    US election comments

    I’m very dismayed by the US election result. I wouldn’t have been shocked at a trump win, I thought it would be close so was a possibility. But was not mentally prepared for a such a large margin. So many Americans want this? I would like to think they didn’t understand what they were really voting for. I have a sinking feeling thinking about what the next four years might have ahead both for Americans, and globally for places like Ukraine and the Middle East.

      they have 3 months to set up systems to protect national security systems

      it all depends on the defence forces and intelligence , they have to be protected from corruption

      It’s apparently going to weaken the Australian economy too? Which is fun.

      I want to rage and call Americans stupid, and to be fair a lot of them did buy in to the hate and spin.

      But I think there was also a lot of gerrymandering and ratfuckery at play. And apparently voting in America works differently to Australia. Can’t imagine being a minority in America right now.

      I really hope this doesn’t hasten the Americanisation of Australia or import more crazy bullshit
