Move on? No.
The next 4 years are going to be awful. Your choices are pretty much to fight like hell to limit the damage to your community, tune it all out to protect yourself from the stress, or find a way out of the country, at least until after the next election (god willing).
In that case can we just focus more on other things?
You a white cis male?
Do you need to ask?
dont count on another election. scotes threw that out of the ring. if biden could anull the election snd stop the switch, you can bet trump will do it
Ask us again in four years… I fucking hope.
and do what? carry on like nothing changes for worse? yknow, plain water is better for you than koolaid
No.
There’s no moving on from this, it’s the last peaceful election we are gonna get.
The idiots trying to downplay this are going to be very suprised in 3-4 years when they get drafted so the Republicans can declare martial law and stay in power for life
Who’s we? I’m not even in the same hemisphere as the dumpster fire that is the USA.
Sure!
So how about this climate change huh? Ecological collapse in just a couple of decades from what I hear. And really no one with significant power anywhere doing anything but speeding it up.
Discuss.
Ironic! This post is a direct violation of rule 2. No politics.
That rule clearly isn’t being enforced at all, have you seen the state of this place?
So. It’s okay to break them if there’s no one that will enforce them……
Hmmm, that certainly sounds familiar.
If you haven’t noticed that’s all of Lemmy. This is the last post I will make that is political related.
I saw this post earlier and figured it was more of a meta post about discussions on Lemmy rather than a political post itself, but the thread is getting too heated for a meme community, and I’m going to lock.
Maybe delete it since it violates the rules anyway? Should help with your issues with political posts everywhere also.
Nah dog
It’s your post, dog. If you’ll like it to serve as an example of the very thing you’re here to complain about-
I’m not going to stand in your way.
Yes! Can we go back to exchanging funny memes and cute animal videos with each other again? Please?
Lemmy: I’m sorry Dave I’m afraid I can’t do that
yeah, in 4 years
That’s very optimistic
Get your gasoline now.
I just want normal memes…
Apathy does feel a lot better than engaging with reality
Some of us care about the country.
What are you going to do? This feels more like a pointless circle jerk. Maybe create a community to discuss the next 4 years
I’m already involved in local politics and will be fighting like hell to save it.
What are you going to do?
Shit post
Are people dumb enough to think our world is going to continue as it has, just keep making memes, move on? We done fucked up, there will be nothing to move on to.
Right? That was possibly the last election for president our country will hold. No, I can’t just move on from it.
Like Biden will likely have to leave the country once he’s no longer president, along with his whole family. Taylor Swift might have to leave. Who knows what this raging narcissist will do.
A man who will rape, which is sexual torture, doesnt care about you or your body except how it pleases him. Including killing you. We are very fucked. He will punish us until his narcissistic ego feels satiated.
The US has the top military budget and nuclear weapons, which was just given to an open fascist who is clearly in the pocket of a foreign power, which has an interest in destroying our country.
With that mentality you are screwed regardless.
Chill
No. You and we all are too. Unless you Simpson the result this is it. The end. Go pic your damn last song for your and everyone’s life you got, maybe, 5 years left but I doubt that much.
If the past is any indicator of the future then we can expect the next four years to be non-stop Trump posting.
If trump would stop being a weird fascist people would stop talking about him, just saying…
Please no…
Sensible Erection (reddit precursor) had to spin off a-whole-nother site, Sensible Election for the '04 (I think?) election and aftermath.
I think we need mods to step up and enforce no politics rules
If they mods are promoting politics it is time to move on.
Every board is a politics board … Forever…
Can we just move on from the US 2024 election?
Yeah sure. Just find someone who can put me in a medical coma, and I’ll ‘forget’ all about it.
No. No, we can’t “move on” from the election, because elections have consequences. We will never be able to “move on” because we will be continuously fucked by those consequences, in the ass with no lube, for the rest of our lives.
Even if Trump and the GOP give up power and the US holds free and fair elections in four years, an absolute fuck-ton of permanent damage will have been done in the meantime.
There are so many things at stake, but people really don’t know how bad Trump’s supreme court has fucked the environment already. Getting the average voter to care about it won’t happen until it’s far too late. I try to just not think about it.
Like, what exactly? States are still moving forward with their climate change plans. The states who aren’t, have a very small impact and are largely canceled out by those who do. Deportations will likely go up, support for Ukraine will likely evaporate, but the impact to citizens inside of the US are largely unchanged. The economy isn’t going to change course, and we’ve been getting fucked in the ass with no lube by all of our administrations going back to Reagan. The ceiling isn’t falling, it’s been fallen for quite some time.
I sincerely hope you’re right
How dare you challenge them with scary things like logic and reason
“He was only stabbed 23 times on the floor of the senate. We need to move on … and then finish wiping up the floor.”
Sounds pretty fucking privileged that you even have the option of moving on from the topic
I haven’t seen anything productive in any of the conversations about it I’ve looked at. Just fingerpointing at who’s to blame. It’s pointless to argue now.
You might be right, but sometimes we sort through things by saying the wrong things first.
It is pretty easy to do. You just move on.
Kinda hard to ‘move on’ while watching other people across the pond lose their human rights and possibly getting invaded by Russia myself.
We will have to see what happens. Hopeful Trump will mean with Putin right away.
If not he is prepared to sign off on more aid.
What an awful thing to say.
I guess we know (if they live in the US) what they didn’t do on tuesday.
Well you can be cold and dissociated from reality, but the rest of us get to feel our feelings too. Why don’t you just move on that we aren’t moving on? Why don’t you just, idk, shut up, since you are all for shutting up? Lead by example.
I’ll just move on to better communities. End of the world memes are getting old.
Just curious, what if it turns out that you’re wrong? What will you end up doing?
I’m not but we can cross that bridge when we get there.
Maybe I’ll bookmark this comment so see where we are in 4 years
No. You’ll be and so will we.
Lol will we have internet in 4 years?
“Can we just get over the fact that your foot is blown off? It’s bumming me out.”
No
When has apathy ever backfired though??
When 15 million voters who could have swayed the election said “fuck it”. 15 million voters who voted democrat in 2020, that is.
That’s what I was getting at ;)
I’m not sure what apathy is and I don’t care!
