Make no mistake. This is not the end of the beginning, but the beginning of the end. If the trends of tonight carry though, as it seems they will, democracy dies 1/20/2025.

Just looknat how all the Rs voted. Economy is more important than democracy to them.

And yet every single professional economist has said his plan will destroy the US economy.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The people who are electing the tangerine turd don't read the Wall Street Journal. Hell, most of them can't read "Dick and Jane" books. What some intelligent, educated economist in New York has to say means fuck all to them.

I'm up, WAY past my bedtime, stressing over this election. What in the actual fuck is wrong with my country??!! One of my sons claims that the "selection process" for the Dem presidential candidate was badly handled. I'm going to ask him point blank, in the morning, if he voted for the chump for that reason (I don't think he voted for the chump).

The stuff I was hearing around me today from people who should know better, it saddened me. I foresee no hope for a country of people who believe in such a way.

There was a clear choice today. Fascism or no. At this point, I have to wonder if there will be a 'Unites' States in four years. When the cocksucker-in-chief turns the military on civilians, he will spark a civil war.

Apparently, the only way to be a great nation is to be an unenlightened one.
