No.
There’s no moving on from this, it’s the last peaceful election we are gonna get.
The idiots trying to downplay this are going to be very suprised in 3-4 years when they get drafted so the Republicans can declare martial law and stay in power for life
Who’s we? I’m not even in the same hemisphere as the dumpster fire that is the USA.
If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.
If trump would stop being a weird fascist people would stop talking about him, just saying…
Please no…
Sensible Erection (reddit precursor) had to spin off a-whole-nother site, Sensible Election for the '04 (I think?) election and aftermath.
I think we need mods to step up and enforce no politics rules
If they mods are promoting politics it is time to move on.
Every board is a politics board … Forever…
Move on? No.
The next 4 years are going to be awful. Your choices are pretty much to fight like hell to limit the damage to your community, tune it all out to protect yourself from the stress, or find a way out of the country, at least until after the next election (god willing).
In that case can we just focus more on other things?
You a white cis male?
Do you need to ask?
dont count on another election. scotes threw that out of the ring. if biden could anull the election snd stop the switch, you can bet trump will do it
Are people dumb enough to think our world is going to continue as it has, just keep making memes, move on? We done fucked up, there will be nothing to move on to.
Right? That was possibly the last election for president our country will hold. No, I can’t just move on from it.
Like Biden will likely have to leave the country once he’s no longer president, along with his whole family. Taylor Swift might have to leave. Who knows what this raging narcissist will do.
A man who will rape, which is sexual torture, doesnt care about you or your body except how it pleases him. Including killing you. We are very fucked. He will punish us until his narcissistic ego feels satiated.
The US has the top military budget and nuclear weapons, which was just given to an open fascist who is clearly in the pocket of a foreign power, which has an interest in destroying our country.
With that mentality you are screwed regardless.
Chill
No. You and we all are too. Unless you Simpson the result this is it. The end. Go pic your damn last song for your and everyone’s life you got, maybe, 5 years left but I doubt that much.
“He was only stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate. We need to move on … and then finish wiping up the floor.”
Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?
Yeah sure. Just find someone who can put me in a medical coma, and I’ll ‘forget’ all about it.
yeah, in 4 years
That’s very optimistic
Get your gasoline now.
I just want normal memes…
Apathy does feel a lot better than engaging with reality
Some of us care about the country.
What are you going to do? This feels more like a pointless circle jerk. Maybe create a community to discuss the next 4 years
I’m already involved in local politics and will be fighting like hell to save it.
What are you going to do?
Shit post
Ask us again in four years… I fucking hope.
Ngl seeing the American left wing bubble burst is wild and entertaining. I mean, I would never want Trump to be elected but people have gotten a huge reality check of what sort of online environment they were exposed to.
Ngl, seeing the naivete and ignorance about what just happened is wild and entertaining.
It is crazy to me all the things I’ve heard people just casualty say. There are people who straight up think he is going to start creating death camps.
He might not create policies you like but he is the president not a fascist dictator from WWII
He literally promised to create concentration camps.
He is also a known liar, and I personally believe he’ll deliver that one partially to a small ratio that is still horrible but too small to count as the promise. But I can’t really fault people from fearing it’s not a lie.
You don’t understand he said this will be the last election. That’s obviously one of the few truths out of his mouth among the millions of lies.
His ex wife, who he possibly murdered, said under oath he kept a book of Hitler’s speeches on his bedside table. He may not be Hitler, but he’s emulating him as close as possible. He will kill the entire planet. AMOC collapse is underway. We are all actively dead now. Good luck.
Read up, bud;
Right? It’s insane.
I’m hoping this will blow over in a bit
I have NEVER wanted to be wrong more than in this very instant… but I’ve also never been more scared that we’re all right: Hitler 2.0 is about to make life suck for 99% of the population of the planet.
Sure!
So how about this climate change huh? Ecological collapse in just a couple of decades from what I hear. And really no one with significant power anywhere doing anything but speeding it up.
Discuss.
and do what? carry on like nothing changes for worse? yknow, plain water is better for you than koolaid
Yeah it would be nice to have some interesting things again.
Ironic! This post is a direct violation of rule 2. No politics.
If you haven’t noticed that’s all of Lemmy. This is the last post I will make that is political related.
I saw this post earlier and figured it was more of a meta post about discussions on Lemmy rather than a political post itself, but the thread is getting too heated for a meme community, and I’m going to lock.
Maybe delete it since it violates the rules anyway? Should help with your issues with political posts everywhere also.
Nah dog
It’s your post, dog. If you’ll like it to serve as an example of the very thing you’re here to complain about-
I’m not going to stand in your way.
That rule clearly isn’t being enforced at all, have you seen the state of this place?
So. It’s okay to break them if there’s no one that will enforce them……
Hmmm, that certainly sounds familiar.
Yes! Can we go back to exchanging funny memes and cute animal videos with each other again? Please?
Lemmy: I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do that
No we need at least a weeo to fling shit and jump off the walls.
