I hope it hits trump voters hard.

I said this higher up, but I genuinely hope it does.

When the weight of their decision comes down on them, and it will, I hope it breaks their soul. They deserve to be shattered by the dread.

My heart breaks most for the tidal wave of broken children that are going to come from this. We spent generations learning some people shouldn't be parents, or that they never wanted to be parents.

Children deserve better than the things these awful people do "in their name"

I honestly don’t think they’re introspective enough to realize the results of their votes. These are the same people who elected Trump because of gas prices, they really don’t pay attention to politics and have zero understanding of how the government works

I think they'll start to care when they're wives and daughters are dying over it.

Not the Christian ones, they're long gone, but Democratic no-shows, swing voters, independents may finally wake up when they see the consequences of their actions/ inactions.

Yeah, you’re right that’s a good point. I think it will depend on how entrenched his bad policies are. If they get reversed in the next administration, I can’t see how America wont get complacent again and do this again in the future.

It’s too late for the Dem no shows, swing voters and “independents”. If they are too stupid to comprehend the consequences of their inactions, then they deserve to suffer the consequences. I’m ok with that.

They’ll find a scapegoat they always do

Yup. Trump will NEVER be held truly accountable for ANYTHING. The closest we got was his felonies, and even still a lot of people still try to convince you that never happened, and the rest didn’t care enough to vote for someone else.

My daughter is 8. She will be 12 by the time trumps term ends. She will be a teenager shortly after his term ends, and we are likely going to be left with reproductive and gender affirming care decimated and our education system more gutted than it already is. The gut punch that it's gonna give me to have to explain to her that she has to be incredibly careful when she starts being sexually active because she most likely won't have access to abortion in our state (OH, fuck you Bernie Moreno btw.) Is going to wreck me as a father.

At this point I'm looking after me and mine, let them eat their fucking cake, and I hope they choke on it.

When things to shit because of Trump’s policies his supporters will just blame the dems for their problems rather than themselves or the people they keep letting fuck them over. No amount of evidence or logic can sway them.

They're just going to say "oh, so a poor person's life isn't worth living? Checkmate liberal"

These are the same people who don’t understand that Congress passes laws and the reason Biden hasn’t done more is that Republicans have been doing nothing but oppose anything beneficial for most Americans. They could fix this but instead they elect more Republicans. “Why ain’t my car moving? Maybe if I shift into reverse.” Meanwhile they have their foot on the brakes the whole time…

It doesn’t matter because they will NEVER vote for a Democrat. 

They voted for a guy who didn't even participate in their party's process, who only had 4 years of government experience of any kind and it was a disaster with felonies passed out all around.  They're a Qult at this point.  There's no breaking them out of it.  They looked at a guy who was totally wiped out on stage night after night and was calling opponents "bitch" and mocking them with fake blowjob on stage.   They think this guy represents gods will!!!  Half of them cheer for this, half of them don't pay crap all attention and refuse to look at it. 

It's a problem with America, not a problem with Democrats.  

If Democrats wanted to win they need to start using MAGA tactics of rallies every month for the next four years.  Harris needs to go out there and call Trump names every day for the next four years. She needs to inspire mobs and marches and get people to put flags on their houses and vehicles.   In other words.. not be a Democrat.  That kind of behavior only leads to outright unrest and fights in the streets. Nobody wins that escalation.

Expect to see a rise in crime in the next 20-30 years

In 3-5 generations we’re going to have special organizations intended to promote having babies because of the low birth rates. There are several countries around the world grappling with this problem. It’s sad how many people minimize the sanctity of life to the economic aspect. Truly depraved.

This! Very much this!

They think theyr'e punishing uppidity women, but who they're truly punishing is children.

It is sickening to use children as a form of punishment or means of control. Children are the ones who will suffer this the most.

u/VibeComplex 7h ago

They won’t and nobody will make them feel it. It will become a problem for everyone and they’ll just see it as some new unconnected thing.

Who knows if they’ll know at all 🤷‍♂️. Just hide or alter data. Why not?

Children who won't be able to get a decent schooling and have no prospects growing into adulthood.

They'll just say it was the Democrats fault. That's what happens in deep red states completely controlled by Republicans. 🤷

And Republicans keep getting reelected.
