Will he embark on a Moscow trials spree then ?
He will need bags to put the heads inside.

An honest answer is that we simply do not know for sure how far he is going to take things.

That said, he is wildly volatile and is surrounded by lunatic ultra extremists, plus was backed (billions and billions of dollars spent in dark money, blowing away the overal money spent by the Dems) by completely amoral billionaires.

This is a terrible day for democracy and human rights.

Donald Trump, a convicted felon who has vowed to be “a dictator for only a day,” and who has plans to politicize our Department of Justice, to round up and cage immigrants, and to “protect” women “whether they like it or not,” is now president-elect of the United States.

Trump’s election has already emboldened extreme far-right groups and given new momentum to their campaigns against LGBTQ+ people, migrants, women, and other marginalized communities. His Project 2025 allies like the Heritage Foundation and Alliance Defending Freedom are ready to implement their plans for his administration to gut the civil rights of multiple communities, politicize our federal institutions, and support Trump’s pursuit of abject authoritarianism, while inculcating Christian Nationalism into every aspect of our government and Americans’ lives.

He’s also already given strength to groups like the Proud Boys, White Lives Matter, and militia organizations. Today, we’re tracking their activities and plans to “help” Trump implement his promised policies, which will only create harm.

Here at GPAHE, we have prepared for this possibility and are putting into place intensified efforts to resist a Trump administration’s tactics to expand his power while weakening that of ordinary citizens. We will expose and counter these groups, dedicating resources to mitigate their influence and track their networks. We will make sure that organizations and individuals attempting to strip our rights are confronted at every instance. And we will follow every avenue and employ every strategy to blunt their plans.

We aren’t going to let Trump and his far-right accomplices destroy LGBTQ+ people, women, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. And we will do all that is humanly possible to preserve our precious democracy.

Our mission remains clear: combating authoritarianism and the hate and extremism that fuels it. In the days ahead, we will share more about our response to these extraordinary events and how we will counter the threats they pose to democracy and human rights.

We are very grateful for your commitment to America’s core values of inclusion and freedoms for everyone. And we’re very grateful for your partnership with us and our team at GPAHE.

Sincerely,

Think we will see some outrageous attacks by right wing groups now, physical, and especially on X, as they are emboldened by the Orange Octagenarian. If 'convicted' of violence they will be pardoned

Look at these statistics:
The total number of votes shared between reps and dems was 13 million less than in 2020.
Trump got 800,000 votes less than in 2020.
Harris got a staggering 12 million fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
In other words 12 million who voted Biden in 2020, in the midst of covid as well, did not turn up !

The 800,000 misssing Trumpies can be seen as a statistical fluctuation or went against the tide and voted for Harris.
But the 12 million did not switch to Trump, they did n't vote (12 million plus rather).
That places the American election result under a new light.
Could it have something to do with the voter challengers ? Dissatisfaction over the economy made them respond with indifference ?
They could n't have been anti-mexican. An anti-mexican goes to the polling station from 6 o' clock in the morning.

Amsterdam taking a nice wrecking ball. Wonder how quickly it’ll resemble Stockholm. Every time I’ve passed through, Moroccans have tried showing the big balls lol. Every time. In groups of course. Dutch are lovely. The people not from the culture who don’t adopt the culture are a shitshow.

That's a huge point, but are you happily letting people adopt the culture ?
Do that first.

millions of votes are stll not counted

California, the big one, for example, is notoriously slow in terms of counting

as in weeks and weeks before they give the final numbers  (so so so often, and it is maddening)

probably the only remotely good thing about the Electoral College is that it usually (the rect BIG exception being 2000 FL, Bush v Gore) avoids a final call (in a very close race in terms of the national popular vote) taking (potentially) weeks and weeks and weeks to determine

I saw now it says 94% (the wikipedia).
So what I wrote is approximately correct.
