Summary

“It’s simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago,” said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.

Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.

Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.

Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

    Remember, idiots like Cuttlefish will be pointing at the front door of the house right now and saying “everything looks fine, assholes!”.

    They’ll do that to purposefully ignore the fact that actual transition isn’t until late January. Furthermore, these people won’t kick down the front door this time. They are going to be behind the house, filling the crawlspace with fertilizer and gasoline. While they are doing that, they’ll count on Cuttlefish, among an army of useless dipshit, to claim “incredulous!!! All is well” to try to distract you into doubt. While you’re fully preoccupied, they’ll kick in the BACK door. And light a match.

    Make no mistake though. We’re all fucked, our kids, grandkids and their kids are also fucked. Cuttlefish is also fucked, they are just too stupid to realize it yet. But know that anything you are telling yourself right now, focusing on how it can’t get THAT bad, that’s what you’d naturally tell yourself for comfort. That’s fine, its human, but it’s not true.

    We are well and truly fucked, American democracy has failed. The laws aren’t real, the courts aren’t real, there is no effective policing between the three branches. It is over. That’s hard and it’s true.

    Keep an eye on the news, its version of cuttlefish’s cowardly compliance will be the old “is trump being presidential?” narrative. Remember, he’s only the dipshit at the front door, the actual trouble is happening quietly, and at the foundation of your home right now.

    Cuttlefish, there’s a poem commonly called “first they came for…” it’s short, go memorize it, say it over and over in your head to distract while you’re watching them rape your sister in a camp. And then they turn to you, with guns pointed, say you’re gay and they’ll shoot you in the head if you don’t take your turn with your sister next.
