YOU are speaking!

Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?

Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.

Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.

Maybe this is the view of a non-USian, but: If you are serious about somebody being Hitler or wanting to end democracy, you don't tread them like Trump was treated. Absurd technicalities so campaigns could call him a convict, but not actually putting him behind bars for breaking the rules these people supposedly care so much about? This was all messaging to shore up support and donations from snobby suburbanites and white collar losers. I am not an expert on the justice department, but this reads like just dont want to prosecute even though the Dems' message, who were supposedly running the governmental machine, was: "It's us or fascism" https://apnews.com/article/trump-jan-6-justice-department-classified-documents-01c2d54177d7c949f62a15604a27b3e0

I get it might not be easy but nobody can tell me yet why the guy behind something as mythologized as Jan 6 can just run for president again like it was some fucking retry, even after his idiot pork herd stampeded through the American Volkshalle
