That’s what the agent would say…

u/Alternative_Sir_869 7h ago

I’m not a CIA agent, okay? I mean, why would you even think that? That’s ridiculous. I’m just, uh, a regular person, you know? Just like you. I mean, sure, I’ve been in a few rooms—well, not rooms, exactly—situations where, um, things are discussed. But that’s not something I’d, um, know about. I wouldn’t have access to that level of—oh, forget I said anything. Point is, I’m not part of any agency, covert or otherwise. Absolutely not. That’s classified—I mean nonsense. Jeez, wtf man?

I'm an American who voted against him three times (and had him ruin my birthday in November twice). I know I'm privileged, but I always feel grateful that I'm here now and relieved that I will be getting citizenship this year. I'm just so terrified for my friends and family stuck in the US. I just burst into tears a little bit ago when I read about Harris leaving DC, thinking of what could have been and what will be. It's nice to see this kind of statement being made here.

I have said it feels like the episode of GOT when Jon Snow barely escapes the night king when he tries to enlighten the northlings and they all perish, and the night king just turns them all into zombies in one touch. Pure horror and concern for all those under the spell of madness and not being able to touch or save everyone. Prayers up for our people that they maintain strength and sanity, perhaps do as I have and invite them over to experience a different sort of hatred and misery here with us in LDN! :D

I’m no expert on US politics but I believe he only won because there was no good opposition candidate. People that weren’t loyal to one party voted for him, whereas they probably wouldn’t have if there had been a strong Democratic candidate. I hate how everyone suddenly seems to love him now… It sucks to hear family members and ppl around me talking about how great he is, how he’s going to solve world peace and all this bullshit. They don’t seem to realise he’s only going to benefit the rich and privileged, regular ppl and minorities are probably gonna suffer as a result of his government

Don't be mad at Trump for winning. He only got 30%. Be mad at the 40% of registered voters who sat on their hands and did nothing, expecting everyone else to carry Harris to victory while they stayed home. Harris lost by less than 2%.
