"I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America’s better angels.
I want honesty. I want an admission of exactly who we are as a country, and let’s be damn clear about that definition:"

Opinion: Trump wins 2024 election. America needs to admit it's not 'better than this.'
Donald Trump won, and I never want to hear the words 'America is better than this' again. I never want to be told about America's better angels., USA TODAY (USA TODAY)
"Get your passport. Today. It takes time to come in and getting an updated gender marker will likely be shut down under Trump. - Update every ID your state allows you to. - Make sure you have a supply of medication in case of disruption - If you have a trans kid that is stealth, consider maintaining stealth to get around enforcement of anti-trans laws."
It's going to get very bad for some of us, quickly. Because others have chosen this for us.
Seeing how the Trumpists are about to take charge of the government (including our intelligence agencies), it's probably best to start familiarizing yourself with things like the 5/9/14 Eyes agreements and adjust your online behavior accordingly.

#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!

"Tens of millions of #Trump voters support his program, yes, but the voters who pushed him over the edge into victory were essentially casting protest votes.
The #Democrats have done everything they could to associate themselves with the ruling order: moving their politics to the right, shifting support away from supposed “leftists” within their ranks, demobilizing protest movements. It turns out that this was a losing wager at a time when people are hungry for change."

...zutrifft, sieht das zunächst gut aus. (Im Übrigen hat die gesamte #LGBTQIA+-Gruppe wohl kaum eine andere Wahl als geschlossen #Harris zu wählen, vermutlichca. 2% der Bevölkerung).
#Trump wird vermutlich jedoch das #Wahlergebnis dennoch wie das von 2020 nicht anerkennen. Da er den Obersten Gerichtshof in der Tasche hat ist das Endresultat möglicherweise länger ungewiss, ebenso wie erneute Unruhen wie am 6. Januar 2021 bei der Erstürmung des #Kapitol|s durch radikalisierte Trump-Anhänger.

Young said he was surprised to hear #ElonMusk describe the giveaway as random at the #Trump rally. He also acknowledged that the winners signed NDAs preventing them from speaking about the terms of the contracts.
Musk's giveaway falls in a gray area of #ElectionLaw, & legal experts are divided on whether #Musk could be violating federal laws against paying people to register to #vote.
