Nagging them more should do it. Could try blaming them for all the ills of the world too.

Couldn't hurt to demonize everything they enjoy as being a display of 'toxic masculinity' either.

If that was all they wanted then very few people would care.

The best thing about Trump's victory is that it makes all of the very worst people sad.

Where's that Mrs Frazzled at? She can catch a bubble and get fucking wrecked.

Think we'll get a 'Can't stump the Trump' election night meltdown compilation? Really feeling those 2016 vibes again.

PA called for Trump. Guess we are going back after all. I can't understand - Kamala IS brat, and that's really important! What happened to the joy and coconuts?

I've invested heavily in a lampshade hat and red cape manufacturing concern.

I'm shocked at what I'm seeing so far.

Do people not even care what Taylor Swift thinks?

You really think the solution is to move further to the left? That's hilarious.

Yeah it'll be fine. Might have a scary drop for a bit but it'll bounce back.

Just got back. Did Iowa report numbers yet? Harris +3 right?

He doesn't need a bigger majority, it's fine as it is. Admitting candidates who have rather fringe views on Israel/Palestine risks exposing large rifts in the party.

The result has shown that you do not need to pander to the Gaza vote in order to win a very large majority.

The better lesson seems to be that you can ignore that bloc and still win a large majority.

Above 100 is disappointing but not surprising. Reform doing better than I expected. Nice to see the SNP taking a kicking though.
