@WajahatAli Disagree. This is worse. Because people know exactly what they were voting for and said “yup, sign me up.”

[Wendell Pierce @WendellPierce]

Elections have consequences. The Supreme Court will be changed for a generation. I’ll never see a moderate court again in my lifetime. Alito and Thomas will step down and Trump will appoint 40 year old partisans to the bench. The damage he is about to inflict on our institutions the next 2 years will be irreparable.

Russia again attacked a US election.

To help Trump.

This should be a big deal.

Tonight’s nail biter election is why children and women don’t report being raped. “Good people” everywhere are willing to overlook rape if it’s done by a rich powerful white man. F*cking disgusting. Whether Trump wins or loses this is an indictment of the very soul of our Nation.

And this is why you actually prosecute ALL the crimes -- swiftly and thoroughly -- no matter who the criminal is.

Trump will trash the American government and rule of law, likely the economy, maybe vaccine progress, maybe the press, Ukraine and maybe Taiwan and Palestinians, and probably democracy and the Constitution. We’ll find out, but that could only be a start.

[Bruce Arthur @bruce_arthur]

Information systems are broken, inflation is toxic even with wage growth, rural voters are spiralling into a different world, and men are in increasingly bad place. And the damage will be profound

Thoughts and prayers, America

[Max Fisher @Max_Fisher]

The idea that there was some Messaging or campaign adjustment that could've averted this is, sorry, cope wishcasting denying that >half the country very much sought out and wants far-right strongman rule

@digby56 @radiofreetom Making it even worse, Trump inherited a good economy from Obama, took credit for it, then drove it into the ground during covid, and shrugged off all blame for that (w/media's help), then Biden dug us out of his catastrophe, and now Trump will take credit for *that*

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

If Trump wins, there will be efforts to blame Russian interference or the Harris campaign or Biden, etc. That's all fair. But we need to be clear eyed that a huge swath of America likes what Trump is selling. Transphobia. Mass deportation. That's what he ran on. And here we are.

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

Reminder that Trump would just be an angry retiree shouting at the TV right now had Mitch McConnell decided to do the right thing after 1/6.

Amazing.

Some good news! Congratulations to the Vindman family on this big win. 🇺🇸 @natsechobbyist

...and yes, you all are right, I obviously should have included racism and misogyny in that list of causes

[Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur]

The story of the Texas Senate race: Ted Cruz won Latino voters by 6 points, per NBC News exit polls. In his last race in 2018, Cruz *lost* Latinos by 29 points.

A 35-point swing.

Mea culpa: I was way too complacent about Trump's political strength/durability. I really believed his appeal would largely be limited to MAGA, particularly after 1/6, his numerous serious crimes, a year of campaigning on overt authoritarian threats, and (especially) the Biden pro-labor/industrial policy agenda. Whether it's the trauma of covid and its aftermath, or something systemic about Dems on economy/immigration/cultural issues, or the info environment's inability to handle the Trump/MAGA disinfo challenge, or some combination of all those things, whatever happens in this election, it's pretty clear that this confidence was badly misplaced. If he wins, as now looks likely, it's gonna get ugly, I fear.

[Michael Caley @MC_of_A]

the main takeaway from this election should be "inflation is utter poison for social democracy" and we can see a dozen parallels right now across the developed world

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Looks like I overestimated the American people.

This election isn’t over, but this should have been the biggest electoral landslide in history.

It’s like people are actively voting for America to fail.
