Trump is winning all these states and look at the percentages. How?

Edit: many news agency are calling PA for Trump. So we are truly fucked.

    As a Swede this is not the news I wanted to wake up to. Let’s just pray Trump is going to spend all these four years on the golf course as much as possible.

      As an American who voted against him to save democracy here, I can’t even sleep. If it wasn’t for my girlfriend and my family I would have probably killed myself tonight. Dark days ahead, of a scale I can’t even imagine. The worst part is the feeling of betrayal by my countrymen. I don’t belong here anymore, but I can’t leave those I love.

        Don’t kill yourself. Get some sleep and give it some time. You can always die later and maybe there will be an opportunity to do some good in the meantime.

        I have a girlfriend and family and yet I’m still considering ending it all. Someone please bring me strength. My entire family is either against me or apathetic and I just can’t take it anymore. I’ve struggled with depression all my life but between losing my job recently and seeing these election results, I think I’ve reached my breaking point.

        No sleep will come my way tonight, either. I plan on continuing to drink and smoke until I pass out but I’m only going to regret this tomorrow once the hangover kicks in and brings me to an even lower low. I don’t know what else to do, though. I’m surrounded by fucking idiots who obviously didn’t realize just exactly what was at stake for the future of not only the county, but the whole god damn planet.

        I know I’m screaming into the void here but like so many other of us, I need to fucking vent. Either help me or ignore this comnent; nothing matters anymore.

        Edit: you have no idea how of an impact you’ve just made with your words. These are dark times but we’ve all been through worse. Thank you for the hope, and here’s to a scary and uncertain future. 🎉😭

          Please stay around. We’ll need good people for whatever comes. If you end it, nothing good comes from it. If you hang on, and help like-minded people through the storm ahead, then at least some good may come.

          Your girlfriend will surely miss you. Please don’t do anything rash.

          I feel that. I’m going through a divorce right now and I am losing everything. My house, my dog, my wife, my country. I also fear what a Trump presidency will do to our planet. I am here in the void with you, and I can hear your screams. You matter to me. We are surrounded by fucking idiots, and I feel a little less alone thanks to your comment. Something within you motivated you to make this comment, to ask for help. Hold on to that. I hope you will stay here.

        It’s honestly not that bad. Yeah, Trump sucks and we’ll probably see some regression in a few areas, just like we did in his first term. But we got through that and things are still pretty okay. I’m guessing we’ll see some inflation as well, but nothing nearly as bad as we saw just after COVID, and we got through that.

        Turn off the news and do things you enjoy. Cuddle with your girlfriend and vent your frustrations. Yes who the President is matters, but it matters a lot less than many people like to claim.

        Good luck sir or madame, we’ll get through this together.

      I don’t see the difference, really, since both support the Israeli genocide. Trump is going to be harder on China, and last he was president, he pushed us closer towards the EU which is a good thing.

            Maybe you should have a lok at the context again, because the context clearly implies USA not Europeans.

                Except there is nothing in the context that shows you are Swedish.
                As you can probably see, the vast majority misunderstood you.

        One tries to open uo humanitarian corridors, the other one wants Israel to finish the job. One is celebrated by Netanyahu, one isnt.

        He’s pro-Russia. When he takes office, it won’t be long until Ukraine loses. It sends a signal to Russia that they can occupy any land they want.

        He doesn’t believe in climate change. I’m afraid we can’t afford another 4 years of inaction. Those storms in southern US and the current flooding in Spain? Get used to it. It’s going to be even more frequent.

          And how effective had Bidens admin been against climate change? The US is polluting worse than ever!

          Russia is a European problem, and it’s time we acknowledge it as such and get our own shit together.

          No, I don’t see much of a difference, we’ve already lived with Trump for four years before, remember?

            You are highlighting how little you understand about diplomacy and most importantly alliances and friends.

        Pushed you closer to the EU? He put import Tarifs on our goods, there had never been a wider gap between Europa and the USA than under Trump. Most EU countries have made contingency plans for when Trump gets elected. His presidency is going to cost Europe likely in the high billions.

        So sincerely fuck Trump and our relations right along with it. The amount of effort Biden hat to pour in just to mend the cracks was ridiculous. I am not sure that the upcoming cracks can be mended in one turn
