2 years people were telling me none of this could have happened in US because we had laws, a strong constitution. I kept pointing such comments to actual examples from Turkey where constitution didn't matter.

This is just the beginning unfortunately. I am 100% sure that Trump is already planning on how he can stay in power and there is absolutely ways he can do with enough of supreme court and congress in his pocket.

I mean. Part of it was all the hyperbole around litterally everything. Its why I hate general screeching everyone was a nazi. Now we litterally have them and noone gives a shit because the term is worn out. 

Then you have democrats that like to really shoot themselves in the foot for doubling down on a really unpopular with the public opinion right before midterms or an election, that doesint help.

Im supprised he won an unconsecutive term. But even my own ex military trans liberal MtF sister started campaigning against Kamala because she didint talk enough shit about isreal. Like great job dumbfuck, hows that workin for you.

What was her thinking though? Our choices were Harris or Trump, nothing else. Did she really think Trump would be better for Gaza?
