They did have a look at the major news outlets and the daily show a while back so.

Dudes a lame duck now, go ask Trump and the Republicans what they are going to do.

Last I check out was “Finish the job.”.

Got some kitchen appliances I’ve been putting off upgrading, buying a new TV now, new PC. Basically if theres electronics that probably won’t make it for four years, buy it now.

Get your garden going too. Been extremely poor, it helps a ton.

Oh just fyi, of you have to buy from a big box store, Lowe’s donate the most to Democrats and last to Republicans. Fuck home Depot.

Sigh…

and before you go all crazy, it’s the collective you

I wasn’t before but I’m making assumptions now.

Yup. Didn’t have my back in the most critical fight of our lives and let a convicted felon, rapist, and racist and all of his fellow cronies back in, creating this giant fucking mess where you, and before you go all crazy, it’s the collective you, gave the criminal, rapist, racist party a huge ass mandate with a crushing popular vote victory.

And now after throwing a petulant tantrum, come out and ask for my help to fix this mess your guys created? You wanted to teach America and Democrat a lesson, well congratulations to those 15 million voters +70 million voters, lesson learned.

I’ve learned that this nation is not better than this. I’ve learned that MLK’s warnings about allies are correct. I’ve learned that this nation isn’t worth my effort. I’ve learned Americans as a whole are worse than what George Carlin said they were. You all collectively fucked around and you and I who did the work, get to find out.

Yup, going to join those Americans value that were exposed this election and sit my ass out, fix yourselves first, I’m tired of being asked to save fair weather allies while being told I’m not American enough.

Wish I could. Looked last time Trump won, legal emigration is quite difficult if you’re not rich. Didn’t find a job that would sponsor and is a lot harder now with a more grown family. The only places I could more easily emigrate to, well they’re less than ideal and is already what America has decided to become.

Yup and I was going to wait until next year for a price drop which as of late seems to be AMD’s trend of aggressive pricing to complete.

Ding, ding! Yup, that’s just what it’s going to happen and under Trump’s proposal, will still be hit by a blanket tariff.

Also even if they do move manufacturing to the US, we don’t have the amount of raw materials so that would have to be imported under those same tariffs and prices would go up because labor is more expensive and we don’t have that manufacturing expertise, that’s not the US’s competitive advantage.

Case in point:

I mean seriously, America keeps playing itself.

15 million people, including large swaths of Democrats and progressives, sat their asses out this election and gave us this avoidable fight.

Yeah, you’re on your own to fix your own mess, count me out

Which sucks because I was going to wait for the next Gen CPUs to drop and the the rdna 4 cards Ray tracing performance before updating my current rig.

With this uncertainty it looks like I’ll be building now.

The best way to be fleeced by a company that put minimal effort and charges that maximum price.

Ha ha ha!

This is absolutely delicious!

I know I’m going to be fucked over hard but it’s still heartwarming to see those adults who put is here also get fucked even harder!

I guess I really struggle to give two shits at this point. Not to dismiss or minimize your struggles if this is going to directly affect you, I do feel some level of empathy but overall, I just don’t care anymore.

We’re just going to have to see where the chips fall but I mean 72 million people and 15 million others that include Democrats and progressives decided that this is the course that America should take and take it America should.

Sucks but this is what America will deserve and there’s not much you’ll be able to do about it other than hope you and others like you have a local community to fall back on.

Honestly who knows, it’s literally on the whims of the giant toddler and who he listens to last that afternoon.

Have you met the Supreme Court? No he’s not going to be in jail.

Oh please, 20 million voters that didn’t vote wasn’t affected by the rantings of a few people on Lemmy or Reddit.

Feel bad for the rest of the world who still rely on the unreliable American voters.

Don’t disagree and I honestly hope all of their promises come true this time, abortion restrictions at the federal level, the gutting of government, putting Herschel Walker as the head of the DoD, all of it.

Americans will never learn unless they suffer.

X is a accurate representation of America.
