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.

That’s for the maximum amount of protection, but it continues to protect afterwards. It’s not a cliff edge.

He was a shit President, but all the doommongering about how WWIII was about to begin never happened. Because he was just shit and incompetent.

The next four years will be similar.

I am very, very, very vaccinated, but I’m still not comfortable unmasked.

I genuinely don’t understand this attitude. The vaccines work, very well in fact. Yet people are still paranoid about COVID.

Why would you be worried after being protected?

Lemmy is going to be insufferable for the next four years, isn’t it? Hysteria is already through the roof.

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

It’s based on recognisable names. “Harris” is quite generic, whereas Kamala is instantly recognisable.

The similar situation in the UK was when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister. He was often referred to as Boris, as opposed to Johnson.

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”.
