I feel somewhat the same. I’m sick over this but ultimately it’s not going to affect my life. It’ll mostly hurt the people who voted for him.


Except for women. This is tragic for all women and girls (and men who actually care about them), regardless of their economic position or political persuasion.


Well then the women (and men who actually care about them) in red state should have voted in their own self interest. Women in blue states will be fine and wealthy women everywhere will be fine.


You understand that federal legislation affects everyone, right? Even women in blue states?


Are they going to take my passport too? Are we North Korea now? Do explain.


I'll be happy to explain. Perhaps you should read the articles about the women who died because doctors would not provide the life-saving reproductive medical care in time. These were adult women with wanted pregnancies. These weren't abortions that they had time to seek overseas or even in another state. They were denied EMERGENCY medical care. Let that sink in. I have no idea how those women vote. The point is that all women, even those with passports, will suffer if they need emergency care that has been outlawed by federal legislation introduced and passed by a Republican Congress, signed by Trump, and upheld by the Republican Supreme Court. I hope that is clear enough for you.


And the family voted for Trump.

How do you know they voted for Drumpf


It was on the Texas subreddit.

Very typical thinking for progressives. You want the "other" to suffer while your stocks go up. Everyone senses your hatred. And you are not winning elections with your spite.


Trump and the Reps literally just won an election with their spite! Trump = spite.
Spite clearly works. So does playing dirty. And so I am done with my kindness, open-mindedness and compassion.


+1

Out of spite, I think Ds should hang back for a few elections at the federal level. Let the Rs turn the US into the hellhole they desire. Then we can revisit the value of government regulation and government services. Maybe they need to feel the pain first.

Moron we are already feeling the pain which is why Democrats lost so badly. Why do over 70% of Americans feel like the country is moving in the wrong direction if the Democrats were doing such a fantastic job? They have held office for the past 12 out of 16 years. A majority of people believe they are worse off today than they were in 2020. Why are so many people moving to red states? The definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results.



Because of the pandemic, world-wide supply chain, etc.

People would be in an even worse place if Trump had won in 2020. Ds gave us a soft landing. Just look at how the US is recovering compared to other countries.


Well people who understand economics and can read and process real news understand that. But majority of the 51% don't understand that and don't want to.


That is really condescending. The entire globe suffered from inflation. It was not as bad in the United States as it was in other places. That is not impossible or even that difficult to grasp.


And the reason it's "not as bad in the US as it was in other places" is largely because of the Biden administration. Yet those 51% are told "nope it's bad, it's all Biden/Harris fault" and they believe it. My point exactly. Not sure why explaining facts is condescending. Some choose to learn and understand, others choose to believe blatant lies. So they got what they wanted by believing those lies



Many of that 51% are smart enough to know the inflation in the US could have been much worse, but they chose racism, sexism, homophobia and tax cuts.


Either way it's an embarrassment. If she was a white male (heck even a black male) she would be president elect.

Thanks, MAGA for teaching us how to be callous.

Reporting stats coming out that it was the young, white women who skewed right and voted for Trump. The voting group Harris thought she would get moved for Trump. In the states where abortion amendments were on the ballot, the young, white women split their ticket and voted for abortion rights, and against Harris. So they want safe abortions and gynecological health care, but not Harris.


And what happens if a national abortion ban takes place? Or, better yet what happens if IVF is outlawed? These young white women are going find out the hard way what happens.

Thanks for reminding me how stupid Trump voters are.


Neither of those will happen. Shame you listened to Kamala’s fear mongering.


Fetal personhood is coming. Johnson is on the case.


gonna make things interesting on HOV lanes. Do ova and sperm count too?

Obamacare isn’t going anywhere. Too many red states have approved it and will not give it up. It’s all talk.


You can tell yourself that but did you not pay attention to what Trump, Vance and Johnson said? They’re going to fix it. They want to put people in risk pools so that young healthy people don’t “have to subsidize” the elderly and those with preexisting conditions.


Thus making it unaffordable for the elderly and those with preexisting conditions.
Oh, and currently ACA does base your rates on your age. Much cheaper for a couple who is 40 vs a couple at 55. So the only people you would be hurting are those with preexisting conditions---they cannot help that and should not be punished.

Also, trump had 4 years to "fix Obamacare". Did we see a plan? Did we see a "concept of a plan"

I see you’re keeping with the brilliant strategy of calling half the country trash.

Keep it up I’m sure it will win you guys the election in 2028


You are trash you voted for a rapist and a traitor.

Trump won. You can put this lie to bed now. Just like the “caravans” of 2016.


Semi related, but there were Drag Queen Story Hours held at public libraries all around the DMV and in other liberal parts of the country that were caught on tape and went viral on social media.

At public libraries, not in someone’s home.

If you thought these things were “cute”and didn’t actively oppose them, don’t cry about Trump when a mom in Dearborn or a Hispanic man in New Jersey votes Trump for no other reason than they, RIGHTLY, think that kind of stuff is weird and they want no part of a party that looks the other way and tacitly supports it.

In the 1990s and 2000s, any mainstream Dem would look at you like you were crazy if you told there were drag queens reading books to kids in staged events at public libraries. And this type of crap is one of the reasons Trump won.


The irony of voting out a party that promotes a drag queen story hour only to replace it with a party who's leader says the most vile things about women, minorities, and immigrants boggles the mind. I think I'll stick with the drag queens.


Trump looks like a drug queen too, with all that makeup.

inflation to a progressive

wage growth to a normal human being.


I live in an area where minimum wages are $17/hr+. Yes wage growth is great. It also means a 16 oz latte is $7.58 (not $3.5 like it is in places where min wage is the federal limit).
Extrapolate that to the grocery store next and restaurants.
Very few employers just pay more per hour and take it fully out of their profits.



So your problem is with Capitalism? Or with companies being forced to pay something closer to a living wage?

How is this going to work when Trump deports so many workers and the labor market tightens and drives up wage prices more?


I have no issues with capitalism. I happily support it!

Was explaining to the previous poster that along with wage growth comes higher prices. So unless you are actually being paid more yourself at a rate to keep up with prices/inflation, you will think everything is more expensive.

And yes, when trump deports so many workers, workers who are willing to do jobs for cheap labor, jobs that most Americans don't want to do (hard, manual labor jobs), those same people who voted for this won't understand why the cost to replace their roof just doubled from the quote they got last year.....

There is no federal limit on wages.

Fed min wage is $7.25/hr.

And here we go.

Several companies are already digging into their year-end cash to buy supplies and components in advance of the coming tariffs.

For my own company we're trying to buy an entire years' worth of certain components to get ahead of the curve. We're having to do this so we can honor contract pricing for current customers.

And no, the exporters do not pay the tariff, despite what Trump says.

I’m not the OP, but I feel the same way. Poor & working class voted for Trump. Well guess who is going to suffer? Poor and working class.

I give up. I’ll take my cushy tax breaks and stock benefits. I’ve got my retirement nicely set and my kids are in private. Trump is only going to benefit me.

You can’t help people who won’t help themselves.


People with less money actually are slightly more democratic leaning in past elections.
