Firstly, I'm beyond disgusted with my "fellow" Americans.
I'll go into the why's and wherefores a bit below -- all of which should be obvious -- but here's the thing.......
Most Americans are, by and large, very stupid people. So electing Trump the first time around in 2016 was ALMOST understandable when you take into account American stupidity. Understandable in the framework that most voters are low information and all they knew was the guy was a billionaire and that he was a big TV star.
What could be so bad about that? I mean, we elected Ronald Reagan and survived that amiright?
And its especially "understandable" when the previous eight years had featured a Black guy in the White House and then the Dems nominated a woman to replace him. I mean, if you're the average dumbfuck voter in this country -- you know, a white guy or woman who really doesn't like Black folks (or, for that matter, smart women....or really....women in general) Trump is gonna seem OK. Especially if you don't know shit about him other than The Apprentice. Which was the case with a lot of those assholes who voted for him in 2016
And sure, he did some heinous shit on the campaign trail and said some awful stuff. But that was just Trump being Trump.....right? He was just stirring up shit and the idiot hordes really dug that shit.
You can almost....ALMOST give those dipshits who voted for him in 2016 a pass.
But.......
Not in 2024!
In 2024 they knew everything they had learned about him in 2016 AND they fucking knew he was a rapist -- and yet they voted for him.
They fucking knew he was a traitor -- and yet they voted for him.
They fucking knew he was a convicted felon -- and yet they voted for him.
They fucking knew he was a racist and a fascist -- and yet they voted for him.
They fucking knew he stole from a children's cancer charity -- and yet they voted for him.
They knew he botched the Covid response so badly that 1.5 million Americans died from it -- and yet they voted for him.
They knew ALL OF THIS and yet they thought, "Yeah! I'll have four more years of that please."
I hate those people with a heat that makes the sun look like a snowball.
But you know what I hate more?
I hate myself.
I hate myself and feel like a fool for spending years in the military uniform of the US defending a nation infested by the type of appallingly horrible people who were capable of doing what they did on Election Day in spite of knowing what they all knew.
Meet the new Germans -- same as the old Germans.

And I feel like the folks in 1933 Germany-adjacent. I hope the insanity doesn't cross the border (but signs in our political world don't look good)
I think the reason Kamala lost is that she is a woman. The discrepancy is 14 million votes, a similar amount that also occurred for Hillary. Perhaps “penis” should be added to the requirements for the job, at least for now.
I just had my forty-sixth birthday (every fourth birthday is ruined by an election), and it wrecks me to think of the decades I wasted since I was an angry teenager raised by actual positive, progressive Christians, tying my brain in knots to convince myself that most of my fellow Americans were not in fact hateful, timorous, bigoted, brick-stupid sacks of garbage. I was raised better than to believe that. I wasted so much time laboring to think the best of people. I demand that time back.
Amen!
I’m beyond disgusted.
