  1. Read up on Operation Wetback. The criteria used to round people up and deport them looked a lot like this: Trust a Stephen Miller-led white nationalist deportation effort at your peril.
  2. I really don't want to participate in this thread - or any others - very much. BUT, I do think it's important to do something before he takes power: create a scorecard. And I invite Trump supporters to contribute to this scorecard. It is a list of things that Trump says he will do, or will not do. For example: Will not do: 1) Implement Project 2025 plans, because "he's never heard of it." Will do: 1) Mass deportation, on day one, of all people here illegally, and many here legally. 2) Bring prices down on everything. 3) "End the war in Ukraine in 24 hours." 4) Protect women. 5) Leave abortion to the states. There's plenty more. Just stuff he actually said he will/won't do. Then, let's keep score, shall we? Building the scorecard today eliminates any fudging or revisionism later. Those of you who voted for him, I presume that you expect him to follow through on his promises, right? So this not only shouldn't bother you, it should excite you. Finally, a leader who will follow through on his promises, no more bullshit. So, add to this, then we'll make a master list and maybe sticky it somewhere. To watch over the next four years.
  3. Yeah. Iโ€™ve got nothing. We are who I thought we were. Iโ€™m really tired of being right about how awful we are. Today, do what you can, for who you can. Shine a light. There is a โ€œcoming out on the other side.โ€ I suspect I wonโ€™t live to see it. Maybe our kids will. So, letโ€™s help them get there. Iโ€™m sorry. For those of you who have already been hurt, and those who will be. Iโ€™m sorry. Forward. As much as we can.
  4. Iโ€™m heading to bed. My kids are going to be so fucking upset. I doubt Iโ€™ll get either of them back here, and that breaks my heart. Iโ€™ve got about 10 more years of working. Iโ€™ll keep my head down, and make as much money as I can. And then I gotta find someplace to go. So be it. We arenโ€™t the first empire to collapse in on itself, causing great pain in the process. We wonโ€™t be the last. Weโ€™re not a great species. But then, we already knew that. Get some sleep. Tomorrow is another day. And a new fight. Itโ€™s just so damned tiring.
  5. Texas is never going blue. Itโ€™s only getting worse. And meaner. Think about how bad things are now. They just got a license to make them even worse. Texas has a mandate. A mandate to be awful.
  6. Nope. Not going to be the one to do that. Yep. Those together probably cost 2 points. Weโ€™re a bad country. Weโ€™re mean, racist, and sexist. We are going to make things even worse for people who already have it rough. I just canโ€™t even.
  7. So. Now is the time to start thinking about how to protect the most vulnerable people you know. Including helping them relocate to a state that might provide them some measure of protection. Providing them shelter and even physical protection. If this scenario holds, it gets beyond bad.
  8. Thread. Country. This is what weโ€™ve been saying, dude.
  9. We arenโ€™t getting WI. This is the problem. It may be the whole problem.
  10. Bingo. But she may also lose WI. Trouble. Itโ€™s all the hopeful trends that people were hoping for elsewhere that just havenโ€™t materialized. And it looks like heโ€™ll win NC and GA. And in the end, it is this, and was always this. This shouldnโ€™t be close. The rest of the world has their jaw on the floor - they canโ€™t figure out WTF is wrong with us. And neither can I, other than just coming back to the conclusion of โ€œwe are bad people.โ€
  11. That was never going to happen. Itโ€™s at best a tossup, just like it has been for months. This country is sucky, full of sucky people.
  12. The good news is that you probably have enough money to flee the US. It was NEVER going n to happen. Yall were all hitting the worldโ€™s biggest crack pipe for weeks. Exactly. Hope is poison.
  13. Way to remind me I hate most every aspect of my existence now. Asshole.
  14. Trump is outperforming his 2020 percentages in a more more places than weโ€™d like to see.
  15. Welp, still feel like I want to puke. All the fucking optimism was - as expected - unwarranted. We still donโ€™t know shit about fuck, but what we know is not great.
  16. I mean....for those of us who favor all of that.....she's doing great.
  17. I mean....that crab looks like it'll eat. Get the boiling pot ready. Then, pick me some of that good backfin meat as I drink a lotta coldbeers. That's livin'.
  18. Narrator [if Trump does not win]: They, in fact, did not respect it, and happily amplified Trump's cries of cheating and calls for violent resistance. Fox News is a fucking insurrectionist shithole, and any other self-respecting country would have drone striked the building by now.
  19. I mean, we oughta all pick one, and that's the central one. The 183 and Burnet one is slightly closer to me. But for the team. For Surly. For Kamala. For AMERICA....I'll go to the flagship Chilis.
