@@justanotherinternetwiseguy8018Men’s bodily autonomy typically is shared for both men and women (besides the draft) so anything targeting the healthcare of men would likely just be a general healthcare issue I feel like if there was something more specific, say, the draft was removed a while ago or included women, and then suddenly was recently overturned to return or dis-include women again, perhaps a lot more men would understand Then again most men and women who are anti abortion have religious ties. That’s really about it. No care for what happens to children after they’re born though. Had their been some consistency in reforming foster care and adoption systems or generally speaking the quality of life for children of either poorer backgrounds or lack of permanent guardians, jt would have made sense. The same people voting Trump or for anti abortion laws won’t even support increasing taxes in order to support free school meals for all pupils in education. It’s ironic

[@batatanna]

​​@@dippledopple religious people, especially Christians being anti abortion is so dumb. The Christian faith only started being anti-abortion recently. Most people then believed abortion was fine because the soul would only be present in the time of birth, because otherwise miscarriages would contradict the principle of God's benevolence and also send some souls directly to wait for final judgement without having a chance to prove themselves. Basically by being anti-abortion because "it's murder" they are acknowledging their god is evil.

seeing so many articulate people say confidently we are not going back and seeing it happen so quickly has given me so much hope! i reached out to a friend in my city to get involved in city council meetings. looking forward to encouraging those around me to be the resistance.

[@cichyALBUSprod]

Thank you for being a level-headed voice in a sea of (validly) panicked voices. I needed a video like this. Thank you.

The most important thing right now is maintaining hope

Which is gonna be hard cuz a good chunk of people are already hopeless and an even bigger chunk is telling them they should be hopeless cuz their gonna lose a lot of stuff bout now

I have a right leaning friend (He has several friends from both sides himself so I'm sure he had this conversation several times) and he was sympathetic and understood my feelings and wants me to always come to him as far as my despair, but said Dems name calling in the usual way of calling the other side sexist and racist etc etc is wrong - he does say this as a Hispanic guy it's important to note. What am I supposed to think and say when the racist comedian shit is not even a month old (As if I even had to stick to one thing there)? When every Trump supporter was viciously sexist against Harris and support policies that fly in the face of women's freedom and a man who is a perverted sham? When Vance, who will more likely than not be president himself in a year or so, thinks my decision to be childfree makes me less than nothing? I'm dirt poor and between jobs and struggling economically too, and yet, human rights are not and has not on the chopping block in my mind. I'm crying with a vengeance. Trump and Vance and the rest stand for everything I do not. Absolutely nothing about them I like. I'm in PA which is now a red state sponsored by Elongated Muskrat. Entire family minus me voted for Trump, and we're a disabled family on a housing voucher, everything Trump hates in Americans. This feels like a joke. The "eating cats and dogs"/"Dems control the weather" guy is in charge of the direction of the human race courtesy Project 2020We'reSoScrewed5. I dunno. I'm an optimist by nature but this is killing me. I plan to ignore the news for once and scrape whatever I can for donating to women's shelters, Palestinians and green energy initiatives when I'm working again. I'd prefer to move to a country with ideals I can believe in and be proud of, but I'm here, so I'll try to leave it better than I found it.

[@listentotheanimalscreamsha1511]

I've always lived and been around Latin people. A lot of them check off white for race and identify with White. They will vote white. They don't care about how their vote will affect their people. They want to sit at a white men's table. Not all of them think this way but a lot of them feel this way.

[@theshampion]

I’ve been watching videos about this election turn out all day, and this is honestly the best one I’ve seen so far. Fight on!

[@tiaraalicia6510]

I love the literary break down beloved 😫🤍🤍

I've done volunteering for certain avenues (mostly environmental), but I'm going to switch more to community based volunteer work. I won't let them break me, I will keep helping those around me especially those who are very likely going to have it much worse than me soon.

[@NatCat102]

Damn near cried at that closing message. I needed that positivity and a more proactive outlook. We can all get through this together. Much love to all of you.

Organizing because not only are we stronger together, but demonstrates that we have more in common and more to gain together.

Are you saying At Least 11% of the American population graduated colleges and can’t name the 3 branches…? I had to go back and check that part multiple times to make sure I wasn’t crazy. Oh lord help

[@roseesthetic]

He’s good a selling a vision, because of that people from both sides wanted to vote for him, and think he can fix it (the economy) when he’s not.

[@sallyd3700]

What vision was he selling? Whining? The only vision from the GOP was ugly hate.

[@scorpionqueen11]

This is my favorite corner of the Internet, I swear. I was waiting for your take as I knew it would be a restorative one because there's so much doom and gloom surrounding this election and rightfully so. However, if we recede in grief or infight with our POC/queer folks who voted for Trump, we get NOWHERE. Community was necessary then and it's vital now. We WILL get through this. Thank you, Herby, and I love ya back! ❤

And Democrats needed to be louder about the policies that they pass...MAKE IT KNOWN AND CALL THE PRESS. pist about it on socal media if they dont put their progress in our faces we wont see it.

[@GYARUKPOP]

So true, that's why people like trump win, they're louda and even though they're wrong, people don't care enough to see it unless there is something even louder talking about it.

[@ihatetheheat4524]

Overall her campaign wasn't good, people underestimate or didn't realize that many Hispanic/Latino people are conservative along with other cultures of color. Along with the Isreal support, didn't say what she'd do for the working class that was convincing. I voted for her knowing she wasn't going to win.

[@officialnonij]

This election just happened. So no, there will not be a lot of hope and solutions today or maybe even this week. People are pissed and rightfully so (especially black women and black LGBTQIA+ people). People need time to be angry, we just can’t become apathetic. I know we always want to get up and move and organize and I love that about us, but that will also be our biggest downfall. We have so much ancestral and current trauma and this election result is bringing up a lot of those emotions. Sometimes you just need to stop and assess. Feel your feelings. Cry, scream, laugh in disbelief, get angry, AND THEN move forward. (I know you know all this so this comment wasn’t for you specifically Herby, but for anyone who wants and needs to read it). Be well my beautiful resilient Black people. All is not lost. We will be fine like always, but take the time needed to settle your emotions and focus on your mental health.

that why we must continue the fight for our freedom and the future for our children.

[@GreatValueDianaVreeland]

I dont know whats going to happen. But whatever does please do everything you need to take care of yourselves, so that you may help others. People are going to depend upon each other whatever happens. And know you arent alone, there are many people who feel the same way we do. One day this will pass, when I dont know, but it will as all governments (especially fascist ones) do. I dont know what the world will be like when that happens. But it will be different. Maybe even worse some in ways. Maybe not. Maybe even better in others. Maybe not even in our lifetime. But people down the line will live in that world some day. And we must do what can when we can and how we can to make it as bright as we can. I have lost all faith in America and its institutions, but I will not lose the urge the utter desire to at least try. I know this may seem naive. But damnit I must believe. I must believe so that I may try. To believe so that I may at least be able to say that I tried is worth it to me.

[@janethdx]

I appreciate you focusing on education, instead of blame. "What can we learn from this so our next steps are better illuminated?" should be our focus.

This is a fantastic video! The actions described here are exactly what we need, and the mindset is perfect! Take time to grieve, keep your neighbours close, keep yourself safe.

I’m still shocked the turnout rate for voting was 50%? Or less? Do Americans not just care enough to vote

[@kelsynicole9135]

Correct, most Americans do not care because they think it doesn’t affect them or their vote won’t matter.

[@JamesTheTurnbull]

As someone who didn't vote, I didn't like what either was selling me. Whoever got in, the results were the same: work, scrounge up savings, and age. The half baked policies, gaslighting from everyone, the celebrity glazing. I'm just...tired and numb to it.

[@matiqueedwards2269]

​@@JamesTheTurnbullthat might be true ,but it's always worse under one than the other.And in this case the power is innthe hands of those who the economy always does worst under so. Those poor people that voted for trump, and people like u who didn't vote , if he makes the economy worse understand u not participating played a part.Like even if u think they both are the same u could actually get poorer under the trump administration.

[@JamesTheTurnbull]

@@matiqueedwards2269 I'd rather not play on what if's. And that's the gaslighting I'm talking about. I could have been poorer with her too. Taxes and APR rates are atrocious no matter who you choose.

[@TweetyPrincess91]

Sis, we are judging... With that being said, I appreciate your take on the matter. As an adult, it's your responsibility to educate yourself. Donald knows his base is uneducated & hateful, and he used that AGAINST them.

i think what really hurts my heart, is that american's care so little for each other, for themselves, and maybe for their children. they voted against their own interests because for some reason they've convinced themselves that a pre pandemic economy will return under trump, crazy.

[@kah023]

Thank you for this video, I also want to hold space for you to experience any vulnerability you have. I'm not giving up on us at all, this is very tiring but I can't give up on what keeps us alive and that is being together through it all

[@Vernn-um8xt]

I really needed to hear this. I spent all day yesterday mopping, could barely leave my dorm to go to class (and I got to a PWI so me and some of my friends + roommate were scared to be on campus for too long). But as minorities, especially the blk community, we will never have a savior in the realm of American politics, it is up to us to not continue these systems but to dismantle them at their core. Start doing you're research on local groups that align with your well-being and others and your local politics in general. As Herby said, we ain't going back!

[@nmoomoo]

Thank you for this video. It explained the issue of economics really well. I'm not American so I was really confused as to how this happened.
