They voted for it, so why would they be mad?

Just tell her that if she’s ever struggling and needs a person to talk to, that she can rely on you.

That demonstrates that you’re a caring person who will be there for her if she needs it.

I asked a similar question to this a couple of weeks ago due to me needing them for work, and I ended up going with the Loop Experience 2 and they’ve been fantastic.

They dampen the sound around me but I can still hear voices clearly, and they’re really comfortable and I barely notice I’ve got them in.

Hopefully not another Libya, but I fear it will be another Libya.

I wasn’t being serious. Someone like Putin should be in jail.

I don’t support the death penalty.

Not really.

Well, maybe Vladimir Putin, but he’s literally a war criminal.

Yes, killing a man in cold blood by gunning him down in the street.

What a joyous occasion.

“Are we out of touch with our core voters?”

“No, it’s the voters who are wrong”.

This will probably be how the Democrats regroup after the loss.

Trump is the worst dictator ever, seeing as he literally got voted out last time and could do nothing about it.

“You don’t make the poor richer by making the rich poorer”.

Demonizing people who disagree with you makes them dig in their heels and elect the dangerous candidate and party, in spite of their best interests. Demonizing those people feels satisfying and necessary in the moment, but it ultimately backfires.

The so-called enlightened people can’t be counted on to vote. (I say this as one of those so-called enlightened people, albeit not in your country and therefore unable to shift the balance with you.)

Until you folks figure these two things out, this is your new reality.

This is absolutely right. There’s been an arrogance and complacency from moderate parties in the West over the last 20 years, assuming that the electorate will just automatically vote for them regardless. Now they’ve got to try and get these people back from the extremes, which is going to be harder to do than if they hadn’t taken them for granted before.

It’s part of a trend of a significant portion of the electorate feeling ignored. It’s a trend that’s happening in large parts of the West, we’re seeing it in Europe too in places like France and Germany.

Now you can argue about whether these people have a genuine grievance or not. But if we don’t try and address the underlying causes of these people abandoning moderate parties, we’re going to see more and more extreme candidates and parties being successful. And I don’t think that’s something any of us want.

The American Constitution will stop him doing a lot of things people are scared of.

People on Lemmy will tell you it’s going to disappear because orange man wants to kill everyone, or something.

What is likely to happen is nothing.

Yes, there’s an awful lot of hysteria about Trump, when in reality he’s just a shit president.

Thank you for being patronising, I understand it perfectly well.

I’m trying to bring a semblance of reality to the mass hysteria.

“Known bullshitter spreads bullshit”.

He said all this kind of nonsense the last time he ran. He’s just a stereotypical “big man” who just says any old shit for attention.

This doesn’t really make sense.

He has won because more people voted for him in a democratic election. That’s literally democracy in action.

You might not like the result (it’s frankly bizarre from an outsider’s POV), but that doesn’t mean “democracy is dead”.

Or just talk about her policies: https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50802-harris-vs-trump-on-the-issues-whose-policies-do-voters-prefer

It’s actually incredible how they tried to copy Hilary Clinton’s campaign tactics of endorsements and warnings about Trump.

That didn’t work last time. Why would it work now?
