The art of politics will always amaze and intrigue. It’s looking like the majority of the people of the US believed in and voted for Trump. The Republican party look to have taken control of the Senate, the house of Representatives and the backing of the supreme court. It’s a huge achivement and things will never be the same again.
We live in a dangerous times in this world, we will have to see if Trump adds fuel to the fire or not. I stayed up most of the night to watch the results of the election, nothing like watching history being made right before your eyes, even when you cant believe what is unravelling before your very eyes. You want to try to give everyone the benefit of the doubt when you can, even Trump.
I could never vote how you have voted if you voted for him. But respect your right to vote in the way that you choose to do. There will be those that are now afriad, bitter, scarred and scared. You can not stop Trump being Trump and doing Trumpisms.
One of the most intriging political comebacks in American history is underway. If it was bought and will be sold it is all to late now to change.
I don’t really remember Trumps election when he was voted in the first time around, it just kind of happened. I dont think we will forget though the second time he has become electeted.
I still think Trump is a bad man and that is probably the majority view by many people I know and respect. You hope in a democracy that your government and like minded governments have the power and abilty to solve your problems and not make matters worse.

What’s interesting is that Trump appears to have got less votes than he did in 2020, an election he lost by a significant margin, however the Democrats are 15 million votes down from 2020. I know from being on Mastodon there are a lot of left-leaning Americans who could not bring themselves to vote for a candidate who was still intent on arming the Israelis for their genocide against the Palestinians. There was also issue Harris trying to appeal to the Republican voters while seemingly forgetting her own base. It appears from the data that a lot of Democrats or people who usually vote for the Democrats just chose not to vote at all.

I have many LGBTQ friends in America and I’m really worried for them now.
