When anger is expressed at the voting booth. They doomed millions to economic hardship or death. They did this to all of us as well as themselves. Sympathy can be found between sh*t and syphilis and the dictionary. At the same time, none of us wanna go through what they’ve consigned us to. on that basis, I really don’t want it to happen even though the very worst is in the works.

Thanks for this great thread! I'm finding my "fuck you optimism" in conversation lately. It's kind of a "how DARE they" type tone. Fine tuning but yeah. Fuck these guys. No.
"Americans Have One Very Strange Cognitive Bias."
"Uninformed” Americans, which likely make up 1/3 - 1/2 of the US, are making decisions, esp. as voters, with wildly inaccurate information, that are probably based on “news” & preconceived ideas, from the media *esp. RW media, social media & their friends & family. Ds must find a way to educate the electorate. The study was from 2022, but the perceptions haven’t likely changed.

Musk & other wealthy ppl bought the election:
1000s of IDU donors spent >$425M into the gen. election this year. Nearly 2/3 of that - boosting Rs.
Donors bet on the GOP *paid off. The election saw a flood of contributions from crypto/banking/labor.
Of the $140M spent by TRANSP interests this cycle, Musk: $133.2M.
The corp. PAC funded by employees for SpaceX: TRANSP’s 5th-largest PAC spender on the election, $317K to a mostly R slate of congress. candidates.

Scott Bessent had an inconsistent performance with his hedge fund's assets. He's scored with Trump. Bessent's Key Square Cap. Mgt put on bets that US stocks & the$ would gain, Nov: best month.

How many people do you think understand, when they see the all the recent alerts about food in the U.S. being recalled for listeria, e coli, etc., that if the GOP has its way not only will there be no one in the government to investigate outbreaks, determine their sources, and issue recalls, there also will be no one to inspect factories to enforce the regulations which stop most foodborne illness outbreaks before they start.

In light of the instability and chaos which is coming to the U.S. and the world, here's what my wife and I have decided to do with our retirement savings:
20% will stay at Vanguard, invested in an appropriate retirement target fund.
10% will be invested in a gold ETF.
10% will be invested in a silver ETF.
(not sure yet whether those ETFs will be held by Vanguard or elsewhere)

She's not a sex fiend like Gaetz, but Trump's second pick for AG is arguably more capable of carrying out his autocratic revenge agenda.

Maybe Tulsi isn't a Russian asset. Maybe Putin just likes her because she's a racist endorsed by David Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan...
Tulsi Gabbard sent Mitt Romney a "cease and desist" letter for accusing her of "treasonous lies" and being a "Russian asset." Tulsi praised Putin/Russia and attacked Zelenskyy. Tulsi also blamed Biden, Ukraine, and NATO for Putin's war. Tulsi is, in fact, a treasonous Russian Asset!
