Post title borrowed from a friend’s comment on FB about what just happened in America.
Fuck.
I’m not actually SURPRISED that this happened, not at all, it’s hardly the first time Americans have voted against their own interests and I daresay it won’t be the last, but I’m disappointed at them for doing so. The myth of freedom-loving rugged individual America is now dead if it wasn’t already; America wants a Big Strongman Leader as much as anyone else and seventy million voters wanted one enough that they chose this thing to fill that position. How many people didn’t vote at all, though? Cos frankly I’m blaming THEM as much as the seventy million Drumpf voters. The latter cared enough about TrumpCorp’s brand of fascism to want to impose it on the whole country. The non-voters didn’t care enough either way. And they’ll probably be fine under the new regime anyway, so they won’t care then either.
Oh, and all you fucking “I can’t vote for genocide” people who opposed Kamala over the Democrats’ support for Israel? Well done, you’re very moral and your purity is admirable and all that, but as far as the Gaza situation goes there were only going to be two outcomes: one, Kamala wins and might turn on Netanyahu once she was in the hot seat and things might get better; two, Trump wins and the situation will get worse. Congratulations, Kamala lost, you got what you wanted… and Netanyahu got what HE wanted. Frankly, the idea that anyone in his government was acting as a “brake” on him strikes me as ludicrous, but apparently people did see this Yoav Gallant person as holding back the worst elements of the far-right… but not any more, and I suspect Bibi picked this day deliberately to pull this stunt.
You let Jimmy Carter down, you cunts.
I am out of words.
