    Private prisons also saw a huge bump in stock prices. GEO Group is up a shocking 26% this morning and CoreCivic—once known as Corrections Corporation of America—is up 20%.

    Wow. A lot of people know what’s coming and don’t give a damn.

    I hate Trump and voted for Harris and I’m spiraling today. That being said, my stocks have gone up $1,700 today, so that’s nice I guess. I don’t have faith that the market will hold for long though.

      And we can thank a lot of the “Holocaust Harris” and “Blue MAGA” “don’t vote for genocide” assholes for that too.

        Does that math check out? How about the math that shows how Harris didn’t even peel off an extra 1 percent of registered republicans, despite pandering so hard to the right.

        No.

        We can thank the Dems and DNC who thought accepting millions in Israeli lobbying was worth handing the country to Trump.

        It’s the Democrats fault, not the voters.

            Devastating: getting caught not reading on the internet

            In my defense, I see Blue MAGA thrown around from both sides of the Palestine situation.

        I don’t think blaming voters is a good idea. There were signals that people would be more likely to vote for Harris if she, for example, agreed to stop sending arms to Israel (more than the voters she’d lose by doing that). The campaign ignored that… if they tell you what they want and you ignore it that’s kinda on you. Trying to rehab the Republican party (“Country over Party”) instead of going out there and hammering home her policy, how she would make things better for voters… there were lots of mistakes made.

          It is almost always the non-voters that are the problem. In this case it was a combination of demographics that just chose not to vote at all which led to Trump winning.

    I’m really not trying to be conspiracy brained, seriously, but won’t the DNC also be making money from a Trump presidency? Stocks/private contracts of the DNC executives aside, don’t they also get huge amounts of donations when they’re the “opposition”?

    I’m not saying they purposely ran a shitty campaign, but they clearly have a “silver lining” for if Trump won compared to us normies. Man, it’s so fucked, please someone give me evidence to the contrary, I beg.
