Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.

At least I can be super smug to everyone as the country burns around me...

Enjoy paying 200% more for everything.

Enjoy a national abortion ban.

Enjoy having a president Vance in 6 months when Trump threatens the wrong Oligarch

Enjoy having to grease a million hands to get the same government contracts you won on your own merits last year

I could probably keep typing this list for the next 4 years and not run out.

If i would have to live there (and i wouldn't even wanna go on vacay there) I'd probably be equally cynical and bitter. Not much else left to do, other than seeing the comedy in the tragedy.
