When you hate your friend’s new friend

Trump isn't a new friend he's more of an abusive ex who gaslighting you into taking him back

@AmericanButterfly That is, unfortunately, the best way to put it. I'm seriously worried we won't weather the abuse this time.

@AmericanButterfly

I'm not even sure we took him back.

Almost everyone I know (and I know a looot of people, moved around a lot) voted against him. It seems like a 20:1 ratio of people who voted against him vs for him.

Yet, somehow, he "won", and I know the Russians were pouring nearly everything they had into election interference... and that was just kind of ignored?

@LilithRose i'm from a red state, South Dakota so i knew the 3 electoral collage votes were going to him but I still voted for Kamala Harris, along with 34.2% of the SD population

also 1.7% South Dakotan voted for Robert Kennedy like dudes he dropped out

Americans are not SAFE..

@Dessertedway

I fear that directly or indirectly that applies to most of the people in the world. Between his links with the fossil fuel companies and his apparently too friendly relationship with Putin I can see a lot of problems ahead.

The way america's brushing his trump ball's hair like a little girl brushing a my little pony figure's mane is killing me

From the saner part of the US, I'm sorry this is coming to pass. We thought we were better than this. We are not all like that fucking guy and his cronies. Gods save us from the mistake we've become.

I never wanted to renounce my citizenship before this week...

This will definitely affect the rest of the world. Americans aren't the only ones worried.

Some of us are going to be apologizing for our country for the next four years. It hurts my soul to see more than half my country so deluded as to put him in office again.

I'm convinced americans are a social experiment, i swear

@orangetree I personally like to think (read: joke around) that America is just one massive prank played upon the rest of the world that everyone who claims to have ever been there is in on

@orangetree George Washington, during his first inaugural address, called America's then unique form of government an experiment. Lincoln also referred to it as an experiment in an address to Congress when the southern states wanted to secede. You're pretty much spot on.

Hell, I *am* an American and I'm sick of our antics.

I fought depression yesterday and fighting political tourettes today. I'm still fighting so I am not dead yet.
