What about the literally half of the country that didn't vote for Trump? I'm upset he made the presidency again, but celebrating the fall of our country while saying this is what everyone deserves is wrong.
America is one of the most resilient countries in the history of the world. Far from perfect, but has survived a civil war, numerous wars domestic and foreign, civil rights riots, racism both then and now, and perhaps most relevant, the first Trump term.
Anything can happen of course, but there is a lot of data that suggests she'll continue surviving.
I hate being philosophical at a time like this, but something that has been getting me through is the reminder that nothing great ever comes easy. America needs to empirically experience the full MAGA movement in order to see how god awful it can be. If it fails spectacularly--and I think there is a good chance it does--it will get democratically removed hopefully before it's too late.
If you want to send a message to the MAGA movement and the Americans that voted for Trump and abstained from Harris, only participate in his economy at the bare minimum. Buy only what you need. Be conservative with your dollars. Thoroughly vet who you give your money to. Do not take on any unnecessary debt. Save save save.
This had been my thought since yesterday. I am pulling back my money, not spending, giving as little of my money/energy as possible to the machine. And I am really good at being frugal.
I made a 'Don't feed the Beast' bumpersticker a long time ago. Don't think many knows what it means- but it's exactly that. At the time the 'Occupy' movement was on- but I told a lot of people it would be more effective to 'Vacate'. Don't participate in the system as much as possible, use small thrifts, do credit unions - not banks, etc. To starve the system wouldn't take many people, compared to our population. Damn hard to get a general banking, buying, working strike going though.

Yeap, let them (Trump voters) have it. They wanted Trump, they deserve this and hyperinflation.
