The left is like "Oh, he's hitler, he's going to bring about ethnic purges" and every wignat I see is like "Shut up! He's not going to do that! He's not cool enough!"
The one I heard that made me smile the most is if Trump makes Ron Paul the chairman of the Fed.
They could make LED bulbs last forever basically tomorrow, and they'd be a lot more efficient too. It's a real shame achievable stuff like that never gets pushed and instead they push for moonshots.
One person on the right I used to be mutuals with saw me saying "Oh yes, the orthodox Jewish vote, just like Hitler got!" and got offended, probably because of Poe's law.
But the fact that many of the supposedly offended minority votes moved Red in record numbers should tell us that the fundamental message is universal.

People are scared about how they'll keep having food and shelter and the dems were calling it "brat summer" and hoping for a "vibes election".
This was a Marie Antoinette election.
Hopefully this election helps humble the Democrats somewhat so they can nail their feet to the floor and start running campaigns in the real world again. Blowouts like last week aren't ultimately good for the people in general.

The scary thing is that antidepressants are like a volume knob for your emotions, you can turn it all down.
I always liken them to taking morphine to stop the pain of a broken leg. The thing is, even if you kill the pain you can't keep walking on that leg or it's going to get further damage done to it.
If the drug companies had their way, they'd want us all walking on two broken legs popping morphine to kill the pain, and broken inside popping anti-depressants so we stop thinking about how much it hurts in our hearts.

Maybe on January 6th they should go down to the congress building and peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard?
One thing that really became obvious to me this election is how much of the democratic platform assumes that everyone is a stereotype.
The Democrats assumed that every Latino loves illegal immigration when Latinos who can vote are citizens who went through the process legally. Similarly, the Democrats obviously assumed that the only thing that women want in life is to abort babies, and while I'm sure that is a factor in many women's decisions to vote, the fact that people aren't able to afford food shelter heat and transportation at the same time is universal. Who cares if you can get abortions if you're going to be living under a bridge down by the river picking through garbage for half eaten Big Macs?

My short term economic outlook hasn't really changed due to the election. I still see a big recession because ever since 2020 the world economy has been living on borrowed time and that time is running out. The only thing that's likely to change is the partisan establishment media is actually going to start reporting the truth about how bad things are for the man on the ground instead of lying and saying how great things are.
Trump changes the outlook a few years down the line, and some changes such as reduced regulation will definitely help and if he follows through on massively cutting government spending and staffing it has the capacity to change everything a couple years from now, but recession in 2025 was written in March 2020, and the working man has been feeling it already for years (since the CPLie isn't telling us what the actual increase in cost of living is).

Interestingly, I've thought about it often that my son is part of a generation with overwhelmingly less advertising aimed at it than any generation for 100 years... depending on how their parents set things up.
Streaming subscriptions and youtube premium and stuff like spotify means where many generations heard ads on the radio or saw them on TV, some kids don't see ads there. Adblock means they might not see them on the web for the most part. And you can avoid ad reads in youtube videos by just not watching those channels.
I'm not sure what the outcome will be. I'm sort of worried that a mind that hasn't seen advertising might be particularly susceptible to it.

You know, you have to respect someone being willing to say the truth for a minute even if it probably is much ado about nothing.
Sometimes people say to me "You should start a blog!"
Let me tell you how running a blog works: You write something, and then a bunch of russian bots come in trying to sell shit on your website. It's boring. I'd much rather interact with people here on the fediverse, occasionally popping out a big effortpost.

The reason we don't have elephant sized beetles running around and causing apocalypse on earth is the laws of physics limit the size bugs can be. A creature can try to be larger than that, but it starts to run up against things that mean it becomes less survivable. A giant cow sized insect would be mostly exoskeleton and so there's so little room for internal organs and the like that it wouldn't be able to survive, let alone move under its own power.
I've always thought that global megacorps are the same -- they can only exist because we've created artificial conditions, such as a false oxygen concentration via central banking, and false low gravity through separating shareholders from liability for the actions of companies, or giving them additional powers they ought not to have through corporate personhood. We've helped these giant insects survive as well through an artificial circulatory system by having the largest military in human history keeping most trade routes safe so companies don't need to (at taxpayer expense, of course). Remove just a few artificial supports, and like a cow shaped beetle, the global megacorp becomes too cumbersome to move, with too much armor to contain anything of substance.

The worst part is, they had to fabricate Trump's platform to even have anything there. "I'm going to leave it to the states and I don't support a national abortion ban and won't sign one" isn't something you can rile up people over, so they have to keep saying he's going to do stuff he said he's not going to do because they have to run against the imaginary person they wish they were running against.
I feel like that was the entire campaign, the Democrats trying to tell Trump what his platform was, and Trump running on a completely different platform.
