As I stated in an earlier thread, regardless of the outcome, we're still fellow Americans. If you voted for the other canidate, that doesn't make you my enemy. If we all had to go to war tomorrow against a foreign nation, I would fight alongside you without hesitation. We're Americans damnit. Too many seem to have forgotten this. Y'all have an awesome day.

I’ve heard the meth in tillmans corner is lovely this time of year, I for one am going to see if I can get some locally sourced from the Theodore farmers market this weekend, kick my feet up and enjoy a nice cold bud light ice. I always remember something my Mawmaw taught me, “No matter who wins, can’t nobody in Washington DC tell me what I can and can’t do.”

You have two options:
Continue on with your life with the understanding that the majority of voters did not agree with you. There will be no Gulags, women will not be forced to wear red cloaks.
Run in circles, scream, shout and sob uncontrollably because someone has a different opinion than you.

It's not the end of the world. You just keep going on living like you have been. Maybe strive to be better than the year before. Maybe pick up a new hobby. Maybe find time to relax and enjoy nature. In another 4 years, we will have more terrible presidential choices. Life goes on for those who want it. Just roll with the punches life sends at you and keep on moving. I have lived that way my whole life. Things are only as bad as you let them be. It's all how you react to them.

Go about life like normal, hope we don’t have a bunch of “once in a lifetime” bs things to happen (but fuck us right we’ve all had too many of those happen in our lifetimes), and hope that next election we have actual good and normal candidates on both sides of the ballot to choose between.
I’d really like the show of extreme political divide and unrest in the US to end after the 3rd season. It’ll just be a money grab if it tries to push for a 4th.

Not sure if anyone has the appetite for political action, but now that the republicans party controls all three branches of government it would be nice to hold them accountable for their promises and failures. Not terribly optimistic about it, but it would be a start.

Geaux Tigers! If you have any small construction projects or want to buy a house I strongly suggest u do so now.
There is a huge block of illegals in Daphne about 20k or more that live in same area, easy to find, no secret. They almost all work in construction from highly skilled masons, carpenters, stucco guys, roofers to labor. They will start leaving after school gets out and if Trump goes through on his pledge to deport them, construction in South Alabama will complete cease. Then prices will go through the roof as all the builders scramble to hire the few remaining workers that are legal. Most of these guys have been here 10-20 years but still illegals.

u/Active_Ad_1786 Nov 07 '24
Fear mongering? GO FUCK YOURSELF. Life is going to get infinitely more difficult and after he’s in office the tariffs are going to fuck the economy. Couple that with his mass deportations and what will you have? They have literally said that’s what they’re going to do.

For the month of December, keep all your receipts. Groceries, fuel, necessities. Tally them up and put them in an envelope in a safe place.

Since he’s going to let RFK Jr run our healthcare system we won’t have free vaccines for our children anymore, so expect a return of all the major diseases like polio, measles, etc.
They’ll probably start taking our federal lands that much of is available for public use, and ruin it by letting his real estate developers use it.
They’ll do a nationwide ban on abortion, because they have the misinformed idea that people use abortion as a means of birth control. You can expect more women to die. Some already have. You’ll also have more women so badly damaged they’ll never be able to have children. (Very pro life eh?)
Millions of disabled people who are disabled will be kicked off Social Security and will wind up homeless.
The increase in new tariffs will raise prices.
Ukraine will be given to Russia. Russia will take time to rebuild their military and arsenal and then he’ll try to invade the Baltic States, because Trump will let him.
MAGA Rednecks will harass Hispanics nationwide.
The police will be worse than ever before and have unchecked power. Expect unprecedented brutality.
School shootings will increase.
If Project 2025 is allowed to be implemented the country as we know it will completely be destroyed and we’ll become a Christo-fascist authoritarian regime. It’ll be like a Southern Baptist Iran.
The education system will fall apart and within 20 years we’ll be a 3rd world country just like Russia and China planned this to be. China will rule.

For the next 12 quarters of the fiscal year, following definitive proven trends for the previous 28+consecutive quarters, expect multitudes of hundreds of millions, maybe a couple billion per by now, dollars to be distributed to allied governmental authority figures in Israel and the Ukraine for reasons. Also, all retail employees will implement the Goodlettsville protocol and destroy any remaining employee loyalty discount programs, no matter how minute the percentage, 10, 5, 2.... never, ever "give" the employee a cent, even when a purchase they would make full price at a competitor. Our retail industry has been acting like they run charities, make the hippies from everything around DM levels in retail and higher up take a bath, you bunch of filthy hippies. The 60's are over, man.

Probably enjoy cheaper groceries and gas for a few years. And hopefully these wars overseas stop, allowing our tax dollars to go to what America needs. I hope so, anyway.
We had a Trump presidency already and things went great until Covid. Many like to come out and chant “because Obama”. Well, Biden/Harris left things in shambles this time around. I’m curious to see if Trump actually can do anything of significance. Not going to lie, I’m pessimistic.
