Predictions for 2028:

There won’t be another election or st least not one that is free and fair

The incumbent will run again and win in a Putin style “landslide”

[Campbell @cdav70]

Er. As I was saying. They will learn the hard way but I think they’re done. Time for the grown ups in the west to be planning for a future without them

Trump and his people have exhibited no interest in the legally required transition process. I suspect it's for two reasons:

1) As of 2019, they have to sign certain ethics pledges, AND reveal all conflicts of interest. I don't think they want to do that.

But also...

1/6

Trump seeks to build a government of coercion and above all control. He'll tame the generals first because repression requires a compliant military. He'll seek to remove political critics, intelligentsia, free-thinking academics. All this will take time and he'll....

"Won't somebody think of the millionaires?!"
As much as I love Clarkson's Farm, telling everyone you've found a tax loophole by buying up farm land (which incidentally drives up agri land prices, locking out new farmers) & then protesting when that loophole is closed, is silly. Most of my farmers are tenants, not owners sweating assets.

By some distance the finest commentary I've read in the aftermath of the US election. Magnificent. https://t.co/wRGgoKBKCp

An asset #Russia cultivated for 40 years elected President of the United States.

Most successful intel operation in history.

Enabled by millions of Americans.

Dark times coming.

Here’s a thread that will cheer us up. Or not.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

I’ll be writing on the election soon, but a few thoughts. Beyond the tactical, the resounding result is more evidence that far-right success follows far-left overreach. The media normalized Trump, but also downplayed how strongly many Americans disliked leftist agitation. 1/7

[Julie Roginsky @julieroginsky]

Kind of like Germany worked with the UK to end the war in the Sudetenland.

[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.

At least I get to unfollow all these
US pundits and “experts” promising a blue wave and to relax about because “we’ve got this”. Utter frauds.
