um, what? fake? have you *read* the indictments? it's very well-documented. by the way: I don't know what's worse for you, if he holds power for longer or not. If he holds power for longer, your loved ones and their family members will grow up idolizing you, and the United States will lose what has made it great - smart people, immigrants, their children, anyone slightly outside of the norm. It'll be an old relic, notable only for the number of nuclear weapons it has, that everyone seeks to escape. (More effective than building a wall, I suppose.) And if Trump/Republicans lose power earlier? You'll be remembered as the people who tried their damndest to destroy us. If you have children, your descendants will be ashamed they have you as an ancestor. Your names will become insults and synonymous with treason and treachery. Oh, and when your best friend's daughter is bleeding to death because the doctors can't give her an abortion after she was raped and the bread isn't cheaper because of tariffs - you voted based on getting the (nonexistent) gangs out. I hope you enjoy the next four years, because I sure as hell won't.

Thanks for the condolences. People who voted for him had the economy/immigration on their minds. He want's to impose tariffs. Guess what that's going to do. Mass deportation is going to cost a pretty penny too. Oh, yeah, tax cuts for the wealthy as usual.

A felon ran and won yet there are many states that still don’t allow felons to vote.

She thought she was eligible because of recently passed law (which coincidentally allowed trump to vote) https://www.tallahassee.com/story/news/politics/2023/11/08/florida-woman-registers-to-vote-after-voter-fraud-charges-dropped/71502022007/ edited for autocorrect

Edit: not unimaginable as in "didn't know it could happen." But unimaginable as in ***surely those at the levers of power will be reasonable and take decisive action to prevent it***

Despite the decades long screams of "do something" [emissions have only fallen a little](https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicators/climate-change-indicators-us-greenhouse-gas-emissions).

There are success stories like the [banning of CFCs](https://gml.noaa.gov/hats/publictn/elkins/cfcs.html) and the reduction of acid rain by lowering sulfur and NOx emissions. 2014 me thought that green house gas driven climate change would be another success like that that if not abated, would at least stabilize. There have been multiple international agreements since the 90s that haven't been ambitious enough or that were not signed by the US/pulled out of by the US. *Any progress is good* but its not enough. .
