...Once the #Senate is under #MAGA control, I can see the age-old #Filibuster practice fall out of favor pretty quickly.
👉In short, this is a mostly legal coup. In my personal view, the outcome can roughly be compared to the 1st #Reichstag election of 1933 in the #WeimarRepublic, but (rather skillfully, I must, alas,admit)...

...hangs on a thread at present:
Via #WHYY.org:
"...the #House...or a flip to #Democrats 👉as a last line of resistance to a #Trump second-term White House agenda.👈
A few individual seats, or 👉👉even a single one, will determine the outcome. 😂Final tallies will take a while, likely pushing the decision into next week—or beyond."

The "#DeepState" beaurocrats that corrected some of the #OrangePeril's severest assaults on the American system will quickly be replaced by 100% loyal MAGAT|s, which were vetted by the #Project205 taskforce put in place by the #FederalistSociety.

I don't think there are any significant guardrails left
but the Constitution.
Let me explain why:
#SCOTUS will, however, be interpreted by an all-but #MAGA-controlled #SupremeCourt.
Regarding the #JusticeDepartment and the rest of the #Judiciary, I strongly recommend reading this summary I wrote about the #DeutschesReich regarding this...

I'm not gonna wade into the mire of recent #USPOL developments, but at least Jonathan Pie has once again nailed it with his take that cuts to the chase and hopefully might just bring a smirk from at least one corner of your mouth

Should You Compensate Slave Owners?
The history of slavery and its devastating aftermath is too complex for a simple blog post, but I wish to draw your attention to how slave owners were compensated when slaves gained their freedom.Terence Eden’s Blog

If this analysis is only half correct, this is the most damaging thing about Trump's reelection.
"the extra 4GtCO2e from a second Trump term would negate – twice over – all of the savings from deploying wind, solar and other clean technologies around the world over the past five years."
It could be the final death knell for keeping global warming under 1.5 degrees.

Here are some interesting extracts from that exit poll survey:
(Blue/left is what democrat voters said, red/right is for republicans, I imagine that they categorised as Dem those who said they voted for Harris and Rep if they said they voted for Trump but this is not actually clearly explained)

#LeMonde has some very informative graphs about the Us Election, yes they are only in French but pretty clear I think:
- The results map so far:
lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/artic… - Almost all states shifted more republican compared to the previous (2020) election:
lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/artic… - The polls have always underestimated the vote for #Trump:
lemonde.fr/les-decodeurs/artic…
Of course not all the votes have been counted yet but it doesn't look like it will change anything to these facts.
So, a clear and consistent far-right trend, despite all the personal flaws of that candidate and those close to him, that we really can't ignore or push under the rug.. Instead we need to fight it!

If you are wondering what kind of messages -mala was sending to encourage people to vote for her, literally telling she will continue to support genocide into the future.
These motherfuckers (and Zionists/Fascists like Bernie who were telling everyone he will push her "left", who supported Half-dead Nazi zombie too to push him "left") are the one's who were telling everyone they will stop genocide & people should trust them.
Anyone wonder why she lost?

Vielerorts Rekord-Wahlbeteiligungen. Die Jugend und die Latinos (wurden in #Trump|s letzter Wahlkampfveranstaltung in #NY indirekt als als "Müll" bezeichnet) haben sich besonnen und wollen Trump nicht wieder als Präsident. Wenn das auf die Wählerinnen auch...

Since young voters overwhelmingly support Democrats, high youth turnout in Nevada could be even more bad news for Republicans on a day when there is already a sense of panic growing around the GOP as more Democrats than they expected are voting on election day and Republicans aren’t getting the turnout that they anticipated so far.
