Considering it affects a lot of people, negatively, it is rightfully a topic.
It has impacted no one yet. It is only November
Which means it’s time to prepare. Get out of the states, change name/gender, try to minimize (ecological) contact with the USA etc.
Sounds pretty fucking privileged that you even have the option of moving on from the topic
I haven’t seen anything productive in any of the conversations about it I’ve looked at. Just fingerpointing at who’s to blame. It’s pointless to argue now.
You might be right, but sometimes we sort through things by saying the wrong things first.
It is pretty easy to do. You just move on.
What an awful thing to say.
I guess we know (if they live in the US) what they didn’t do on tuesday.
Kinda hard to ‘move on’ while watching other people across the pond lose their human rights and possibly getting invaded by Russia myself.
We will have to see what happens. Hopeful Trump will mean with Putin right away.
If not he is prepared to sign off on more aid.
This is a big topic after all so there is no way one can just “move on”.
In that case can you move to the dedicated political communities then?
I’ll move my foot to its dedicated spot in your ass.

As a Brazilian nervously watching the unfolding of a potentially global mess, I bring you the best Brazil can offer: memes! Here’s a pretty relatable one (Original cartoon from Maurício de Souza, Turma da Mônica)
Lemmy in a nutshell
Lucky for you thanks for MAGA and non voters there will not be another free US election
Until 4 years from now
We have a system of checks and balances for a reason
…between the branches of government, which the R’s just swept. Add in the fact that the supreme Court just gave the president criminal immunity if it’s “official” (a term they define), and who exactly is going to check and balance?
We can’t move on without a proper segue. How about politics+beans memes? I can’t imagine anyone would be unhappy with that.
Hasn’t taken a shit for 3 election seasons!
When need something better than beans…
I don’t know what it is but I’m sure its out there.
Ngl seeing the American left wing bubble burst is wild and entertaining. I mean, I would never want Trump to be elected but people have gotten a huge reality check of what sort of online environment they were exposed to.
Ngl, seeing the naivete and ignorance about what just happened is wild and entertaining.
It is crazy to me all the things I’ve heard people just casualty say. There are people who straight up think he is going to start creating death camps.
He might not create policies you like but he is the president not a fascist dictator from WWII
Read up, bud;
Right? It’s insane.
I’m hoping this will blow over in a bit
I have NEVER wanted to be wrong more than in this very instant… but I’ve also never been more scared that we’re all right: Hitler 2.0 is about to make life suck for 99% of the population of the planet.
Oh don’t worry. Many from Europe/Germany are focusing on our broken government right now.
That’s accurate to how I feel inside. GOP got it all. So nothing can really stop their agenda. Which sucks if you’re not white male.
judging by project 2025 they can stop their own agenda by not being able to agree what it is.
I thought the image would reflect the GOP right now. Instead here I am with egg on my face.
Unfortunately, one thing with GOP is they may disagree but tend to fall in line.
A rich white male.
Good point! If you are poor you are not in the club.
Next time don’t be poor duh.
Damn, I knew I messed up when I decided to be poor.
Add Christian and cishet to that.
Except that is not really true…
Trump may not be in line with your political beliefs but somehow I doubt all of the crazy stuff I’ve heard said. He isn’t creating death camps or deporting democrats to Mexico.
Are people dumb enough to think our world is going to continue as it has, just keep making memes, move on? We done fucked up, there will be nothing to move on to.
With that mentality you are screwed regardless.
Chill
No. You and we all are too. Unless you Simpson the result this is it. The end. Go pic your damn last song for your and everyone’s life you got, maybe, 5 years left but I doubt that much.
Attention everyone there was a major US election that took place 2 days ago resulting in Trump winning
If you get on social media for the next month (probably more) you are going to see politics unless you filter it out or get off social media
If you don’t see it it’s not happening.
Can we just accept reality and move on?
What’s the worse thing that could happen? People are freaking out like the world is ending but we have had arguably worse presidents historically
When have we had someone with a worse agenda than Project 2025? When was the last time someone threatened to become a dictator in this country? When was the last time the president who advocates for the encampment of all “illegals” was given the house, senate, and courts, allowed to do whatever they wanted with their cult of personality following their every whim? What the fuck kind of presidents do you think we’ve had previously?!?
yeah, in 4 years
I just want normal memes…
Apathy does feel a lot better than engaging with reality
Ask us again in four years… I fucking hope.
Move on? No.
The next 4 years are going to be awful. Your choices are pretty much to fight like hell to limit the damage to your community, tune it all out to protect yourself from the stress, or find a way out of the country, at least until after the next election (god willing).
In that case can we just focus more on other things?
You a white cis male?
“He was only stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate. We need to move on … and then finish wiping up the floor.”
