Analysis: "Insurrectionists Are Lining Up for the Pardons Trump Has Promised to Dispense. Chances look good."

"More than 1,500 people charged with or convicted of crimes related to the January 6, 2021, attack on Congress are now presumably hoping to win pardons & commutations that the now president-elect has repeatedly, if vaguely, promised to give many of them."

#Expats how did you get out of the US?

Asking for myself. I'm worried we'll be pariahs wherever we go because our fellow countrymen voted in orange Hitler.

What are the options? I'm researching now. The soonest we can leave is roughly a year from now.

#Advice welcomed. (Unless it's "advice" that I stay here or something about being a snowflake, because that's an instant block.)

I just want to know, in practical terms, what the path out is and what others have had experience with in terms of getting out.

#uspol Trump has got away with rape, selling confidential information, insurrection, election interference, using his office for personal profit and who knows what else. I can't imagine what any Generals can have to say that will sway his cult followers.🤷‍♀️

Anyone else having issues tuning back into news/news comedy after election day?

Tried NPR, nope. John Stewart's "we've been here before" landed flat. Even tried to watch Seth Meyers' take, and I couldn't make it in 2 minutes, as soon as he started playing Cheetoh clips.

I don't feel like the past approaches work. I can't go back to "this is normal, it's funny, it's just politics as usual" after this. Feels like the calm before meteor impact.

The #Fed has satisfied its dual mandate of keeping #inflation & #unemployment low.

But the arrival at that finish line now coincides w/ #Trump’s promise to enact an entirely new #fiscal & #economic regime. While analysts are uncertain about how exactly that could materialize & how severe it might be, #markets have responded by selling off #bonds in anticipation of a return to inflation from a combo of Trump’s pro-*growth* & #combative #trade policies.

Fed cuts key interest rate a quarter point but signals ongoing concerns about inflation

The Federal Reserve announced Thursday it was lowering its key interest rate by a quarter point — a widely expected move that coincides with inflation approaching the central bank's 2% goal.

All, I can’t tell you that it’s more important than ever right now to support the Observer and other local journalism. I mean, I’d thought Kamala Harris would win a narrow victory and that Trump wouldn’t do a whole lot better in Texas than he did in 2020. In other words, for the moment, I’m out of both the prediction game and the game of even just making confident statements. All I can say is that Trump’s explicit plan is to hurt specific people — undocumented immigrants spring first to mind, but they are one of many groups — and many of these people live in Texas. And that the Observer intends to be here, on the ground, exposing these harms as they play out. We did it last time, we plan to do it again, I suppose I can also say that investigative journalism, the bulk of what we do, isn’t terribly contingent on politics. Whoever’s in charge, they want to hide things; we dig, and we publish.

Everyone who chose to not vote for Harris should read or reread The Jungle to get a clear sense of the past that will become our literal future over the next four years.

All while Trump urges Netanyahu to be more aggressive in Gaza, and to do the same in the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, and, inevitably, Iran.

Great job y'all. Fantastic 👏🏿

I hope you'll be happy with the grave new world you've helped to create.

It's time for charities and for-good organisations to ditch X - a platform which helped grow and fund the Trump campaign - and move to alternatives where they aren't at the mercy of a single persons politics.

As a start, we're excited to be featured as an organisation which can help in this @BylineTimes article

There's a lot of hard work to be done, but we like hard work. Hard work is good work.

I've seen several posts about strengthening the Democrats' media presence. Chipping away at the conservative monopoly on A.M. radio would be a good start. It's not glamorous, but R's listen to it. If you want to reach them where they are, A.M. radio is it.

The void didn't give me the strength and cringe to still be on a high horse screaming at people against the Palestinian genocide after their candidate comprehensively lost the election by appealing to the genocide vote. #USPol #Genocide #Palestine
#uspol #genocide #palestine

Insofar as it is practical to blame people for being uninformed due to corpo media, it is for a long time very infuriating to note that none of the shitlib comedians from Colbert, to Stewart, to the sometimes lefty Oliver, talked about Palestine genocide directly and how it was losing the Democrats enough of their voting base to tank the election.

They ignored it because it was easier to make fun of Trump, rather than taking a good long look at what their candidate was doing to her own electoral base. #USPol #Media

Harris supporters displayed a ton of self-righteousness during the US presidential campaign. Annoyed me, a natural ally. Can only imagine how much it pissed off the average apathetic voter and don't see a lot of discussion around US turnout falling from 2020.

There's a lesson there for combatting Australia's own Trumpian forces come next year's federal election. Less lecturing and assumed victory, more open discussion and willingness to listen, to engage the disengaged and hopefully bring them along.

A huge advantage of being a small and irrelevant world power is we can watch and learn, as we did with our electoral system, then adapt far faster than the larger powers stuck in their inexorable trajectories. That could be very useful in this context.

Look at the numbers. 2020 vs 2024.
Yes, they are still coming in....

But basically the same as 2020 for Trump. Maybe lower.

Trump DID NOT GAIN VOTERS.

Dems LOST VOTERS.

Why?

Alienation of the left wing.

TRUMP WON MICHIGAN.

Why?

One day, maybe not too long from today, historians will write about the demise of the American Experiment. And featuring large in that narrative will be legacy #media including #NYT, #WaPo, #LATimes and others, who - at our time of greatest national peril, abdicated their responsibility of truth telling and holding power to account.
The obituary for the US will begin: "Democracy Died In Darkness"

To those who voted for chump over Harris (and or not at all) because of Gaza (I remember this being a theme of sorts here on Mastodon for certain people), you're beyond ignorant. The truth is there is nothing that Biden or Harris could've done in regards to the conflict. The only action that could've been taken is sending the US military (to occupy Gaza) in to get between the two sides. A act that would be seen as a sign of aggression, which is exactly what it would be.

this, from jason hickel, says it all.
#uspol #politics #jasonhickel #trump #liberalism
from a post by professor jason hickel: 'and because liberalism cannot address our crises, and because it crushes socialist alternatives, it inevitably paves the way for right-wing populism.  they know this pattern, and yet they risk it every time - this election being only the most recent example. they did it in 2016, when they actively crushed the sanders campaign and sent trump to the White House. they do it because ultimately they (and I mean the liberal ruling class here) don't really mind if fascists take power, so long as the latter too ensure the conditions for capital accumulation. they 100% prefer this to the possibility of a socialist alternative.'

#JonathanCook | It's time to stop buying into tooth-fairy #politics. No one's bringing salvation

Harris "lost because, if your political and media system – rigged by donors – limits the choice to two hardline neoliberal candidates, with anything else denounced as “communism”, the most hardline, neoliberal candidate has an edge."

Trump or Harris, a further slide towards authoritarianism and repression was on the cards. A corrupt, failed system won't admit its mistakes. It will find scapegoats.
