It's special, from the outside (I'm not American) to see the USA will go in full blast dictatorship in 2 months. If we believe Trump will do what he said, basically there will be no more future election, no department of education, no FBI, no press freedom, no veteran healthcare, etc and also Hillary, the Biden, Obama, etc will be in jail yada yada.
Will see from the outside, with a popcorn bucket, the shitshow.
From the outside, a lot of people are also saying that USA deserved it because they voted for it, like brexit for instance.
Sorry for you guys ☹️
Well, twenty something percent of citizens voted for him but yes. I don't think it'll be quite as bad as he said since there guard rails, but we apparent voted for a full Congress for him too and hoping "sane" Republicans will save us is a fools errend.
But if 2016 is any indication, it's probably not as bad as brexit, lol. I think we need to leave NATO or something to be that bad. (But, Brits didn't deserve that, either, nor their crappy Tory leadership. They have my sympathy, as anyone conned by evil people should).
It was actually a majority this time, don't forget. Over half of Americans chose Trump.
Not voting was the same as supporting trump directly.
I might be mistaken, but in Norway, if you do not vote, the missing vote will go to the party with the most votes in your region, so technically, not voting is voting for the most popular party.
