Deporting 5-10 % of your population will absolutely wreck your economy to the point that it might never recover. Good luck with that

Lol, good luck.

As some other, older, group might explain to you, deportations are hard and frigging expensive. You’d need beyond massive deportation centers and soon enough you’ll need camps where you, I dunno, can concentrate people closer together, shall we say…

Even so, you need to transport these people somewhere, costing thousands of dollars per person. Twenty million people it was? That’s 20-40 billion dollars. The camps themselves will go into the dozens of billions to build and maintain, adding all those prison camp guards, and removing roughly 5-10% of your workforce alone will wreck your economy.

If Trump deports as many people as he promised he would, it will wreck the US beyond recovery.

That leads me neatly into the next point: resistance. If you think you can deport 20 million people without anyone lifting a finger then you should read up on history. Also, now we have social media. It will be minutes until the internet overflows with horrible videos of innocent people getting brutalized or killed. That will totally not end up with mass protests throughout the country.

As soon as any of this starts it will become a shitshow like nobody has seen before, to use one of Trump’s favorite phrases.

What more likely will happen in that a few tens of thousands people will be deported and that’s it. Of course those deported likely won’t be illegals, but who cares, they got Spanish sounding names, that’s all they need. Republicans will start seeing the real cost of quickly abandon this stupidity and just act like mission accomplished!

Fuck it’s hard to not be cynical, but if Trump / right wing Jesus lovers do what they want, they’ll run the country off a cliff it will never be able to recover from. Not that I care at this point, let it burn. You will get what you voted for

That is an extreme over simplification of a very complicated subject, it’s never that simple.

Having said that: yeah. It was stupid to stop using nuclear energy

Of course je did. How else is he going to appoint criminals and people with conflicts of interest ?

Well call this process “efficient” and say that Musk came up with it in his big brain

Actually…

I think that of democracy will ever return to the US, current news outlets in the US should all go on the cutting block

Fuck the 24 hour news cycle where “journalists” all hunt around like creeps to get that latest story because we gotta broadcast something in those 24 hours… Let’s broadcast any and all crime, making people feel unsafe. That’ll get us more clicks!

News should be paid by an independent, neutral government organization that will finance actual journalism. The results from said journalism will be available on a number of sites, and maybe a Humber of TV channels at limited hours, like ut used to be in the past. News organizations should not and can not be owned by individuals, it WILL be abused. Laws must be enacted to require news to be truthful and anything even remotely pretending to be news should be limited by those laws. Mistakes can be made and when that happens, retractionsust be broadcasted or made available in websites with the same intensity as the mistake that was broadcasted

The US needs news sources that they can trust in because say what you want about magas, they’re right in that the main stream media in the US is utter shit and cannot be trusted. It’s just that they are wrong about what sources are bad. They’re all bad, but their sources, fox news, oan, etc, are the worst by factors…

Let’s get back to the good old days from the 1700 where we would all die of dysentery!

Can we please make a rule in that stupid US constitution that says that claims from politicians have to be supported by actual peer reviewed scientific evidence before they can utter said claim?

It would make the difference of light and day already

Had Kamela won, Musk would have been bankrupt within years, likely in jail too (his own words)

Instead of that, loads of people decided to listen to a fraidster thief rapist, and not vote for Harris.

Now we’re here and I’m so so tired.

And there we have the only reason why the US is as fucked up as it is.

If the US would have an actual democracy, Republicans would never ever ein anything anymore

So if I call you a moron for not believing that the Easter Bunny is a real deity, you shouldn’t criticize me?

Religious people literally believe in things that mostly are no longer believed in after someone reaches about 10 years of age. All this thing’s, Santa Claus, slender man, you name it, it’s all dropped as fantasy yet religion keeps being reinforced causing actual sane adults to believe that there is a magical sky being.

As this article goes to show, it’s a great tool to control the populace, it has little real world value.

The thing though is that you NEED a centrist government. Just as a pure right wing government ignores the wishes of many, a pure leftwing government will so too.

I’m not even saying it should be 50/50, you just need actual honest representation.

That ain’t ever going to happen though with the current first past the post and winner takes all system. You need a representative democracy

Well would it matter if I could already tell you right now if it’s right or not? Just saying, based on results so far, it’s 99.9999% surely not right. Sorry.

And they got their propaganda machines to thank for it.

Namely fox news, Aon, shit like joe Rogan,etc…

I guess that is the biggest crime the Republican party committed, it polarized society for decades now, taking us to today where families are falling apart over something as stupid as politics

Next stop: a possible civil war where not only neighbor kill neighbors, but even family kill their own members

Mind you, I’m not trying to excuse the fascist assholes, but a lot of these people were just people watching the wrong YouTube channel for a while, watching more and more fox news, etc… how would they have been today had they gotten normal content that wasn’t specifically designed to brainwash him?

Hello Kristallnacht my old friend, I’ve come to talk with you again…

Huh, now that I think about it, it’s been a while since we had one of those, not?

Why are you using that crap, then?

Drop pretence? Yeah they are going to do that.

Jesus h. Chist, you ARE the problem in the room. You and people like you.

Had kamela won she could have doubled down in Israel. If not, mass protests could have pushed her. Something, anything could have been done. Hell, even if nothing was done, at least the worst impulses would have been constrained. Now, because of smug assholes like you, the US will likely become a dictatorship, the US likely will pull out of NATO and the entire fucking world will become a much, much dangerous place to live in. Forget about internal policies that will make racism and discrimination against anyone slightly different okay again, this shit affects the whole goddamn world. People like you ate the reason why a Jesus-will-come-back-if-we-end-the-world cult is now in possession of nukes.

Oh, and Palestine is absolutely fucked now.expect it to simply and completely disappear, you are the reason why so many men, women and children will be slaughtered

Thank you!

But but but, i didn’t vote for Kamala because she wouldn’t do exactly as I wanted for the Palestinians! Things should be getting better for them, not worse, how could this be happening?

The solution is something super simple!

Yeaaahhh, no. It is not that simple, it is never they simple.
