I am not going to be sober if it turns out we have to deal with Trump (or notorious couch-fucker JD Vance) for another 4 years

        The whole planet, the whole human race is directly affected

          That’s not what “direct” means. Abortion isn’t going to be outlawed in my country because Trump becomes president, unless he goes to war with us and wins.

            Lol, like their drug prohibitionism never spilled over to other countries?

            Like it or not they influence policy everywhere. Plus if they opt out of environmental policies (even more than they already do), they absolutely have the power to fuck up the Planet for everybody else.

            I won’t even touch military matters as they should be self-obvious.

            How much more direct can it be? Trump moving in with you?

        During the Trump administration, every morning I’d wake up with vague existential dread, picking up my phone thinking “what now?” And every morning there would be some new shameful low. It was awful.

          Seriously same. And that’s not exaggeration either. It really was EVERY. FUCKING. DAY. was some new stupid bullshit, or the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard, or him announcing something horrible.

          And here we are about to maybe elect a man with the IQ of a spoon again. But now with felony convictions.

        Oh I’m absolutely sure it does, and thank the fucking gods I’ll probably only be indirectly affected

      I can only imagine; this wouldn’t be a one bottle of rum situation if I lived there.

      Y’all have my empathy, this shit can’t be easy.
