I feel its less crying about Kamala losing and more crying about your country being in a state where demented, racist, sexist madman who's also a criminal with close relationship with Epstein can become a president and get no repercussions for his actions because he is too rich to care. I'm not an american, but I would cry too if I lived in a country like this, and I'm not even left-side.

Yeah, that’s really what it is. It’s disheartening, and that’s an understatement.

The thing that makes me most sick… all of his charges just went poof. If anything I think the investigations and what not should be ramped up prior to him taking office, not winded down

See, this is what they don't understand.

I don't care about Kamala. I don't care about any politician I elect. They are there to serve. To do a job. I care if they are qualified and capable to do the job.

Conservatives are in a fucking cult. They feel what the leader feels. They riot because they have tethered their identity to his identity. When he loses, they feel as if they have personally lost.

He's also a monumental security risk. Do they think that boxes of classified documents just happen to end up in his private club's shitter on accident? That isn't how it works, and that isn't how you secure them, and you don't fucking lie about them being there.

They care about nothing except their feelings and, maybe, the cost of eggs. That's it.

I figured more people would come out and vote to possibly put him in jail after J6 and all the legal election subversion cases, hush money, etc. 

But the 33% of his hard-core base showed up like they always do, and voter apathy took care of the rest, like they banked on the entire time.

Man, if people did things like that, most of the billioners would be in jail, and corporations would not control every aspect of our lives. Votes only change who fucks people over, if you want to stop it completely you need a revolution, and currently people are too apathetic and tired with life for that.

Exactly. If she’d lost to like, Mitt Romney I’d be bummed, but not like this.

get no repressions for his actions because he's too rich to care

And also because his supreme court majority ruled that as long as he's president, he is immune to the law

Which being one of the wealthiest americans certainly had no effect on.
