WARP wo kaishi!

@RachelVT42 @denisewu That's because your reading comprehension and understanding of reality is low.

@denisewu That's one of the stupidest post I've read today, congrats.

Latinos and Muslims voted for their families and friends deportation, please don’t come crying to democrats when Trump enact these policies. You did that, democrats are no longer in power

@RachelVT42 @unusual_whales It's already allocated, shithead. The money is gone. They just have to put the weapons on the ships and send them.

@unusual_whales Didn't they get the message?! That's pretty insulting to voters who made it clear they are struggling financially and they're sick of money being sent abroad instead of being spent here in the US.

The Biden administration is planning to rush the last of over $6 billion remaining in Ukraine security assistance out the door by Inauguration Day, per POLITICO

@David_Moscrop If you're asking me to recognize the essential humanity and intrinsic value of the "mass deportations now" crowd, no thank you. I decline. They deserve all the contempt anyone can muster.

Are there vile Trumpers? Yes. Plenty of them. But the voting public isn’t a monolith and dismissing tens of millions of people as inherently vile, hopeless and beneath you is how you end up with Trump — or worse.

I cannot stress this enough: you can’t dismiss ~70-80 million Trump voters as a monolith of rubes, idiots, racists, misogynists, homophobes, and fascists.

@David_Moscrop No, it's a polylith. There are rubes. There are idiots. There are racists. There are misogynists. There are homophobes. There are fascists. Some of these categories overlap. What there aren't are decent people.

@dataandpolitics Yes 100%

@dataandpolitics 25 years of refusing to build housing is the most multi-layered own-goal in this whole story.

@513fashwatch ACAB included presidential candidates.

@BobLblawsLawBlg What I'm saying is that this will not happen again. Future presidents will prefer to roll the dice on a depression, because the voters have made it abundantly clear they cannot tolerate grocery number go up.

@yhdistyminen Yup just took the whole thing out back and lit it on fire. We will all suffer and the Taiwanese and Ukrainians will suffer tenfold.

It feels like we traded a lot of good—slow but steady progress on civil rights, economic stimulus in response to hardship, a world order based on trade and American power, a solid track record of peaceful transfers of presidential power—for absolutely nothing.

@johnkonrad Agree this is the feeling today.

Just visited my go-to bellwether spot: an elite liberal coffee shop in Massachusetts, post-election. Super small sample size, but here’s the vibe: Overall, a mix of resignation and something harder to define—maybe a blend of mild annoyance, a hint of depression, some agitation? No strong emotions: no anger at Republicans, no rage, no deep fear, no tears. It’s a far cry from 2016’s atmosphere. They’re still forming a consensus, and I don’t think they’ll settle on anything until Kamala speaks. Surprisingly, zero blame directed at her. Instead, the leading theory around here is that it’s Walz’s fault. I overheard this in a few conversations, though reasons vary. Nobody is saying he’s expendable because he’s a white man. No one’s pointing to deeper issues, like media gaslighting. Theories are light, not well-formed, and there’s no serious introspection or appetite to address root problems within the party. It feels like everyone’s waiting for someone else to offer a narrative they can rally behind. Just my read, but that’s the impression. There was one group of half a dozen middle aged wealthy women organized around table to organize something. They were serious, had the feeling of a corporate HR meeting, but didn’t seem like they were gaining much traction on whatever their plans were. Of note I did hear talk about doing something with European nations (starting with the French 🤷‍♂️) Again I’ll stress it was a small sample size

It turned out "private taxi for my burrito" was way higher on people's list of priorities than we anticipated

@nachodog @jdabre11 No thanks. If your allegedly benevolent sky ghost produces outcomes like this then I want less than nothing to do with it. When we die we're fuckin' worm food. And if by some chance there is some sort of afterlife than whatever powerful thing is up there can teabag my balls.

@JohnnyWurster @jdabre11 I’ll pray for you

Btw, we're going to have a 7-2 SCOTUS for the next 40 years. Any hope of any progress in civil rights or in progressive policy is completely and utterly dead.

@jennifer_vacari @JosephPolitano Eat shit.

I'm a broken record on this but a 2nd Trump presidency makes it even more important that big liberal cities become places that build enough housing to accept the internal & international migration they've been pricing out for decades

I get that this is unproductive. I'm just so fucking tired, man. The arrogance. The hubris. The total dismissal of actual real-life results because it doesn't jive with the moderate Republican they made up in their head

Every election I try to explain why catering to Republicans will never work. I try to explain the way right-wing media convinces its audience that as bad as the GOP nominee is, the Dem candidate is literally Stalin Every election, libs condescendingly explain to me why I'm wrong

@__sy_zy_gy__ @ruthbenghiat You're an idiot.

@ruthbenghiat Sounds insurrectionary

@thereegs @mehdirhasan You are a terrible person with no intrinsic human value.

@mehdirhasan It's going to be amazing, just wonderful!

People - including top US journalists, perhaps especially top US journalists - don’t quite get how bad it’s going to be. How beyond term one it’ll be. How bad the Musks and RFKs will be. I don’t think even I fully accept how bad it’s going to be and I have been shouting how bad it’s going to be for years.

@ZaidJilani They literally are fascists though. Go down the 14 points it's all there.

@StrewthQueen Two groups can be shitheads at the same time.

Attacking 500k people who voted Greens when 70+ million people voted Trump is unhinged
