But I do have some fears...

[peenie 1,915]

Under the incoming Trump administration and Republican Congress, I fear:

That there will be destruction of nature in favor of drilling and construction. 

Unqualified people will be put in charge of government agencies.

Important institutions will no longer be funded properly. 

That illegals will be treated inhumanely. 

That white nationalists will become more active and potentially violent toward people of color.

I think your fears are justified. Especially the last one.  Best get yourself a gun and a man. I’d recommend a republican one.  

[Hawkeye21 2,398]

I think those are some legit fears, especially from a person of color.

I have concerns about what Trump will handle our environment.  I don't think he cares about conservationism.

A lot of our important institutions need to start over.  They need to be unplugged and plugged back in for a hard reset.

Okay, substitute white nationalist for Karen. I fear that Karens will become more emboldened and active.

I think they are probably called Keishas...

 

that's a bad joke. I know

[cmh6476 1,023]

I have gay family members and I can see how they could be concerned.  Or those who fear that abortions won't be available for what most would deem legitimate circumstances.  Those are probably fair concerns of people too.

 

But for the people on my Facebook feed, crying about how terrible people are for voting for Trump, I think most are reasonable on issues like abortion or gay rights.  They just have feelings that other issues are more important, like national security (including immigration), economy (including trade), etc.  Gay rights and abortion issues aren't why Harris lost.  It's the other issues most people care more about where they felt like Trump is the better option.

I'm seeing some crying on my Facebook feed but also a lot of like weird over the top stuff about Trump from his supporters.

I'll say what I've said numerous times here- hero worshipping politicians (be it Trump, Obama, etc) is just bizarre. I compare it to the people who define their lives through like Taylor Swift songs. Settle the hell down people.

yes, the Trumpers could show more grace and humility, and the ones who really wanted Kamala need to get over it because it isn't as bad as they seem to think it is.

Quote

 

Musk is helping staff the top ranks of the incoming White House and will run an unregulated entity to recommend ways to cut and reorganize government. Name another American figure with this kind of political juice.

Higher ambitions: Listen to Musk, and he always circles back to his belief in creating a multi-planetary future. He believes the future of our species is wholly dependent on it.

Well, you get there by controlling space — satellites, space travel and ultimately colonization. He has a virtual global monopoly on satellites and the hottest space company on the globe, Space X — one NASA depends on.

The bottom line: This creates conflicts of interest at an epic scale. But it's hard to see the Trump White House caring, or Musk letting it slow him down. And, when you control a big chunk of the information flow, you get to shape how lots of people view it, anyway.

Other than the last point, I totally agree. I can't imagine how anyone would argue with the complete disregard of natural conservation from Trump. The closest he ever gets to nature is a golf course that he owns. Hopefully his voters, which includes a helluva lot of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, can create a bulwark against some of his more environmentally destructive tendencies.

Wow. Democrats are really racist race baiters.

Now that you're a homeowner and starting to save money you need to stop with this crap.  Everything you listed are feel goods for poor people that don't really affect you at all.  You want to pay less taxes and save more of your hard earned money.  If you want to keep rising yourself up the next step is becoming a black republican.  You're almost there, don't fok it up.

She's always seems to be all about race for some reason. As far as I'm concerned, I don't care if some people are racists as long as they don't break any laws because of it. Dislike me because of my skin color all you want. WTF do I care? Just don't be a murderer. 

What is truly bad though are hate filled race baiters who spend their lives trying to turn people against other people by using the race card.  There is no place for that in this country.
