This question is a reference to these lemmy users who were insulting all russians in the “expulsion of russian maintainers” thread because according to them the majority back putin.
Do you apply this same logic to Gaza considering their leadership?
The last election in Gaza happened before a large part of its current population was even born, they never had a choice presented to them.
You can ask the same to the terrorist simps about Israel.
No one deserves to be insulted for their nationality.
I wasn’t in that thread, but that’s not an appropriate way for folks to treat eachother
Also, Americans are grieving what may be legitimately the end of vital freedoms, the end of safety for many minority populations, which many of my loved ones belong to, potentially the end of free elections, and an independent court.
It also may mean the complete derailment of any global climate policies as the US steps back from climate commitments, which may prompt other super powers to do the same. That is not a good thing.
Some space to grieve would be welcome. If you live in Russia you have my love and my condolences, I’m sure you have been living with anxieties about your interests not being represented for a long time.
The Americans grieving the end of their democracy are an overwhelming minority.
Trump won the popular vote and about 100 million Americans didn’t even vote. The majority of Americans deserve to be called fascist since they allow one to rule them.Yep. Thats true. Its also likely not as true for the population that is here.
I did not vote for a fascist. I did vote. I am an American. And I am not a fascist.
I guess all that comes next is learning how to protest. I’ve never been to one before due to social anxiety and my sleep disorder. I guess now is the time to learn how to participate in one.
We’re self deprecating here in the states at this point. You’re welcome to join in.
Apparently a majority of this country has no empathy and thinks things are bad in some ways so might as well make them a lot worse.
As an American that voted for Harris, yes, we deserve it.
Yes.
Absolutely
American here, endorsing “yes”
Same. The vast majority of us are idiots.
Wait, what am I missing? I thought the elections were not entirely decided yet. Could someone fill me in?
Trump won…
And the party behind him has a Senate majority, and may still achieve a house majority.
And have presidential immunity.
Basically, there’s not enough remaining votes to realistically flip any of the swing states. So if they’re at 80% reporting with 52% going to trump, the remaining 20% would have to be like 80% Harris, which is unlikely. So they’ve called the election.
Thanks. I never expected this to happen, I thought people would understand what that would mean. I wish Americans good luck in the upcoming years.
and rest od the world. especially Europe where far right get all the knowhow of US conservatives, funding from US fondations, go with US conservatives agenda, and will now rise their ugly heads even more. it’s not only the Americans.
All americans would be wrong. Generalising, since a majority of votes were pro Trump? - Sure
Just don’t forget what you do with minorities if you generalise.
I don’t even care anymore
Insult all americans? No. But those nazis who voted for tromp, that world be totally okay.
Honestly, this is sickening and i feel pity for the decent people of the usa. They don’t deserve a fascist felon in the white house.
Always has been
Yes please. I’m in fucking shock
After electing Bush II twice? It never was.
It’s not ok to insult anyone. Why do you feel the need to do so, and why are you asking for permission?
I’m not looking to insult anybody for their nationality, see this thread https://feddit.nl/post/22918080
Majority of United States citizens are now verifiably fascist
Correction, about 20-25 precent are. He’s only got 71 million votes so far in a county of Oct 300 million. Half are just too lazy to fucking do anything about it, even turn out to vote.
Then they should be lumped in the with ones that did vote for him. Is someone is apathetic enough to not even engage in the process, they don’t get to avoid the insults, as far as I’m concerned.
Fair
When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
I’ve been learning about the history of the Civil War. Progressive politics in America are the exception not the rule, hundreds of thousands of Americans died because they wanted to own other human beings as property.
Alternatively, hundreds of thousands of Americans died because they thought owning other human beings was morally wrong.
Silver lining I guess. But it was more to save the preservation of the Union, there were still slave states in the Union during the Civil War. And non-blacks still thought they were superior to blacks even if they didn’t believe in slavery, and that was the majority opinion long after the Civil war too.
dont worry. Soon you will be able to do it again.
