electorate proved that they were further right wing than we all thought and your takeaway is that if she had more openly supported gaza - which is both something she did! she has been advocating for a ceasefire! and for more aid to gaza! and also something that the vast majority of the american electorate unfortunately could not give less of a shit about - that she would've won? when clearly having harris as president over a man who's besties with bibi and has an illegal west bank settlement named after him and moved the embassy to jerusalem and said israel had to "finish the job" was always preferable if people ACTUALLY cared about gazans specifically and palestinians in general? okay. sure.
That’s the biggest thing for me. People are saying “it’s just 4 more years with trump” but it’s not. I’m glad they’re hopeful and I am too, so if that’s what keeps them going then I can’t blame them, but it’s not just 4 more years. I don’t know how long it’ll be, but it’s not just gonna be his presidency
What's interesting is that Trump doesn't seem to have to increased his vote total from 2020. It just looks like far fewer people voted for Kamala. On one hand, maybe that means Trump has hit his ceiling for actual support but it also means that there are a lot of people who didn't care enough to show up, which is another problem.
Oh yeah, he hit his ceiling the first election. His total numbers have been damn near identical every time. But yes, there were truly SOOOO many fewer voters on the left this year. It sucks.
@@iitstre_4550i know way too many people that are like “both sides are bad so Im not voting” and I’m like THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WE GOT TRUMP BACK IN 2016 AND THEN EVERYONE VOTED AND THATS THE REASON WE DIDNT GET HIM IN 2020
He and his cronies also had four more years to bend and break every rule they could for voters. Biden won and 37 states passed voter suppression laws. This was always going to be the result. And they are going to break everything they touch to make sure we can never recover.
I'm in high school, and you know it's bad when I walked through school today and everybody, including teachers, were sobbing. It looked like a wave of depression. I'm genuinely sick.
i’m in texas. i don’t have the words. the day of the results was celebrated by the large majority of my school all day, even though my city was blue. it felt like my world was ending and i was the only one upset about it. it’s so isolating and anyone who lives in a red state has my condolences.
Your party shouldn't have run a person they called a joke for years, and who couldn't get a single delegate, it's time you take some responsibility. Don't want people like Trump to win? Stop running the /literal worst candidates you can/, you people learned nothing from 2016.

My mom threatened to raise my rent if I didn't vote for Trump. I still voted for Harris, but he forced me to lie to my own mother. Now she's going around telling everyone how proud she is of me. I've never been more disappointed in her, and I wish I had just told her the truth. Cost of rent be damned.
As a mom, this makes my stomach hurt. People who view their children as their little minions meant to mimic themselves are the worst egocentric people. As a mom, my children owe me nothing; it was my choice to bring them into the world. I'm so sorry that you had to endure that and possibly worse. But kudos to you for being a cycle breaker, even if it's in the shadows.
1,462 days, assuming we'll still be able to vote in 2028. Trying to figure out some kind of project to put my head down on and focus on something that'll make some kind of difference. Right now it just feels like such a sickening uphill battle.
At this point I won’t even count the days because I’ve officially lost faith that our electorate will ever make sensible decisions going forward. If trump decides to not go for a third term, I fully expect someone as bad or worse will take his place on the GOP ticket and the country will vote that person in. Maybe it’ll be one of trump’s children on the 2028 ballot? Who knows.

I'm queer. There are people who know me at work. People who love me. One of my coworkers is an immigrant from Canada. There are people who know her at work. People who love her. One of my coworkers has an interracial family. There are people who know her at work. People who love her. And of the 30-40 people who work with me, it was just me and the immigrant to vote for Harris. Because the promise of cheaper gas is worth sacrificing your neighbors and loved ones.
they really don't see it that way. they just see it as a future they can see themselves in. they don't consider what you'd feel cause they have no empathy and don't think the great orange will live up to his worse rhetoric
I didn’t want to come out to one of my coworkers, an older lady with a daughter my age, because she was so open about her religious views-like listening to gospel at work, open about it-but when another lesbian outed me, she was upset that I hadn’t been comfortable telling her. She’s white with three black children. She voted for Trump. Even went in weeks early to do it. I cried when I found out. It’s okay to be upset. You didn’t do anything wrong.
Gas and grocery prices are more important than basic human rights, apparently. I won't extend an olive branch when they realize inflation is going to get worse. I won't forgive or forget any of this.

I'm the same way. I will NEVER give emotional support (or any other kind of support) to ANYONE who I know voted for him. Oh, you're sad? Too bad. Cry about it to the other people who voted for this like you did
It’s disheartening how me voting blue all the way down the ballot hardy did anything in the grand scheme of things. Trump is a virus that refuses to go the fuck away, and so are his magats. It’s complete poison.
I think about that every time I see a pregnant woman or somebody with a very young child. I think "You made a mistake bringing them into a world like this".

As someone reliant on SSD to survive it felt like a gut punch since he's projected to cause a reduction of 33% to what I live on in the next 7 years. I had faith we moved forward towards a better future as a society constantly with only minor back steps but this is different. This election will shape the supreme court for decades, our laws for decades, our judges for decades, and our population and the prospects for the elderly if he actually deports 20 million people who pay taxes and cannot benefit from the programs but also help support businesses.

This man has been rewarded for a history of policies and business ventures and personal acts that have only ever hurt others. That have already and will again hurt his own voter base. All out of spite for the people pointing that out. I've already seen a return to the sort of mask-off racism I remember from the 2017-2020 era of the internet. Man emboldens terrible people's terrible views.
I just don’t understand how we can vote a convicted felon AND r@p!st into office. As a young woman, It feels like a massive slap to the face and stab to the heart. How can we reward people like this? I guess I expect too much of people to see beyond this man’s terrible views.
GENUINELY, as soon as the election ended I saw a ton of people just openly and proudly being ableist, racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ect. It's truly disgusting, he brings out the worst in people.
Same. I'm terrified for the next four years. People keep telling me 'oh he's all bark and no bite don't worry, you always assume the worst'.

Im in the uk. Im truly terrified for the whole world after this. Kamala and tim were clear, passionate, had a strong plan, wanted to maintain the rights of all. Trump wants to spread hate, bigotry, xenophobia, lies and cruelty. And more than half of the usa want that too. Its so awful. I hope all good people can stand strong and stop the worst excesses of these bigots.

I stood in line with my bf and our newest baby for about 45 minutes vecore we voted. I live in a small town in Florida. The pure hatred I overheard in that line will stay with me for a while. The women directly in front of me was so loud, first of all, and so comfortable shouting her opinions. She said "the line to vote for Kamala was on I75, where theres lots and lots of traffic." And got laughs and support for her statement. These people, my neighbors, my community, would rather people who dont think like them get run over in traffic than vote for someone other than trump. The people in that line spouted off the same lies and headlines from a certain singular cable "news" channel. I even turned to my bf and said "I feel like I'm in a literal echo chamber" I tried to tune it out, its not like I was eavesdropping. If my bf hadnt been there giggling with me about how ridiculous the things we heard were, i would have walked away and not voted at all.

I waited about 1 hour and 15 minutes to vote. The people I waited in line with were friendly. But I hate that our voting stations are not private. The machines are sat on a folding table right next to each other. You sit down to vote and the long line of people waiting to vote is standing behind you watching. The screen is higher than your chair so everyone can see how you’re voting. It didn’t affect how I voted, but it made me uncomfortable and I can definitely see how it would affect how someone else would vote.

The most frustrating part of this is that my state, Virginia, went blue, meaning that I did my job successfully and I did everything I could do. I'm liberal, and so many conservatives I know voted for Harris. What the fuck happened in the other states?
I’m so sorry American friends. I wouldn’t want to be represented by that awful, bullying, bigoted criminal either on the world stage nor have him control the way I live on my home turf. I hope you all come out of it the other side in 4 years. Love from the UK ❤
I absolutely despise how this makes us look to the rest of the world. I hate the american stereotype and I don’t belong here at all but there’s no way out for me right now. I just happened to be born here.. I do not claim to be american. I just want the rest of the world to know we’re not all dumb and selfish and bigoted but unfortunately a lot of people are..
I have friends and family here and a community that loves me in NC. I'd hate to leave, but that's just what my family might have to do if things do and inevitably get worse here. I've been sick this entire morning. And for the people telling people like us to cry harder, I just wonder: Does that sound like unity to you?
Divided we fall but together we stand. This country was made to create separation, and division, but at the end of the day we’re all human and that should be enough to want to make things equal.
The left decided it’s better for every queer person in America to die, than for “Holocaust Harris” to win the election. They betrayed every minority group they pretended to care about.
I'm not American and I am worried since America has so much influence. It hurts my head whenever I think about the possible bad consequences. But also it's just bad to have a highly populated country fall into fascism. Minorities will suffer, in fact, not just minorities. And the worst thing is that Tr**p won the popular vote, so you can't even blame the electoral college. And while I think Kamala had some problems that influenced the poor result, I also think a lot of people just refused to vote for a woman of colour.
That's exactly it. A big issue is that so many Americans hold biases against women of color, and cannot bring themselves to support them as their leader. As a woman of color, it's expected but still really disappointing.
Initially I thought don't be silly, they wouldn't not vote for Kamala just because she's a black lady. And then I realised that in a place where they'll elect Chump not just once but twice, it's perfectly possible that such small minded people exist. I'm sorry!
Biden shouldn't have tried for another term and they should've held an actual primary. I know a lot of people who didn't vote because they despised them both.
Bingo. This is the exact reason she lost-the fact that Trump’s numbers stayed the same and he somehow managed to win the popular vote too proves it. The economy is bad right now, and ironically a lot of that is cause of Trump, but people aren’t going to look at it that way. They’re going to look at the people in charge NOW, because that’s who they perceive as having abandoned them and as being the reason they struggle to eat. People are justifiably angry about Palestine and how the Biden administration has continuously sucked up to Israel. It doesn’t matter that Trump is also a Zionist; the people who are angered by that feel betrayed and are unlikely to think clearly. So they didn’t vote. The democrats were never going to win, because they refused to fully abandon their extremely unpopular current administration. Frankly I think they like doing this shit because it gives them an excuse to go further right, which is exactly what they’ll do come 2026 midterms.
Unfortunetly these people who are voting for trump are our neighbors , friends and family. I had to block people on my facebook who were part of my life showing support and praise today for their president. My heart is hurt.
and then it’s a different kind of despair when your state is declared blue and you feel good knowing you contributed to that, only for it to still not be enough in the end. that’s where i am rn. (my state is va)
The *same* thing happened in 2016! The experts underestimated Trump yet again. Even when he actually lost in 2020, experts said that they underestimated how close the race would be. These next four years are going to be rough! 😒
And I'm sure lots of people didn't go to vote for Kamala because "Oh CNN/abc already told us that she's leading the polls, so why should I get my lazy ass up and go out there? "

I was just checking in on you. I can’t imagine this election being one of your first. I have been beaten down and jaded. My heart goes out to the young people. I pray we rally 🙏 the educated and privileged among us have to help educate others. Volunteer, demonstrate, anything we can❤
I literally had no hope in the future until believing in this election. Now I have nothing again. I guess I up my anxiety meds and block out reality for a really long time.
Someone had the audacity to tell me “this is how we felt when dems won 2020” and my god I have never felt such righteous RAGE in my life. Helps knowing this community gets it.
The conservatice wave was started by Trump. He enabled thousands of fascist to speak their minds in Europe, no longer afraid of backlash. And they were actively copying his points and manipulation techniques.
My condolences from Finland. I myself as vast majority of this country were hoping and praying that sanity would win. She had IT to be the first POC female president and she is still an inspiration to us all. I cannot even watch the news 'cos it's so depressing.
What really gets me tho is people making the same comments as this comment section upset about the results, but then when questioned they say they didn’t even vote bc “both sides are bad.” Like yeah I don’t _love_ Kamala, but I would NEVER compare her to trump like that. She’s bad, but she’s bad in the way that EVERY politician is bad. Trump’s bad in that way and every other way.
not even american and im still so shocked that the election turned out this way?? WHO is voting for trump?? kamala is literally better in almost every aspect?? I thought most celebrities with huge fanbases endorse kamala (taylor swift, chappell roan, billie eilish etc.) which made me believe that theres no way she wont win but the results says otherwise ☹️
People didn't vote, that's how this happened. 40% of people didn't fucking vote, bc the propaganda convinced them it was doomed and they shouldn't try and they listened
Thankyou. This is my honest reaction too. That casual mental illness that is running rampant in our country has shown its face and this was the result. We now are going to fight harder than ever... and we are tired.
I hate that people keep blaming ignorance and bigotry on mental illness. Depression is mental illness, voting for a racist rapist as a president is just ignorant.
(warning, a small rant) it somehow feels worse when you were someone who wasn’t old enough to vote when trump was first elected (i was 12 in 2016, 20 now) back then, we were too young. all we could do was watch and hope and when it didn’t work out, that was that. we couldn’t do anything about it because we were children who had to go to school that day. in my experience, it was gloomy and the usual noise wasn’t there because we were all scared for our lives. fast forward 8 years, we’re in the same situation. i was excited and nervous partially because it was my first time voting for president, and partially because it was so similar to 8 years ago, only i could actually do something about it this time. i voted - and hoped and hoped and HOPED that maybe it would change, only to wake up this morning, check my phone, and feel my heart *drop.* it’s weird knowing that you and many other people your age did all they could, yet it wasn’t enough. and it’s weird seeing so many people outside the us call all of us stupid and uneducated and every other name in the book as they go “idiots, this affects us too, you all voted wrong!!”, and i wanna be mad but im an adult who realizes that to them, it may be easier to blame america as a collective than to admit that people can try their absolute hardest with something, only for it to just not be enough.
Understandable, I hope you have a better day. I’m telling myself this too. I’m living with trumpers and my mom yelled out “viva trump” as I was leaving. I’m moving out.

I’m Canadian, when I looked up the polls on my morning walk to the subway I stopped dead in my tracks. I closed my eyes and breathed out an, “Oh, I’m so sorry…” as if I were trying to comfort a grieving friend. America, don’t give up. Please don’t give up. There are GOOD PEOPLE in America. Not to get corny, but like Tolkein says, “There’s good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.” You CAN’T stop fighting. You don’t need to march in the streets to fight back. Fight back through kindness, fight back through education, fight back through compassion for your fellow man. Refuse to let the world harden you, because America, you are a strong country. You endured a trump presidency during COVID. You will be okay. You will be okay.
We’ve never been okay. Minorities have always known this. Everyone else gets to see the ugly truth staring them down in the face. Can’t look away anymore.
I fell asleep last night so nervous and now I'm afraid for my wellbeing as an lgbt woman and I'm absolutely terrified what's going to happen to my rights. I'm just hoping orange man doesn't go power tripping and put my life at risk...although it already seems to be happening
The thing that scares me is that even if he doesn't push for any formal policies, the damage is already done because he has created a cult-like following of people who are binded together by how much they fucking hate other people. He doesn't even need any formal anti-LGBTQ policies at this point, because his followers will do the work for him.

For those going through mental breakdown coz of the result Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.

@@Superbatmanbro My heart goes out to so many marginalized communities that will fare so much worse under Trump. I'm genuinely worried Gaza is dead now because of this.
We have a severe lack of education in more rural states. And the GOP plans on keeping it that way for this exact reason. Not surprised once the dust has settled, but goddamn what an absolute failure the Democratic party suffered this year.
That's why the electoral college still exists. So the "poorly educated" can be duped into voting against their own best interests.
Whole heartedly agree. Everyone I know who is a trump supporter is just downright uneducated. The party that has been cutting funding for education for years won, who would have guessed.
If we can't fix the education problem, we're finished. Sadly it seems as if the problem is already insurmountable
Don't blame this on rural states or education.
For a full generation, people have not chosen education. Many educated people chose this.
Once they continue to defund education people will be forced to learn online. Following that then discussions like this may become illegal as well.
Literally I do not care what his policies are, Trump should NOT have been allowed to run while they're still trying to figure out all his crime shit he did. The fact there are people who voted for that criminal makes me want to throw up.

Me too. It's at the point where I'm wondering if my body can even take four years of this. I can't even leave the us because I'm disabled. Just know you're not alone.
Same. If healthcare gets even worse- it may be over for me. Im sick of being in pain all the time and not knowing why because insurance is greedy and backwards, the whole system is awful.
I’m healthy but I have multiple diabetics in my family. We already struggle to get ahold of insulin as is…
If we survive this, then we need to stop the electoral college, lobbyists, gerrymandering, and get rid of life long positions. If dont this cycle is just going to keep repeating. Make public servants, severe the public again. Tried of companies having more rights than people.
the cycle of voting democrats that rely on companies and expect them to change the system that gives more rights to companies ? I hope so, but seeing all the comments and the reaction to Trump's victory, I think americans would rather destroy that nation than give up their loyalty to the democrats, capitalism runs in american genetics at this point.

My dad never votes. He always said that the elections never mattered. This year, he had requested a mail in ballot for the first time on his own. Solely to vote for Harris and purely because he had grown so concerned over my safety as a transman under a Trump presidency. He died before he could ever submit it. It kills me a little to think about all the parents like my dad that DID try to vote to protect their kids. All for it to feel like a moot point

What's interesting is that Trump doesn't seem to have to increased his vote total from 2020. It just looks like far fewer people voted for Kamala. On one hand, maybe that means Trump has hit his ceiling for actual support but it also means that there are a lot of people who didn't care enough to show up, which is another problem.
Oh yeah, he hit his ceiling the first election. His total numbers have been damn near identical every time. But yes, there were truly SOOOO many fewer voters on the left this year. It sucks.

He got young conservative incel men to vote for him. That made the difference.
He and his cronies also had four more years to bend and break every rule they could for voters. Biden won and 37 states passed voter suppression laws. This was always going to be the result. And they are going to break everything they touch to make sure we can never recover.

At this point I won’t even count the days because I’ve officially lost faith that our electorate will ever make sensible decisions going forward.

I'm queer. There are people who know me at work. People who love me. One of my coworkers is an immigrant from Canada. There are people who know her at work. People who love her. One of my coworkers has an interracial family. There are people who know her at work. People who love her. And of the 30-40 people who work with me, it was just me and the immigrant to vote for Harris. Because the promise of cheaper gas is worth sacrificing your neighbors and loved ones.
Well newsflash people are kinda of selfish,also just don't promote your dumb shit and nobody would care.

they really don't see it that way. they just see it as a future they can see themselves in. they don't consider what you'd feel cause they have no empathy and don't think the great orange will live up to his worse rhetoric
I didn’t want to come out to one of my coworkers, an older lady with a daughter my age, because she was so open about her religious views-like listening to gospel at work, open about it-but when another lesbian outed me, she was upset that I hadn’t been comfortable telling her. She’s white with three black children. She voted for Trump. Even went in weeks early to do it. I cried when I found out. It’s okay to be upset. You didn’t do anything wrong.

How am I supposed to have children and willingly bring them into this world?
I absolutely refuse to. The most selfless and loving choice i could make for my potential children is to spare them from this
I considered having children. Now I REFUSE to have ANY just to stick it to em >:C
I think about that every time I see a pregnant woman or somebody with a very young child. I think "You made a mistake bringing them into a world like this".
I'm not. This killed whatever hope I had to have kids
And what’s gross is the other side having tons of kids and raising them to hate.
I feel that. I've been spiraling since I woke up and saw the finalized results. I wouldn't say I'm surprised because I'm very pessimistic when it comes to people doing the right thing but I was cautiously hopeful that things would turn out the way it should've and we see that didn't happen.

@@imbadatdisrealize: trump got *more* votes when he lost in 2020 than when he won this year. it’s not that more people support him, it’s that 20 million something people who voted for biden in 2020 just… didn’t vote this year. it’s not increased support for trump, just apathy from everyone else. which isn’t that much better, but worth acknowledging.
As someone reliant on SSD to survive it felt like a gut punch since he's projected to cause a reduction of 33% to what I live on in the next 7 years. I had faith we moved forward towards a better future as a society constantly with only minor back steps but this is different. This election will shape the supreme court for decades, our laws for decades, our judges for decades, and our population and the prospects for the elderly if he actually deports 20 million people who pay taxes and cannot benefit from the programs but also help support businesses.

As a montrealer, we should be worry too. Parts of Canada’s economic stagnation is because trade rules under Trump.
Unfortunately, and based on what came from the European elections, Canada will follow. The whole world is turning the same way and only a third World War will follow. We gotta stay strong...no matter what comes.

Im a trans woman with severe mental health issues from parental abuse and i fear things are gonna get worse for me. I read project 2025, and my mom has said she actively chose her party over me. I dont feel safe, i have nowhere to go, and i hate my existence being politicized and weaponized. I just want to be loved yet here i am just waiting for my existence to be outlawed and my mom to sell me out
As a fellow member of the lgbtq+ community, I feel you. I wish we could exist without our existence being questioned and vilified.
I’m intersex and Puerto rican. I guess I’ll just be hauling myself off to my local landfill because that’s apparently where I belong according to our new soon-to-be dictator.
I'm so so sorry for your situation. I'm not American, but here it's not the best either and I'm scared each day that my girlfriend (who is also trans) will stop having access to healthcare in the near years. It's horrifying. We already can't get married legally here, she couldn't even go to a hospital with me which broke my heart so badly. Only thing I can suggest is finding a community and a new family and I really hope you can find it and be as happy and healthy as you can, we need to stay together in those hard times.
Im basically in this exact same situation. I wish i had more to say. May we be lucky and try to fight through
Project 2025 will never happen. Not only would that affect trans people, but literally every minority group, it would be dictatorship. People would overthrow the government.
This man has been rewarded for a history of policies and business ventures and personal acts that have only ever hurt others. That have already and will again hurt his own voter base. All out of spite for the people pointing that out.
I've already seen a return to the sort of mask-off racism I remember from the 2017-2020 era of the internet. Man emboldens terrible people's terrible views.
I just don’t understand how we can vote a convicted felon AND r@p!st into office. As a young woman, It feels like a massive slap to the face and stab to the heart. How can we reward people like this?
I guess I expect too much of people to see beyond this man’s terrible views.
GENUINELY, as soon as the election ended I saw a ton of people just openly and proudly being ableist, racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ect. It's truly disgusting, he brings out the worst in people.
Same. I'm terrified for the next four years. People keep telling me 'oh he's all bark and no bite don't worry, you always assume the worst'. As if the last time we all 'assumed nothing would happen' then he went and overturned Roe V. Wade. I'm heartbroken that people voted for such a monster to be in office AGAIN. I feel like i'm living in the Twilight Zone or something.

Im in the uk. Im truly terrified for the whole world after this. Kamala and tim were clear, passionate, had a strong plan, wanted to maintain the rights of all. Trump wants to spread hate, bigotry, xenophobia, lies and cruelty. And more than half of the usa want that too. Its so awful. I hope all good people can stand strong and stop the worst excesses of these bigots.
Exactly my thoughts, he doesn't even believe in climate change and he's in charge of one of the most powerful countries. How.

We're living in crazy times, which causes crazy people, who believe in crazier leaders.
I stood in line with my bf and our newest baby for about 45 minutes vecore we voted. I live in a small town in Florida. The pure hatred I overheard in that line will stay with me for a while. The women directly in front of me was so loud, first of all, and so comfortable shouting her opinions. She said "the line to vote for Kamala was on I75, where theres lots and lots of traffic." And got laughs and support for her statement. These people, my neighbors, my community, would rather people who dont think like them get run over in traffic than vote for someone other than trump. The people in that line spouted off the same lies and headlines from a certain singular cable "news" channel. I even turned to my bf and said "I feel like I'm in a literal echo chamber"
I tried to tune it out, its not like I was eavesdropping. If my bf hadnt been there giggling with me about how ridiculous the things we heard were, i would have walked away and not voted at all.
And they’ll claim the other side is brainwashed and insane
@@kbundyy22 Texas here, same thing happened to me. I started a Reddit thread and other people had the same experience. I wonder if it was organized effort . supporters were in line speaking very loudly voicing their political opinions
I waited about 1 hour and 15 minutes to vote. The people I waited in line with were friendly. But I hate that our voting stations are not private. The machines are sat on a folding table right next to each other. You sit down to vote and the long line of people waiting to vote is standing behind you watching. The screen is higher than your chair so everyone can see how you’re voting. It didn’t affect how I voted, but it made me uncomfortable and I can definitely see how it would affect how someone else would vote.
@@firstnamelastname7708that is so crazy to hear, in the country I’m from that would be illegal
Im a kid in florida, and really scared. im 16 and cant vote and was gonna gk with my family when they did (cause i like the library) but im honestly glad i didnt go… everywhere i look theres trump signs and flags. one of my teachers is an avid trump supporter and talks about it during class time, i genuinely dont feel safe in the class because it wouldnt be hard for him to realize jm transgender and according to law he could tell my parents. i dont know what to do, im so scared.
The most frustrating part of this is that my state, Virginia, went blue, meaning that I did my job successfully and I did everything I could do. I'm liberal, and so many conservatives I know voted for Harris. What the fuck happened in the other states?
I’m so sorry American friends. I wouldn’t want to be represented by that awful, bullying, bigoted criminal either on the world stage nor have him control the way I live on my home turf. I hope you all come out of it the other side in 4 years. Love from the UK ❤

Divided we fall but together we stand. This country was made to create separation, and division, but at the end of the day we’re all human and that should be enough to want to make things equal.
couldn't have said it better honestly.
The left decided it’s better for every queer person in America to die, than for “Holocaust Harris” to win the election. They betrayed every minority group they pretended to care about.
I'm not American and I am worried since America has so much influence. It hurts my head whenever I think about the possible bad consequences. But also it's just bad to have a highly populated country fall into fascism. Minorities will suffer, in fact, not just minorities. And the worst thing is that Tr**p won the popular vote, so you can't even blame the electoral college. And while I think Kamala had some problems that influenced the poor result, I also think a lot of people just refused to vote for a woman of colour.
I hate the how much power the US has I wish our fellow western aligned countries would keep us in check!!!
Yeah given trump had a roughly similar amount of votes as last time, people just didn't lock in for kamala like they did for biden which cooked her
That's exactly it. A big issue is that so many Americans hold biases against women of color, and cannot bring themselves to support them as their leader. As a woman of color, it's expected but still really disappointing.
Initially I thought don't be silly, they wouldn't not vote for Kamala just because she's a black lady. And then I realised that in a place where they'll elect Chump not just once but twice, it's perfectly possible that such small minded people exist. I'm sorry!
Biden shouldn't have tried for another term and they should've held an actual primary. I know a lot of people who didn't vote because they despised them both.
Bingo. This is the exact reason she lost-the fact that Trump’s numbers stayed the same and he somehow managed to win the popular vote too proves it.
The economy is bad right now, and ironically a lot of that is cause of Trump, but people aren’t going to look at it that way. They’re going to look at the people in charge NOW, because that’s who they perceive as having abandoned them and as being the reason they struggle to eat. People are justifiably angry about Palestine and how the Biden administration has continuously sucked up to Israel. It doesn’t matter that Trump is also a Zionist; the people who are angered by that feel betrayed and are unlikely to think clearly. So they didn’t vote.
The democrats were never going to win, because they refused to fully abandon their extremely unpopular current administration. Frankly I think they like doing this shit because it gives them an excuse to go further right, which is exactly what they’ll do come 2026 midterms.
I don't even live in the US and I'm shocked seeing the results of the election. Like who are these people consciously voting for Trump?
It had to be cheating. He's never won the popular vote before and people have been more and more vocal against him..
Something isn’t right

Anyone else notice the rise in Gen z conservatives and just blatant racism/sexism/bigotry in general? It’s so depressing to see this happen.
(warning, a small rant)
it somehow feels worse when you were someone who wasn’t old enough to vote when trump was first elected (i was 12 in 2016, 20 now)
back then, we were too young. all we could do was watch and hope and when it didn’t work out, that was that. we couldn’t do anything about it because we were children who had to go to school that day. in my experience, it was gloomy and the usual noise wasn’t there because we were all scared for our lives.
fast forward 8 years, we’re in the same situation. i was excited and nervous partially because it was my first time voting for president, and partially because it was so similar to 8 years ago, only i could actually do something about it this time.
i voted - and hoped and hoped and HOPED that maybe it would change, only to wake up this morning, check my phone, and feel my heart *drop.* it’s weird knowing that you and many other people your age did all they could, yet it wasn’t enough.
and it’s weird seeing so many people outside the us call all of us stupid and uneducated and every other name in the book as they go “idiots, this affects us too, you all voted wrong!!”, and i wanna be mad but im an adult who realizes that to them, it may be easier to blame america as a collective than to admit that people can try their absolute hardest with something, only for it to just not be enough.
❤
Understandable, I hope you have a better day. I’m telling myself this too.
I’m living with trumpers and my mom yelled out “viva trump” as I was leaving. I’m moving out.
Don't blame you for wanting to move
Please be safe 💙
Hope you find a decent place to stay, away from her.
Take me with you, same situation here
It’s like being forced into your friends abusive relationship. I feel you.
As a future teacher istg if he puts ELON MUSK in charge of cutting funding for the department of education I'm learning a new language and looking into other careers 💀
Yeah it'd be a shame if he put the physicist, engineer, inventor, rocket scientist, neuroscientist in charge of education.
@@michaelmorrow607 you're actually the dumbest person alive, sorry. He's a business owner., not a scientist. He HIRED engineers, inventors, rocket scientists, neuroscientists, etc.... He's cracked out on ketamine according to everyone close to him, his family has essentially disowned him for being repugnant, he's tanked the stocks of Twitter faster than anyone predicted, Tesla is the laughing stock of the greater robotics world because he keeps missing his own self-imposed release deadlines for robots, and the only reason SpaceX is anything at all is because he has talented EMPLOYEES, not because he himself is talented. He's deeply uncharismatic, still thinks "doge" is funny, and champions AI that doesn't even work as a solution to our modern problems.
As someone currently studying to be a teacher I find it insulting that you think Elon Musk (who has absolutely zero education credentials) is qualified to tell me what funding I would need to do my job.
@@michaelmorrow607 me when i make things up
@@michaelmorrow607 he is NONE of those things LMAOOO do you think he is building the rockets and cars himself?? He is a business man, a really bad and lucky one. But hey, I wouldn't worry about him running the department of education, considering, you know, that they want to straight up eliminate the department.
the blatant level of ignorance and miseducation of the American voters is truly terrifying
I'm not american but I cannot fathom how immense the change will be for every surrounding country. I'm terrified to see how this will empower other countries to lean into and promote ideals and beliefs that we thought were a thing of the past.
It's crazy to watch us regress as a society in real time.
I didn’t know you could somehow be surprised and unsurprised at the same time until this election.
Sending love from the UK. I woke up this morning in genuine shock that Trump had won. I hope everyone stays as safe as possible for these coming years. ❤️
What’s insane to me is how many people were acting like it was just a normal day. How? Seriously how???
What the fuck else do i do? Go home, cry in my room and go to sleep. I've done that too long in my life. I'd rather be doing something valuable.
@ You talk about it with people. Share your thoughts and feelings instead of compartmentalizing it. That’s how you bring on change, if more people actually use their voices then we probably wouldn’t have been in this situation. (Not just to you but anyone else that chances to see this.)
What would you have us do? I’m not the type to let an election result ruin my day
'I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
On replay
I want to live on this planet. This planet is beautiful. I hate that I'm forced to state it with people who do treat this beautiful place with the respect and care it deserves 💔
@@katerrinah5442 I understand
I’m Canadian, when I looked up the polls on my morning walk to the subway I stopped dead in my tracks. I closed my eyes and breathed out an, “Oh, I’m so sorry…” as if I were trying to comfort a grieving friend.
America, don’t give up. Please don’t give up. There are GOOD PEOPLE in America. Not to get corny, but like Tolkein says, “There’s good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for.” You CAN’T stop fighting. You don’t need to march in the streets to fight back. Fight back through kindness, fight back through education, fight back through compassion for your fellow man. Refuse to let the world harden you, because America, you are a strong country. You endured a trump presidency during COVID. You will be okay. You will be okay.
Thank you, friend.
I’ve been despairing about this all day and your comment brought me to tears. Thank you
Thank you friend.
We’ve never been okay. Minorities have always known this. Everyone else gets to see the ugly truth staring them down in the face. Can’t look away anymore.
Didn't realize I needed to read this but the last bit made me cry suddenly.
I fell asleep last night so nervous and now I'm afraid for my wellbeing as an lgbt woman and I'm absolutely terrified what's going to happen to my rights. I'm just hoping orange man doesn't go power tripping and put my life at risk...although it already seems to be happening
The thing that scares me is that even if he doesn't push for any formal policies, the damage is already done because he has created a cult-like following of people who are binded together by how much they fucking hate other people. He doesn't even need any formal anti-LGBTQ policies at this point, because his followers will do the work for him.
@@chronic_loner7 I haven’t slept since they started counting votes 🥲 at first it was excitement keeping me up. Then it was dread. And then he won. And now I just feel sick and like I can’t breathe
acting like hes gonna kill yall or something, u dont realise how lucky u are in the west, imagine how its going over in the middle east for lgbt people
@@idfkwtrexactly. We don't want it to become that way and that's why we're so worried.....
@@chronic_loner7 understandable, if ur worried about abortion rights just remember trump can't do a nationwide abortion ban, it would be rlly hard to do. remember to vote for abortion rights in ur state
For those going through mental breakdown coz of the result Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Steve_porss1 is the man
On Instagram?
Yes
I wish they were readily available in my place.
Microdosing was my next plan of care for my husband. He is 59 & has so many mental health issues plus probable CTE & a TBI that left him in a coma 8 days. It's too late now I had to get a TPO as he's 6'6 300+ pound homicidal maniac.
He's constantly talking about killing someone.
He's violent. Anyone reading this
Familiar w/ BPD know if it is common for an obsession with violence.
me too d’angelo me too
Real. I’m so scared. I’m not white, not a man, and not straight. A lot of my friends are trans and I absolutely know lgbtq suicide rates are going to skyrocket so I’m just hoping it’s not them. Or me.
I’m white but same to the rest. And I live in FLORIDA
I'm a cishet black dude with many gay friends, along with 2 Mexican friends. My entire circle is just cooked right off the bat, and when he's done, I'm next 💀
Please stay stong and your friends too❤️
Please stay safe for us. So many people love you and value your lives. Queer people need to stay stronger than ever right now 💖
leave the red states, keep your votes there but it's the only way. many states are now actively hostile to trans people, people have to leave, it's so depressing.
This was legitimately the final push for me to start working on moving to Scotland, my father’s home, and a place I’ve thought of moving to for years. I started on it last night and have alot of answers for stuff I need and the paperwork I’ll need to do for a visa for work.
I hope this journey goes smoothly for you best of luck and much love ❤
@ the benefit I have is my father being from Glasgow. The paperwork has seemed relatively straightforward. Biggest hurdle it seems I have currently is I want to keep doing my current job meaning I need my CDL to be turned into a DVG.
Same for my family ❤️ hope we’ll both be able to get there
@@sari9645 see you in Glasgow?
Anyone taking spouse applications? I can see matchmaking services getting a boost from this result, people trying to leave any way they can.
