I did not expect Republicans to take the House and the Senate. And the Presidency, and they will put in horrible justicies.
Look I'm the farthest from a Shillary supporter but it would have been much better if Democrats won the Senate.
What will they do first? Will there be any check on their power to push a ton of reactionary bullshit through? Will they revoke gay marriage, Roe vs. Wade?
They'll do some bad stuff. Honestly, that's worse than Trump winning, even for the liberals.
Declare climate change a hoax and make it illegal to talk about it. Also they'll nullify any measure in place against it.
Let the world burn, babay!
Hillary is going to jail, climate change is going to be ignored, gay marriage is going to be repealed, and obamacare is going to be replaced with trumpcare, and workers rights are going to be fucked sideways.
I can't believe this is happening.
What are the fucking odds?
Go away succ dem.
NOPE!
More. Yes.
Nope
More. Yes.
talk about silver linings
Get a check, you might be actually retarded.
Muh new "accelerationism" meme which sole purpose is to somehow control the ass damage from Trump winning the election.
Good
Applies to both candidates

Shit replaced with shit.
Applies to both candidates
Stay spooked son.

This was always going to happen. Shillary was going to fuck workers much worse. At least the Democrats will put up a fight in the senate and the house. Stop trying to make this worse than it is. Shillary would have given you idpol victories. So what? We fight against capitalism. Prepare for hard times. Relish in them.
Why are liberals so terrible?
Why can't we worry about all of it
Obamacare was shit, but it had one good side. Students under the age of 26 could be under the medical insurance of their parents, until they get enough support for themselves to pay for medical insurance.
That no longer exists.
EG, for all of us that effects.
We will now be without medical insurance.
no
how will they do that when they don't control either?
It'll be another four years of nothing in Congress. Maybe the Republican Supreme Court doing retarded things will make Americans realize how terrible of an institution it is, but probably not. What I'm most worried about is the egregious gerrymandering that will inevitably happen in 2020.
You can and probably should, I just found OP's omissions a conspicuous statement of their priorities.
Mind providing a source? Like to read it myself.
Those too of course. I will be without healthcare myself if they repeal Obamacare. I just assume with Pence behind the throne symbolic cultural moves to demoralize liberals will come first.
She was planning to privatize SS. She was going to sign TPP. She was going to sell out to the big banks. How would she not fuck you worse? Trump, for all his faults, cannot get this done because he does not have half of one party and the rest on his side. He does not have the political capital to do these things. Kill yourself.
Delay tactics, just like Republicans had after Ted Kenedy died. Republicans do not have complete control. They need 60 seats for that in the senate, and they do not have that.
I don't have one off the top of my head, but it got a lot of media coverage at the time. It was in the budget the Republicans passed the year they took the house (and, to be fair, probably most of their budgets since.)
You can't go wrong when you follow the dialectics, son.
Republican control is probably for the better, tbh.
Anyone who imagines that Trump really intends to bury the hatchet is delusional. Especially with many prominent supporters already demanding that the God Emperor collect the heads of his enemies (with the Speaker of the House being near the top of that list).
A Democrat controlled House or Senate would happily capitulate to all of Trump's demands, just like they do whenever a Republican is President. With Republicans in control, there is a decent chance that they'll spend the next two years sniping at each other and get nothing done.
this is even more likely with trump
looks like obama will try to pass this before his term is over, if he does there's no way trump will repeal it. even if obama doesn't pass it, there's a good chance republicans will push trump to do it.
again, what makes you think trump isn't going to do this? you know he isn't actually anti-bank right? that was just fascist rhetoric
because trump will do everything she would have done plus repeal obamacare (i know it's shit but millions of people still rely on it) plus probably pass a national right-to-work law and god knows what else
why would he need political capital to do these things when his whole party and some of the dems are already itching to do them anyway?
what are you so upset about? you seem like you've been sipping too much of the fash koolaid and you think trump will actually be good
the democrats have proven time and time again that they don't have the spine or the balls for that kind of thing
No. He doesn't have a filibuster-proof majority in the senate and protecting SS was one of his campaign promises.
Unlikely to happen.
So you're saying it would be fine to get fucked in the ass as long as it was Hillary doing it? Dumbass.
Dems won't want to be seen backing Trump policies.
They will need to do so if they want to keep their seats.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Again, are you saying this wouldn't have happened under Hillary? She was explicitly gunning for that. Trump is a fucking idiot that won't know what to do with all that power. We can oppose him easier. At least when the country is fucked, they won't be able to blame "the left" .
All of the above and then some.
Guess I'll be going to the death camps. They don't like my kind around America any more. I just wish I could have held hands with a qt boyfriend first.
Come to Brazil; you'll be a bit more closer to death, but still…if you want to…
lol sorry but i don't put much faith in donald trump's promises
no? i'm saying trump will be just as bad and probably worse
There's a thing called cloture. Senators don't have to actually filibuster, just say that they want to.
Same on all counts.
You couldn't get any worse than Hillary. At least with Trump, you can expect that he won't wield state power with as much skill as Hillary. This is a victory for us. We can now proceed to bring Liberals up into true leftists. The workers that voted for Trump will be disappointed and they are ours for the taking. Stop trying to make this as some kind of bad thing. This is great.

Actually you could. They're both shit. Implicit approval of one is transparent.
I agree there's potential here but getting too excited over it seems kind of like the German communists who supported Hitler…
Sure, and so what? Trump isn't W. He's so arrogant that he's unlikely to listen to others.
Trump isn't Hitler, but in case he is, grab a gun, stash some ammo, and get fit. We are going to make America socialist. Keep this in mind, and realize that this is an opportunity. We would not have this if Hillary had won.
I honestly think Obamacare will be repealed but I can't say the same about medicare/medicaid since a lot of republicans like those.
People forget congress runs this country and not the president.
Start educating people to vote for democrats in congress now. Election is 2 years away, get ready.
Here's what I'm going to do.
Nothing. If Trump becomes fascist AND comes after me i'll kill myself first.
Acclerationism was a meme before Trump won, lurk moar faggot.
It was good for getting rid of pre-existing conditions.
You should go ahead and do that now. No sense in waiting.
If Trump becomes fascist and comes for me I'm killing as many right wingers as I can. Maybe I'll even get lucky and start an insurrectionist group.
It's been a meme for awhile but it also means more than "give Holla Forums everything they want then do nothing and hope it inspires less pathetically lazy people to organize because I don't want to organize"
So much for smoking weed
So much for being gay
So much for the means of reproduction
Guess we're all going to obey Christian Sharia now. Why yes, the earth is only 6,000 years old, of course!
Whatever do you mean record high temperatures? It's a nice cool day, I'm only slightly melting into a puddle of ooze.
Haha yes, praise Jesus and pass the Starbucks! Of course, I'd love to pay a fee for not using commercial electrical power!
Oh dear, I'm out of a job because I broke my leg. Time to starve! No, I wouldn't think of seeking worker recompense or unemployment, that's welfare queen commie talk! I'll just sit here and rot away, it's the right thing to do since I can't make corporations any money in the condition I'm in!
You are right but it is more like a make or break moment for the left. I just hope. At least any problems the USA will face will not be the dems' fault
