It's so fucking crazy this whole situation - I live in Europe yet somehow it feels like this election will influence not only the states but Europe as well..and I find that kind scary..

So if you Americans please could change the way your politics work, that' would be much appreciated!

"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every 4 years" says France's Europe Minister.

American politics affect everyone, and yeah they have an outsized impact on Europe because they embolden y'all's right wing demagogues too.

Trump's influence can be felt around the world already with the right gaining ground everywhere. No matter who wins the election, Trump won already, no need to be president a second time.

I think it's more correlation than causation, Russian interference being the common cause.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

That's one thing, the adoption of his rhetoric by right wing candidates all over the world is a different issue though

[-] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago

Trump is not original, most right-wingers in Europe copy Putin and Hitler, so does Trump in a lot of ways.

[-] Botzo@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

The underlying problem is that the winners have no motivation to change the system.

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Lining in Canada. I agree.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 years ago

I wouldn't be surprised if he already has.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Oh course he already has.

[-] Mostly_Gristle@lemmy.world 71 points 2 years ago

They fucking better, because he's definitely going to.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

And Republicans will do everything legal and illegal to get the presidency

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And then declare the illegal legal in hindsight via the Supreme Court.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 42 points 2 years ago

Just a reminder that as a seditionist trump is ineligible to hold office.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 38 points 2 years ago

Just because you claim you won something does not mean it's a fact. And almost ALL republicans are liars.

[-] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Which would be an insane generalization if they weren't basically kicking people like Liz Cheney out of their party for failing to tell the right lies.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Shoot him in the face a lot?

[-] twistypencil@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

But they have a plan for Johnson.?

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Yeah, wait until the next Congress when he's not speaker.

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

They will be cheating at the state level to make sure they hold power in congress. That's part of their plan.

[-] londos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Would love to know the plan against this https://youtu.be/EySCQI3WEi0

[-] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

Ignore him? Keep counting?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You know, if I had any influence over like law enforcement, I'd tell em something like "Yeah, we lost. But guys, this is a great opportunity to flex - on the people who screwed it up most for us. The damn ass hats that kept saying the quiet part out loud!" Or summer shit that like
