[Captain Wisconsin 🌊 🦡 🧀 @CaptWisconsin]

I'm my backwater Wisconsin town, voters approved tax increases and funding for a huge new school project referendum while also voting en masse for the guy who wants to eliminate the Department of Education.

People really don't have a clue, do they?

[Alfons López Tena 🦇 @alfonslopeztena]

Trump won because he offered a majority of Americans what they wanted: a nonstop reality show of rage, resentment and social revenge. But those who expect that he will hurt others, not them, are likely to be unpleasantly surprised

The Biden-Harris economy has been booming these past few years. The entire media (including your “friends” at MSNBC) spent the entire time lying and pretending the economy was bad. If you’re not at least partly blaming the media for this 2024 debacle, you’re not paying attention.

@FPWellman @penguin_runaway Stephen Miller said he wants to "denaturalize" legal immigrants. Ppl who came here through the proper channels, filled out the paperwork, took an oath to the Constitution as a new citizen of the US. Miller wants to deport them bc to him, they're subhuman vermin who need to die.

[Geri K @GeriKay301]

@FPWellman @penguin_runaway During the Great Depression, 1930-1933, Herbert Hoover deported 1.8 million immigrants to Mexico “because they were taking American jobs.”

60% of those deported were American citizens.

If you are an American citizen, always carry your papers with you.

I disagree. They know the deal. You see the “bad” ones aren’t in any government database. They are hard to find. Trump is going to want results fast from the agencies. They will open up the data and find a list of the good folks who applied for asylum and had the faith to check in and show up for hearings. It will the be ones that applied for legal status and are waiting. It will be the DACA kids who have dutifully followed the process. Then Trump and Miller can announce gleefully how they found a million bad people and deported them in their first six months. Understand how autocrats work.

[Fred Wellman @FPWellman]

The thing about leopards is eventually they will eat you too.

Your favorite local restaurant closing because the nice family who owns it getting deported. You thought they were some of the “good ones.” The price of produce skyrocketing even before the camps are built as immigrants flee. Your daughter dying of sepsis because the lawyers feel it’s too risky to perform that D&C.

No more FAFSA for your kids college because you didn’t know that was part of the Department of Education. Veterans having their benefits cut because they rolled back the PACT Act as too expensive. That factory in town that was going to build chips and employ your kids never breaking ground because of the repeal of the CHIPs act. The bridge that was going to cut your commute in half being canceled because of the repeal of the Infrastructure Act.

That sweet government job that you’ve loved because you can work 8 hours a day and fish on the weekends has been slated for a MAGA Schedule F slot because it controls funding for contracts that will go to Republican donors, so you’re fired without cause or any union protections.

You’ll blame Biden or the local Democrats probably. But it will be fine because Elon promised it would be uncomfortable at first but it will get better. You were just so sure it would be uncomfortable for…you know…”those people.” Not you.

But that’s leopards for you. They eat whatever is available.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Objectively the best economy in the world.

Best stock market in history.

Strongest NATO alliance in history.

And we just voted to give the guy who broke it all last time two more Supreme Court justices.

Unfuckingbelievable.

[Prez @PrezLives2022]

Now that the election is over Steve Bannon admits that Project 2025 is on the agenda… for all of you who said it was not, I do hope you enjoy every piece of that.

[Randi White @RandiWhite]

“Democrats don’t focus on working class Bahahabsjfkr”

Except every labor union endorsed Dems. They got raises BECAUSE of Biden and the Dems.

Will use EVERY EXCUSE except racism and misogyny to say why this is happening.

[Ricky Davila @TheRickyDavila]

As a Puerto Rican, a big fuck you to all Latinos/Latinas who voted for a racist pendejo who only wants to see us all of us dead and or deported. Que te pudras en el infierno en el que nos has puesto a todos hoy.

[Leia @TheSWPrincess]

@cwebbonline And do they realize that a federal abortion ban would override state abortion protection laws???

[Maj. (Ret.) Richard Ojeda @Ojeda4America]

The next president stole 126 boxes of classified documents and it didn’t matter. Everyone else who has ever stolen a page and was caught went to prison.

[Ash Ely @GravenAshes]

American democracy died tonight there’s no two ways about it. We were given a very clear, easy choice at the polls and the majority of people in this country chose bigotry, hatred and misogyny. I hope those of you that voted for him are not one of his victims. This is us

[ElizabethWingfield 🟧⚖️🦅🇺🇸 @QuirkyGrrrl]

Between the Lines this means if you are BROWN you will bneed to carry your papers with you all the time. No matter how long you have been legal here. If you look the part, they can detain you, even if you were born here.

[Tommy Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

[Joe Perticone @JoePerticone]

The 118th Congress was among the least productive in recent history. Members knifed each other and needed Dems to accomplish every must-pass vote. Americans saw this chaos, dysfunction, and impotence in the House and decided they wanted more. https://t.co/lANzCmdRPk

[Eric Garland @ericgarland]

2016's presidential election was stolen as well, but it's very complicated. Even Hillary and Trump were surprised. It was supposed to follow a very specific script--but somebody conned the conmen at the last minute.
