I love your country and hate that you're going through all of this.

Being an American immigrant is gonna be interesting because there's a lot of distrust for Trump. So like.

Prost

Prost, grabbed a bottle of wine after this day. I can't

[tanglespiders]

almost through a bottle of prosecco!

i am partly celebrating larry hogan’s demise, though, so i feel for anyone who doesn’t have a taste of spiteful glee today

i never go into these things hopeful. im always grim and ready to accept the loss. but this time i actually DID feel hopeful and like things might actually change. its making it double hard watching the us and germany go this way. i feel like an idiot for thinking problems would be solved, the world would possibly get a bit better, etc.

you’re not an idiot, the democrats are idiots for giving harris/waltz not even four months to campaign

[ayumidah]

Well, damn.

Hearing some things are afoot in New Zealand too. What a horrible day.

[layla618]

Stop it. What?!? This was my plan C 😭

IS NOWHERE SAFE???!

It's not a full on government collapse like Germany, but it does sound concerningly right wing
