I don't think Democrats and their allies appreciate the damage these sorts of takes are doing to them with Latinos

[Julia Ioffe @juliaioffe]

If the situation were reversed, you know there would be no wind-down and that Dems would keep the special counsel in place just to show that they’re not going to meddle in an ongoing investigation. 🤦🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/rEwJoekabs

Opinion | I’m sick and tired of politics. So I voted for the guy who will make our lives nothing but politics for the next four years.

[Tom 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.

One of Trump's clearest "accomplishments" is how thoroughly he's desensitized America to behavior that, in another era, voters would have deemed disqualifying. Plenty of blame to go around—media, craven GOP pols, blundering Dems—but this may be one of his most enduring legacies.

Harris's campaign was good, broadly very good. Not perfect, but what is? It failed because it operated under the same assumptions that most professionals had -- that the electorate couldn't change so drastically in four years. But it did.

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

Just interviewed RFK Jr., who said he spent two days last week with Trump and, now that the election is won, RFK repeats that the new administration will recommend getting flouride out of drinking water on Jan. 20. Adds the administration will give "information" on vaccines.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

all the votes haven't been counted yet but it appears polls in fact underestimated Donald Trump's support for the third straight cycle

[Arlen Parsa @arlenparsa]

I am skeptical any candidate other than the Holy Ghost of FDR himself who could win their party’s re-election with these numbers

In elections it doesn’t matter how good or bad the economy actually is. What matters is vibes.

[Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior]

It is more important to look at why Trump was allowed to run, after committing sedition and a number of other crimes to which he confessed, than why he was able to win.

[Finchelstein @FinchelsteinF]

This is not the time for unicausal explanations or blame assignment. Trump won because of many reasons including propaganda, demonization, racism, militarization of politics & lack of justice regarding his coup attempt. Legality is central to democracy & it was blatantly ignored

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect.  All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

So far (and this number will change)…

16.2 million people who voted for Joe Biden DID NOT vote for Kamala Harris.

16.2 million.
