UPDATE: Donald Trump Takes Office as the 47th US President
- Thread starter DC_Dude
- Start date
Especially when a dude like DeSantis is running the show!
Just a wild guess: you are not a "glass half full" kinda guy, huh?
Just askin'.
No
But really it all depends, when it comes to American politics and especially Florida politics...hell fuck no. Lol
Although the quote you posted was positive lol
Today is the day. We picked a side, and we stand by that decision. Under Trump we would be hunted down and put in prison, or camps - or even worse. Humans, no matter who you are always mandate self-preservation as a top priority.
There are many reasons why we stepped into this.
The global shift into far-right wing authoritarianism needs to be stopped. Many countries (and its people) follow the trends of the USA's political leanings. We have many activists in the EU too - and we feel like we would be abandoning our friends and comrades if we stayed idle and said nothing.
While many of us are political anarchists, socialists, libertarians (that hate trump) and follow the hacker's creed of "curiosity" - as also "We exist without skin color, without nationality, without religious bias", we understand that humanity is way too infantile for that vision, hell humans are still afraid of skin color and how people identify... living in an open society based off of humanitarianism would certainly cause massive cerebral hemorrhaging in a significant portion of earth's population.
We choose the future for all of our children, not some dystopian vision of an old narcissistic has-been who has no real dreams of helping humanity, whose only purpose is to subjugate, control, and breed hatred.
All these years we have fought so hard for a better world for everyone. That's why we call out corrupt governments and corporations. That's why we have ALWAYS taken the side of the people, the side of the oppressed and marginalized.
Taking the side of Trump and Elon is taking the side of the very elitists we've been fighting against since we hopped in our boats and sailed the 7 proxies. It's all come to a head now, and for many of us - this election will show the course of where the world is going to head. If Kamala wins, we can continue to do what we deem to be helpful. If Trump wins, we will definitely fight back as much as we can - but we will also most likely end up in chains.
We are not afraid of the weak-minded fools who parrot their ignorance, we are afraid for you - the people, our families, our partners, our children, our world.
So when Kamala wins, don't be shocked if we speak out against the things we don't agree with - because we will - but at least we'll have the freedom to do so without being sent to the gulag.
Yes, we have a contingency of haters, we're ok with that - they have the right to speak out against us, anyone does. The remarks they make are quite funny, because they offer no insight on what visions they have to offer - only hate and vulgarities that point to deeper problems with them psychologically.
We will continue to fight - always.

We got this
Unnecessary. No need to talk to people like this.
Sounds like she didn't vote.
Cautiously optimistic.
I'm feeling all right about it. Every metric that's been used says that high turnout favors Dems/Harris. On top of that, said high turnout is decidedly in the demographics that should skew her way.
I know I've been let down before, but I just don't see this much voting energy and momentum getting behind voting for Trump. So seeing the energy and momentum makes me believe that she has a bigger push than they believed that she did.
Well said, I feel you.
Yep! A few election cycles ago FL voted to reinstate voting rights to former convicted felons.....many of them are still waiting to have their rights reinstated.
I wish people would stop doing this. Used to be against the law.
I think it still is.
However, I remember seeing a self proclaimed hitman on a talk show when I was a kid. I wondered why he wasn't arrested on the spot, since he was admitting to having killed several people. (He was wearing a mask).
It seems that, in court, he could simply say he was lying to get on the show. Almost impossible to prove otherwise without specifics, not to mention a face to put with the crime. (at least that was the case waaaay back when.)
That said, I think the same reasoning occurs here. It may be ILLEGAL TO PHOTOGRAPH AND SHARE YOUR BALLOT. How can you prove it's HIS ballot?
I could be wrong. Just conjecturin'.
True but it will be multiple competing companies so the prices should be competitive especially if they want to compete with corner boys.
This is especially true here in Australia.
Back in April these folks were afraid the bottom about to fall out cause you had the Fascists in Germany looked like they were going to win, the Fascists in France looked like they were going to win and then to some Trump was on a path to re-election.
Example A. When is the last time you thought about Mr Bell? Seriously?
Antonio Brown? Kicked a Punter - Yes? Known to clown on the Twitter - Yes? Opinion Leader in the Black Community - No?
