20-20 hindsight is better than nothing I guess, unless you get it when you're looking up at the rapidly receding cliff.
Americans have taken WAY too long to figure out Trump is a con man playing them. Very special insight.

Lots of great voter outreach in the comments here! Keep telling them they deserve to see the genocide of their people! If you alienate them enough, they'll definitely vote for you next time!
Edit: I wanted to thank everyone for all the great ideas for Muslim outreach in future elections! I can tell by the downvotes that not all of you liked what I had to say, but if I learned one thing from the Harris campaign, it's that you can't care what a community thinks of you, no matter how many votes it costs you!
Yes that's right! Be nice to the idiots who vote against their own interests because hurting their feefees is why this happened in the first place!

MLK was right about liberals. You lot are the biggest threat to justice.
Hmmm, let's inspect this sample.
Bland name calling, unimaginative reasoning, blind anger and content absolutely and WILDLY straying from the subject of the article.
You sure, may be a tankie

Good luck getting justice with Matt Gaetz as attourney general and an imperial presidency intent on reversing everything the civil rights movement ever achieved.
Of course in the liberal worldview the only political action is voting and so now that voting is over you go after people who didn't vote or voted wrong and wait four more years until you can (hopefully) vote again.
Instead of retreating with your tail between your legs and waiting for another chance to vote join up with those that are taking direct action through protest and political pressure and fucking riots and strikes.
If more of you joined the anti-genocide voices instead of chanting "vote blue no matter who" your party wouldn't be the milquetoast status-quo-upholding pro-genocide garbage party it is today.
You can punch left or you can stand with the left and build up the power to punch back.

They should've voted for democrats, who also love genocide. Seriously, the only "leopards ate my face" I see are democrats insisting on supporting genocide and then predictably losing support from voters. These voters were just desperate for any possibility of change, no matter how slim. This is understandable when the change they were hoping for was to not have a president that supported genocide. This doesn't deserve mockery, no matter how misguided.
Thanks to you and people like you the genocide will increase and even speed up and spread out
How? I voted for Harris. It was the democrats who supported genocide and then lost against a clown for the second time.

LOL! They voted for Jill Stein!
People be voting like they're in a ranked choice or proportional representation system & not in a 2 party FPTP system?! Those that previously voted Dems can't just be voting for a 3rd party and not realise that they're effectively handing the win to Trump!? Maaaybe do a 'protest' or 'teach a lesson' at some time when there's NOT a wannabe dictator leading the other party?! Just a thought…
You can tell em til you're blue in the face but only after they see it themselves does the light come on.
