I was recently on a flight from Dublin to Boston, and it was very turbulent. The captain asked the flight crew over the loudspeaker to please take their seats and strap in - it was quite bumpy. This went on for a couple of hours, and the middle-class, middle-aged American couple immediately to my left would NOT stop bitching about the fact that no one was bringing them drinks and snacks. And I thought - wow. You are so privileged to be able to travel, to be able to fly in a plane - and the safety of others is of less concern to you than your need for Diet Coke and Sun Chips? Are you fucking INSANE? It was then I realized two things - 1. Trump was going to win the election and 2. We fucking deserve the world's enmity. My fellow Americans, by and large, suck. Just the worst.

TL;DR The fears spreading online from the election are exhausting.

A few months ago, I realized how liberal a platform Reddit is (not saying anything is wrong with that). I told a friend who isn't on social media that Kamala was going to win because that's all you see on Reddit. He said, 'I promise you, she's not going to win.' Now, since the election, almost everyone's mind is blown, but you've set yourself up, I suppose.

I noticed how lots of conservative opinions get downvoted, banned, removed, etc. I've even read that many left-wing propaganda posts were bots. So now, people are left confused over this leftist bubble created here.I'd like to point out that I'm neither Republican nor Democrat but more of a slight right-leaning Libertarian, atheist, and pro-choice, not pro-abortion.

I think a big part of what started the fear-mongering was false claims about Project 2025. I downloaded it months ago and can tell you it hardly contains any of the things people think it does.For example, ending no-fault divorce, nationwide abortion bans, and nationwide contraceptive bans are just a few things people think are on there but aren't. I ask people all the time to give me a page number where these claims can be found, but no one can ever provide one. One girl even told me she could give me the page that says they want to end no fault divorce, but she's not going to, because I won't read it anyway. WHAT?? lol.

I've seen posts claiming immigrants will be deported, even if here legally, public execution of gays, deportation of gays, etc. People are not talking to family due to election results, breaking up with significant others, pushing people to buy condoms and contraceptives because they won't be available in January, and LGBTQ individuals are saying people need to go into hiding.I'd like to remind you that every US president deports illegal immigrants, and Obama deported more than Trump did.

Do people not understand how US laws or the Constitution work? Or how long things take to change? Do these people even research the process of how the things they fear work? This post is venting about how exhausting the mass hysteria, mainly online, has become. I'll be taking a break and looking forward to when Trump is out of office so people can move on.

Here's a message I saw earlier:

If you voted Democrat and are feeling the election result is truly horrifying, do this one simple thing for your mental health:

Write down your fears of what might happen in the next four years on paper.

Re-read and check in on them every few months.

It will be a constant source of relief when you see your fears won't come true.

Then ask why you had those fears and how to prevent them next time.

Edit: I’ve had several people message me saying they couldn’t reply to the post. They liked and agreed with the post. I’ve had close to 2k views on it already, but conveniently, no comments. This proves my point perfectly. Look at the other posts on this sub, the badmouthing, cursing, and being irate… But mine, very calm and pretty neutral, gets the comments locked immediately. At least they allowed the post I suppose. I’ve tried about 5 or 6 different subs so far, and they didn’t allow it… the echo chamber is real folks.

Scars tells stories, especially obvious self harm, they tell stories deeper than your therapist can help you explain.

It is nobody's fault expect your own. I'm tired of hearing, "well if this person was different" and blah to the fucking blah.

If I see self harm scars, I instantly write that person off as un\irresponsble. I've lived a long enough life to say I have literally never met anyone take responsibility, so it's safe to say the next stranger won't.

I get it, uncle Greg touched your peepee... But he didn't hand you a knife or start cutting you. You people take negative emotions and make your personal decisions to destroy things, you chose to destroy those things, nobody else. Quit blaming other people and find a positive decision to make changes.

But you people take that mentality with you in every aspect of your life. At work, in the bed, in class, everywhere. It's instantly someone else's fault for anything. Your fries are cold because you talk to much, but no it's my fault because I bought the wrong shape to hold heat. We're late to the party because we had to turn around 3 times because you forgot something at the house, no that's my fault because I didn't drive faster.

I cannot stand that the average Trump supporter cannot grasp the concept that it takes time for an unhealthy economy to recover and that it doesn't happen over night and that when it does, something has gone very wrong. Obama spent 8 years cleaning up the mess that was Bush's presidency from two failed wars and a crashed economy from deregulating the banking industry. Trump inherits it despite losing the popular vote. He runs up record deficits after the Obama administration. Economy crashes due to Covid, but Trump made it even worse with his mishandling of the situation. Biden's administration pulls off a soft landing not thought to be possible by most experts. Trump now inherits that because people don't understand that inflation going down does not mean prices outside of gas will not go back down to what they were. They don't understand the concept of a derivative and it's fucking infuriating that they can't take one second to think critically about this and that we get Trump as president because of it.

I live in a loft apt and my neighbor behind me watches TV with a loud subwoofer consistently on the weekends and the apt rules say no noise from 10pm to 10am. I know that's just part of living in an apartment but I feel like I go insane everytime I hear that loud ass subwoofer. AND I've tried telling the apartment managers but they needed video proof of the noise which phones can't pick up as well. I'm just so pissed off at this one guy. Right now he's been watching shit since 8:30am and it woke me up and I can't have any peace.

In the past day, I've seen well over 5 posts(I'm sure there's a lot more I didn't see, but dont need to read the same thing that many times), screaming about how they hate the constituents for Trump's win, without realizing the DNC stymies every step of progression by cutting out favorable candidates early on in the electoral process, and adding things to bills they know wont pass so they can say they tried. Each year they alienate more and more people, to gain more donor money, not caring if they run a successful campaign, or not. Harris was NOBODY'S pick, but instead of running a candidate that had the potential to win(Bernie, RFK, Gabbard, or literally anyone else, who could've pulled swing states AND reps.), they chose the woman who made Joe's crime bill her life, along with the truancy act and marijuana convictions(all of which disproportionately affect POC), while giggling about her conviction rate.She overlooked key points that were much more important to the majority of Americans, in favor of the niche groups we focus on in the media. Even as DA and AG, she vacillated between what was appropriate sentencing and what wasnt, based on how she felt, regardless of the letter of the law(see Kevin Cooper). You can't say you are against non-violent prison sentences, then convict people of them. You cant hold people in jail when the federal court tells you to release them. You can't withhold DNA evidence that could overturn a death penalty. She is a charlatan and a hypocrite, and the unsure people saw it.

You would've thought they'd have learned something from 2016, but no. They(arrogantly) ran the same campaign they did for Hilary, and now everyone is pissed at their fellow American, instead of the government that actually screwed them over.The DNC needs to be dismantled and rebuilt if they want a solid candidate. Currently, it is just as corrupt as the GOP and whoever doesn't realize that is absolutely blind.

I want to live. This is what Ive been saying to myself for the past week. I want to live, and people out there disagree with me on that. Two weeks ago I (21 Trans male) was daydreaming about marrying my boyfriend (22 Trans male) in the next 3-5 years. Hes everything to me. Without him, our story, our lives, everything that is me and him, without that I would be dead. If I lose that, I will be dead. I go to work in a town I just moved into that felt so safe, and I see Trump hats and bumper stickers and I wonder if these people want me or my partner dead. I know it could happen at any moment. Someone could want us dead and make it happen. And that thought consumes me as I give them what they need to go about their day. I want to live. I want to get married. I want to change my name. I want to be happy. Fuck. I wanna live.

It really is that simple. I’m new to this sub so this may have already been mentioned, but the amount of posts I see that blames everything else but that is anecdotal. This is the main reason. And the reason we didn’t see it, is because no one wants to admit it. Especially not in some poll. As a minority, I know first hand how misogynistic the community can be. It was always going to be an uphill battle, but this to me is the main reason.

The other day I saw a post about wolves, and somehow, the comments ended up being people judging those that read "Omegaverse" books, because it's not based on reality of how wolves actually behave. People called those readers mentally ill.

Nobody that writes fantasy romance is basing their alien, orc, vampire, fairy, werewolf, made up fantasyland story on a scientific study of those imaginary subjects in a natural setting. Those authors are allowed to have their own universe in their head and share it with others who like those types of books.

It's also ok not to enjoy things other do, and it's ok not to "get" a concept (for example, I don't get the mpreg concept of Omegaverse books).

I love to read, and I get recommendations of anything from historical books, to poetry, to fantasy romance, and novels. I enjoy reading about someone else's perspective on things, and I enjoy entering into some else's fantasy world, through their words. If I don't like a book because it crosses a line (encouraging pedophilia, rape, abuse and such subjects), I don't read it.

To close this off, you don't need to put down another person for liking something you don't, and they are certainly not inferior to you for liking something different.

My family is supportive, but I have no friends. Had an appendectomy last thursday, I was a bit anxious but didn't have any friends to share my feelings with. Lost contact with everyone I met during primary school, middle school, high school, medical school, two hospitals that I've worked in. I try to maintain relationships, but can't seem to "get people want to hang out with me". I don't know why, maybe I don't try hard enough, maybe I'm annoying. No one confronts me about it. I feel like I respect every thought. Maybe I avoid confrontation too much. Maybe I'm too reserved. Quit my job last April to be able to study for PLAB 2- UK medical equivalency exam. Failed it, I didn't know how to study, couldn't manage to research how to study. One guy I asked told me that they would explain it, he didn't, then apologized for not explaining it and would explain it, and then didn't again. I'm constantly that ignored guy. I didn't have any meaningful romantic relationships either. I'm too scared to be a bother. My next exam is this December, I don't know if I would be able to pass. I don't know what would I do even if I pass, it's very hard for me to find a job in NHS, I have nothing on my CV other than 1.5 years of ER experience. I'm 28 and my sister and my parents financially support me. All my savings will go to military service fee - to lower it from 6 months to 1 month. I am very tired. Very tired. Don't have anyone to tell that I'm tired. I've been feeling this way for months, this is the only time that I'm explaining my thoughts. The only thing I can hold onto is believing that this is a temporary state, and my family. And I only have my family because I am lucky.

I’m sorry if all you see on this subreddit is about politics, but I’m tired. I have to say this.

Before people get angry, let me just preference, I do not give a shit who you vote for. I don’t care if you vote Biden, Kamala, Trump, Jill Stein, I don’t even care if you vote Kanye West. But I’m seriously tired of it.

I’m a teaching assistant for a middle school. Recently, we had a 6th grade boy come in wearing a “TRUMP 2024 - TAKE AMERICA BACK” shirt with a “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN” hat, who biked to school (his bike also had “TRUMP 2024”, “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”, flags, plus one incredibly racist and one very homophobic flag I’m not comfortable sharing.. to school.

I’m not gonna involve the full story, but he got dress coded by his second period teacher, and now his parents are trying to get the news involved and are now threatening to sue.

I’m genuinely tired of this. How hard is it to understand YOUR CHILD CANNOT WEAR THAT. We would do the same if your child wore something like “BIDEN 2024” or “KAMALA 2024”.

Sad part is that this isn’t even the first time something like this has happened. Atleast once a year, there always has to be some big scandal where some parent has to send their kid in something political or controversial.

Please.. it’s not that hard to send your kids in something like a black t-shirt and jeans. It’s exhausting to deal with.

“We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" - Kevin Roberts, Heritage Foundation President and Project 2025 author

Everything we've seen from the GOP in the Trump era signals that they are not going to relinquish power, ever. They will kneecap free and fair elections as fast as they can to ensure Dems can never, ever retake the presidency or majorities in the house and senate, and with full control of all branches of government, nobody can stop them. All this Dem introspection trying to learn lessons from this election to win the next one is futile.

The Heritage Foundation, Elon Musk, and Peter Thiel have been handed our country on a silver platter and they're not giving it back. It is gone.

I've heard time and time again on reddit that Texas is a swing state. At first, I thought this was just optimism, but then as the election came closer, and it went from optimism to genuine delusion!

I lived in New York for years, and when Trump said "We're gonna win New York" I had to knock Trump supporters back to reality, because I knew there was no chance of that happening.

So to hear that people genuinely thought that Harris was gonna win Texas was EMBARRASSING! Just because Texas turns a little blue every Election, doesn't mean Harris had any chance. How did I know for sure? Because the same district where the Uvalde shooting took place voted OVERWHELMINGLY for Abott!

There's hope, and then there's delusion. Please learn the difference!

YOU are the reason trump won. YOU stayed the fuck home on election night and didn't do fuck all other than bitch about the election all over the internet. Literally MILLIONS of people didn't vote.

"I just didn't have time!"

You will make time and if you can't then send ballot by mail.

"But- but- my boss, meh voting rights forcefully taken!"

Nope, again, you had a chance to fill out a ballot via mail, on your own time, which is available to all states.

"eligibility requirements!"

Fuck off. Their are none. The only requirement is providing a reason and most states don't even require that. There are absolutely zero fucking excuses. If you didn't vote then your a peice of shit and you should feel like one.

I was born on the cusp of being categorized as either a millennial or Gen Z, but most would call me the latter. Basically, I'm old enough to remember MySpace but not old enough to remember pre-9/11 airports.

I'm also old enough to remember being inundated with shitty articles about how Millennials are killing Applebee's or whatever. One of the most agitating recent developments for me was when I started seeing millennials, both online and IRL, whine about how "Gen Z x" or "Gen Z doesn't y". Then you look at their old posts, and just a few years before, they were complaining about how boomers and Gen Xers generalized them as a monolith.

In a couple of cases, I would dig up their old posts where they whined about boomers generalizing them and screenshot it. And while some would admit to their hypocrisy, most just doubled down with some nonsensical mental gymnastics about how "It's different! We only hate them because [insert nonsense here] unlike the BOOMERS who hated on us for [insert other nonsense here]".

This shit has been going on for a while now, but it REALLY exploded since the election. A bunch of shitty articles come out blaming Gen Z for the election, despite the fact that we voted for Harris by the highest fucking percentage, and morons online eat that shit up. I can forgive Gen X and boomers for falling into the same traps they did a decade ago, but the millennials who fall for this shit? If you EVER said anything about those stupid Applebee's articles and are now gloating about newer articles saying that Zoomers failed the country on election day, you are a fucking idiot.

Let's see if the cycle repeats in 15 years for me. Unfortunately, I know it will on a wide scale and several of my peers will be talking shit about Gen Alpha as if they're a monolith, but I at least hope I won't be so blind to my own past.

And just to cover my bases here, if you're a millennial and haven't shit on Gen Z, this ain't about you. In fact, shout-out to the millennials I've seen calling this exact phenomenon out. Y'all are great.

I posted a heartfelt thank you to all the losers and suckers that faithfully served my nation on Veteran's Day and I told by numerous good Christian patriots that I was using Donald's words out of context. When I asked what context it wasn't degrading and horrific in, I received no replies.

They adore him and applaud when he says these things, then attack anyone who holds up his words to be examined. How do they do it? Where is the disconnect? Are they honestly this blind or do they know how hypocritical they are being and don't care? I honestly can't wrap my head around it.

I'm autistic. Those weird gray areas where you say one thing but everyone else is supposed to understand it means something else are confusing to me, so I'm always open to the strong possibility that I'm wrong in my understanding. But when someone mocks a POW for getting captured I don't see any other way to understand it. Donald mocked McCain, a POW senator's son who was offered the chance to go home and refused to do so if his fellow captives had to stay, and our current president mocked him for it....... and I'm the bad guy for pointing it out.

I’m just struggling to understand this - People came out in droves to keep Trump out of the White House again in 2020. Nothing is going to make me believe that in 4 years over 9,000,000 people decided it wasn’t as worth it. Trump had almost 1,000,000 more votes than last election - sure whatever, maybe 1,000,000 people switched. But 8,000,000 people came to the conclusion that they are okay with Trump this time? It just doesn’t make sense to me. I don’t know who to blame or if there’s anyone specific to blame, but the numbers just don’t add up. Did 8,000,000 people really get sick of the price of eggs?

I have been seeing a lot of rhetoric about how trump supporters will have a rude awakening and regret their choices when things are more expensive, their kids have no resources at school, they're deported, their daughters die from ectopic pregnancies, they have no social security and become homeless, they have no health insurance, rubella runs rampant due to vaccine mistrust, etc, etc, etc

No they won't! All it will take will be trump saying "this is kamala's fault", "this is actually good for you", "the left is doing this", "this is patriotic", etc.

The assumption that some kind of consequence will start making them use reason instead of quadrupling down on their cult is not something I foresee.

The fuck is wrong with you people? How could you vote for this orange asshole? The biggest problem I have with minority voters for Trump is they really believe, even though he has talked about every minority group out there, he’s not talking specifically to that person. He’s talking about other Latinos, not me. Other black people, not me.

I talked to my friend the other day who is a Trump supporter (50/50 on if the friendship will continue) and he said he didn’t believe the Tariffs would actually hurt and that the promise of police immunity won’t matter because they “still have to follow protocols right?” The fuck?!? Did you not hear of Jim Crow? If there are no consequences for not following protocol, why the fuck would I follow protocol. If my boss says to me, yeah I know we can’t smoke in here, but don’t worry about it, I’ll make sure you won’t get in trouble if you do it. Then why the hell would I care about the protocol that I have to go outside to smoke if the person in charge told me it doesn’t matter.

Latinos in Florida, Texas, Nevada, and Arizona. Are you on the drugs he has accused people that look like you of bringing into this country? I saw an interview on MSNBC of them interviewing a Latino family in Nevada. The husband and wife came into the country illegally in the 80s and got amnesty or something like that during the Reagan years (not sure the exact process because I was too busy yelling at these idiots on my tv). They sat their dumb asses there and said we have undocumented immigrant relatives in the country now but we voted for Trump because we don’t believe he will come after them because “they haven’t done anything wrong” and he’ll go after the ones “brining crime and drugs into the country.” I cannot believe how damn stupid people are. He’s not going to get a list of undocumented folks and say “oh Christina in El Paso? Oh she’s fine to stay.” No dummies he is planning to round you and your anchor baby children up and figure out what to do with your asses then just like he did with those children in god damn cages on the souther border. You voted against your interest and now you’ll reap the consequences. A devastating display of uninformed voters and a masterclass by Republicans to say whatever they want, but saying it enough to get fools to buy into it. You live in Iowa Earl, why the hell is the Southern Border your number 1 concern 🤦🏾‍♂️. Fucking morons

Is Jack getting 17 years because he's too poor and too young to run for President? I sit here wondering how DJT can openly mishandle more sensitive secrets than Jack, but get off because he's rich and seeking office. Doesn't seem like "equal justice for all."

First time posting here. I read the rules, but mods please remove if not appropriate for the sub. Thanks!

I have a competitive exam coming up and I’m home all the time studying. I’m fully lonely and depressed at this point. Whenever I call my friends to rant they say they are really busy and call back later and never call back. And when they call they expect me to sit and listen about their rants of how tired they are how this person angered them that person annoyed them. Buddy I don’t talk to anyone the entire day by the end of they I have atleast hum to know that I have a voice and you want me to listen how tired you are? See idm listening to their problems but no one listens to me It’s frustrating for me

I don't understand, please try and help me understand. Look, flatly I am aware every single human being has a bias, that is inescapable. However, I would like to be able to describe myself as an empiricist, I tend to favor scientific truths, and objective fact. That is to say I try and be honest with myself about the fucking world we live in.

Of course my own accounts are anecdotal, but why the fuck is it that so many people are living in their own little bubbles, with their own warped view of reality. What the fuck is an alternative fact? The absolute dumbfounded look I get from people when I describe the mechanisms of a tariff and how that would likely increase domestic inflation is astounding. Like people have no fucking clue.

Maybe, my view is too narrow? Too wide? But considering the results of the United States elections I am starting to think that perhaps it isn't anecdotal, maybe people are just that fucking stupid nowadays. Look, please understand that this isn't just about people who are conservative in the modern era, this is about how society has reached terminal decline.

As it is said, all good things must come to an end eventually. I fear that, for me at least, this is the case for YouTube. I do not understand what genius person/people there thought it would be a good idea to infest popular channel posts with ad after ad lasting not minutes, but tens of minutes if you do not act to end the damn things!

Well, today I reached my limit dealing with the infuriating commercialization of a platform that used to be for the “people”. I changed the channel on the TV or the app on my laptop to something other than YouTube!

I actually was able to watch a program about the planet Venus this morning on streaming platform without verbally cursing as there was only ONE (YouTube… ONLY ONE) commercial/add to interrupt programming!

So go ahead, YouTube, and become the platform for informercials that are interrupted by content of the channel you are using.

Contact me, YouTube, when your silly and stupid experiment ends. In the meantime, take your “90+” designated interruptions and shove them!

Bye!!!

I cannot stay any single day under the CCP in China that is why I left all my friends and parents behind and hardly to see them again flew to The US.

Once I realized how bright the democracy, the fear of darkness of the CCP appeared in my mind. The fear have been existing there since I born, I just didnt know when I was in the Dark of tyranny.

I dont know where can I go with my poor career history, if USA going down, the rest world will be following.

You claim to be “real men”? You voted Trump because your little feelings got hurt by a girl so you decided to vote for the shriveled ballsack of a man who aims to make life worse for everyone just to “stick it to em”? You are pathetic and I hope that if there is a god he makes sure that you live and die alone. Real men are supposed to protect those in our lives who are unable to do so themselves, it is our DUTY. And you have all failed, remember that every time you look in the mirror, remember you are genuinely less than human, you are disgusting.

Edit: To whoever got the Reddit care resources thing to reach out to my account I say this: Lol

It wasn't the people who voted—it was those who chose not to. Over 10 million sat out, some to make a statement against Harris. How much disregard can one have for their own communities? Forty states have populations under 10 million—forty.

By choosing not to vote, these individuals didn’t just undermine the nation; they failed their own local communities. To those who stayed home: you have compromised your own city, your schools, your infrastructure—everything that forms the backbone of daily life. Not voting jeopardized critical funding for school meal programs, assistance for those with disabilities, vital tax revenue for public services, and more.

Local elections are not just significant—they are essential. This is about your home: where you live, shop, age, and where your loved ones may spend their final days—either in a well-resourced facility or one that is neglected and underfunded.

Voting is more than a right; it is a responsibility to your community. Ignoring it has far-reaching, lasting consequences.

Congratulations for starving a local kid with abusive parents.

Currently there are 3: Barrett, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch

To get to 5: Alito and Thomas will retire, giving him 2 more choices. By end of 2025 this is a done deal.

To get to 6: Sotamayor will become ill or sick at some point, she's 70, diabetic, and emotionally disregulated.

To get 7: John Roberts will graciously step down as Chief Justice during his last year in office, providing the 7th

To get go 8: We only need an illness or event for KBJ or Kagan to step down.

7 is assured, 8 is an easy chance.

This vote had nothing to do with feelings. Fuck feelings. This was a vote about the Supreme Court, this is a 50 year multi-generational fuckup.

Since everyone wants to keep blaming non voters. I’m making this post to set the record straight.

First off, I voted for Harris, but a lot of folks didn’t. Trump won on less votes than he received in 2020. This was not a Trump victory, it was a Harris loss!

There is a common saying, “Republicans fear their base whereas Democrats hate their base.”

It tracks. Democrats go out of their way to do as little as possible for their base. They have spent decades catering to left wing sentiment while maintaining a favorable environment for the wealthy that we protest against so much.

Obama gave us Mitt Romney’s healthcare plan developed by the Heritage Foundation, a Republican think tank.

Joe Biden was only able to provide 2 trillion in infrastructure because members of our own party are blocking legislation. The Society of Civil Engineers said the minimum should be 4 trillion, and they’ve been saying this for years.

The Democratic Party stiffed Bernie twice during the primary, even when Bernie had more favorable odds against Trump. They’d rather see Trump win than someone with actual progressive convictions to come into office like Bernie. They’d rather put a man with dementia in office than have Bernie at the helm.

Prominent members of the Democratic Party do insider trading, when we’re supposed to be the party of the working people!

They have abandoned their base, and now their base has abandoned them.

At least when Republicans say they’re going to fuck things up, they do. Rest assured, they do what they set out to do. The Democratic Party has become a bunch professional losers. They can’t even control their own party members. They are controlled opposition. Its disgusting.
