This is probably a good time to remind people of a few helpful things:

1) Please use hashtags like
#USPol
#USPolitics
so people can filter posts appropriately, especially those who are coming to the Fediverse for some kind of escape or relief. (Also proper capitalization is more readable by a screen reader.)

2) For newer people, please don't put an asterisk in words (e.g., Tr*mp) because then people's filters won't filter out the post.

3) We can also be using the Content Warning (CW) feature more as well, to give people warnings on triggering topics. (Newer members: that's one of the options when you create a post. You can put a descriptive line of your post and then people can choose to open your post or not.)

I know I could use some improvement on that end as well and I'll work on that.

4) If you are on the receiving end, please know that you can also add filters for words in your settings, even creating an entire "Politics" grouping of words that will either hide posts or completely leave them off your timeline, whichever you prefer.

Thank you all for considering my request.

Sometimes the forecasted storms uneventfully pass by, in which case you're left with a little extra food on hand, some jugs of water for the next storm, and some cozy blankets to snuggle up in.

Anyway, this has been a message to those choosing to mock people who are taking steps to prepare for a Trump presidency. 2/3

#USpolitics #USpol

My whole life, I've lived in New England: the land of blizzards and ice storms. When there's a storm on the forecast, we prepare. Stock up on bottled water and nonperishables, refill prescriptions that are running low, charge the flashlights and electronic devices, have a stack of blankets on hand, make sure there's fuel in the car and (if you're lucky) generator, restack the indoor wood pile. 1/3

Analysis: Many non-college-educated men preferred Trump to Harris by a 24 points margin.

The "idealization of a strong, fearless father figure is exactly what this population longs for".

There is vicarious pleasure in seeing the society that disempowered them being disempowered by him.

The illusion is that "through this idealization, everything that escaped them in the past has become within reach."

So, the Republicans now control both Houses of Congress & the Presidency of the USA; US voters (those who voted) have delivered a clear mandate to Trump & his party.

There's been a lot of speculation about what comes next, but anyone who thinks Trump & hs followers will moderate their views on attaining such untrammelled power really hasn't being paying attention.

He's repeatedly told us what he wants to do, and now know what got in his way last time.... He'll be wasting no time.

I ams are they are hoping but whether Trump’s useful fools can expect any loyalty from a man who clearly has little to anyone I wonder. After all someone might do the same to him.

This horrifically and vindictively cruel #genocide in plain site is why liberals everywhere are in retreat. If liberals won't even acknowledge a racist genocide, much less stop being accomplices to one, what good are they? If they don't have this one core value, that genocide is always wrong, they don't really have any values.

Just noticed another email from the Justice Democrats. Is it about Trump's fascist plans to destroy democracy?

Nah, why bother with that when you can instead attack Democrats for (checks notes) not throwing our ally, Israel, under the bus.
