For the last several years I have actively discouraged friends and family from moving to the USA. My sole advice to my cousins and aspiring nephews to migrate for jobs or masters has been to reconsider and either go somewhere else or stay put in India. I and my friends often talk about that if we were 22 today none of us would have considered coming here for a better future. Today I am vindicated because I did the right thing for all of them. My advice to my remaining cousins in USA is going to be the same – if they don’t have kids or young kids, and are in visa/GC queue – leave.

An ex-Muslim colleague of mine that I had blogged about a few days ago in California gleefully texted me about Trump win this morning and that we should connect this evening. He’s been pinging me about helping him get a job. I was like I am not in a mental space to talk after outcome and he was like oh you voted Kamala? Needless to say no chatting with him is happening any time soon.

Sorry I am crying and I want to go back home to India so much today.

How much did Gaza impact this election will be something to look for. I wish Biden grew a pair when dealing with Israel. His weakest points for me was when Netanyahu just played him around like a puppy and Biden did… nothing. Not only did it make look Biden and America stupid and weak, but it also said a lot to people out here that Biden/Harris didnt care about the genocide happening there. They were punished for it I am sure.

So i guess Covid ultimately didnt do its job?

Still not reconciling the fact that he got LESS votes than 2020 and still managed to win the popular vote by 6 million votes. Where the fuck did those 18 million people go? They just sat… out?

The difference between white men and white women is white men will vote *for their* interests while white women will consistently vote *against* their interests. Yet again, white women voted in majority for Trump. As I said, this is not a voting bloc you can count on, ever.

I am still in disbelief that 20 million people simply didnt vote. Astounding.

I can’t wait for women’s march next year where everyone will show up way more enthusiastically to protest in DC than last night coz how else will you make your viral tiktok reels?

Assuming elections are still around in 2028, if democrats choose to nominate Pete or Newsom, they will lose again. The electorate is telling us they are not the kind of people they relate to. You know who could win 2028 (again, assuming elections and democracy are around?): John Fetterman. I am not a big fan of him, but he is the most Trumpian democrat there is who *says it as it is*.
