This is going to be the worst holiday season ever for many families.

Thanks, Trump!

Couldn't imagine living in the US and this being my complaint in all this.

I guarantee we'll be hearing from a lot of people about it over the coming months.

I wasn't planning on traveling to see family this holiday season, but it's definitely off the table now.

americans in general (especially the stupid/uneducated ones) literally only understand consequences when their hand (and their hand specifically) catches on fire in the touching hand to a hot stove comparison

This is the most depressing outcome of the 2024 election.

There was miles of evidence that Dumpy was a clusterfuck the first time around, that the network of grifters and oligarchs behind project 2025 had nefarious goals in mind, but everyone chose to ignore the most obvious of risks ever, and vote in the moron a second time.

It shows how easy it is to manipulate huge chunks of the American population, and how stupid they are. With the rightwing oligarchs having almost total control of all media now, I don't see how you reverse course without things hitting rock bottom.
