Donald Trump & JD Vance Win 2024 US Presidential Election

[audreysdance 3,247]

I'm so speechless...but a thought recurred in my mind: something similar happened in my country, two years ago. The now president is a woman but she's still accused of similar things as Trump.

We were all shocked when she was voted..but the point is, in my opinion, that we should try to understand what brings so many people on this side, what bring them to vote, to need a certain kind of president instead of another. 

I mean, I don't think it can all be reduced to "dumbness" or stupidity. What are the reasons, what brought people to vote for him? 

I think that after this will be cleared, getting better and better will be easier in the years to come. There's still so much hope to hold on.

True but what will remain of that democracy after four years? THAT is the real question.

I’m extremely uneducated in US history since all we learn every year in Australia is the same damn aboriginal history but why are there 2 parties? Like I know they have 2 different values but what’s the reason for having 2 why can’t they meet in the middle and then have 2 candidates going for that besides being extremely competitive and like we saw today half the nation is left unsatisfied

In Ireland in my studio just staring at the wall. My condolences

they both got 1.6 million votes in wisconsin but he just got 30k more, he only got 200k more in PA, and only 100K more in georgia.

this election was INSANELY close and it shows how important voting is and more importantly tactical voting

Really sucks but these messages of hope on LB make me feel less alone. Thank you, we will get through this one way or another ❤️ 

[motel six 3,099]

sorry i meant 1.6 million, fixed

From senile grandad to meme influencer. Coconut trees can get you only this far. Democrats were a huge clowns this time, it's crazy.

And if someone else tries and doesn’t miss then you get the really unhinged redneck who thinks you’re not a worthwhile human unless you breed

Marvellous

Idk why I’m so emotional about it I’m not even fucking american

 

kamala deserved it more than anyone it’s so excruciatingly painful to know that half of America would gladly and willingly vote in someone like trump when a behind perfect candidate is right there. The fact that they were so close to getting the first female president and that woman being Kamala would’ve been an actual dream

 

this has actually ruined even my future. I’ve had a dream of moving to New York by 2029 (29 is my favourite number and it’s always been my vision that 2029 will be the best year of my life) but now I’ll have to wait till that 82 year old man gets out first this is so beyond fucked and I hate America for it but love literslly every person that voted for Kamala as if they’re voting for me

Sending all my love to you, US citizens who are liberal thinkers just like me

This is the main issue. Trump as an individual is one thing, but it's the millions of people and politicians he's galvanised into radical alt-right nutjob thinking that will carry on his legacy. Vance, Cruz, Desantis and so many more are merely a glimpse of what's to come.

 

And on top of that, this will only propel the Democratic party further to the right to appease the masses.

this sux,,, I really did think she absolutely had this. 

[itscharlibabyy 2,781]

when these next 4 years turn out to be hell, (which they will be with a gop majority senate and project 2025 on the agenda) i will have no sympathy. if this is what people voted for, they deserve everything that's coming.
