2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[Poetical Poltergeist]

I'm your protector. No one will grab you by the p*ssy unless you want them to. Fortunately or unfortunately.

Dems need a firewall of about 400,000 here... 25 days left and its almost halfway there. Wow.

If I understand right, in PA, there is at most 400k more republican in-person voters so that's why Dems need that much of a difference in mail-in votes as a buffer ?

 

[mastermind]

why would leftists accused anyone of not being able to cope about a "inevitable" red wave?

It’s a statement that’s not based in any reality.

I think extremely popular is a stretch. I can count on one hand how many people I know own teslas.

People see him for what he is, an eccentric billionaire. He has impact swaying public opinion similar to a Bill Gates or Mark Cuban which is to say a little but not much. If somebody likes Musk enough to subscribe to his world view they're probably already a Trump voter

I think this is another case of someone thinking their timeline is real life. Among people who could probably use less screen time, for better or worst, Elon Musk IS quite popular.

But for a LOT of average people, they just know that he's the Tesla guy, he bought Twitter for no real reason and people didn't like it, and he's a little weird. That's about it.

What I don't understand is that for a lot of the people they're trying to reach, the association doesn't entirely make sense. A large portion of his fortune is based on electric vehicles, and they've spent a not insignificant amount of time demonizing electric vehicles.

If this is true this isn’t gonna go how he thinks it is.

 

[mastermind]

And yet Texans keep voting him in

Texas makes it hard for people to vote. You don’t realize that until you live here.

Will this be cult meeting or another self inflicted disaster by Trump...

Texas makes it hard for people to vote. You don’t realize that until you live here.

They want to badly be like Alabama and have no early voting.

 

[acri1]

Yep, it's going to be some bullsh!t.

It's going to be goofy Trumpettes saying stuff like, "As a woman, I feel that you're a protector. How will you protect us against the communist Democrats that want trans women to rape us real women?"

Yeah, I doubt that tactic works for women but he might earn @the cac mamba vote

What I don't understand is that for a lot of the people they're trying to reach, the association doesn't entirely make sense. A large portion of his fortune is based on electric vehicles, and they've spent a not insignificant amount of time demonizing electric vehicles.

Same reason Trump is a rich privileged a$$hole (and always was) but he has millions of poor/working class white people convinced he's of them.

As long as you bash the people they resent they'll overlook anything else.

Will this be cult meeting or another self inflicted disaster by Trump...

Cult meeting.

It's on FOX News, they won't let anyone on that's unfriendly to Trump.

 

[the cac mamba]

that all-women trump town hall is gonna be a disaster

 

[Robbie3000]

This has never been a winning issue for Republicans though. It's really never actually hurt Democrats.

Like there is some contingent out there sitting on the fence just waiting for Dems to say men shouldn’t play women sports.

 

[MushroomX]

She better hush up about the Furries. Those folks run a ton of Gov. Systems and IT Networks.

Didn't Al Gore distance himself from Bill Clinton in 2000? Ironically, I think that was one of the reasons Gore lost.

Anyway, Kamala can't realistically run away from Biden. She is his VP, and she helped pass many of his key legislation and nominations (by breaking ties in the Senate).

As some have pointed out, it's Biden himself that is unpopular (mainly due to his age and bumbling) and not so much his policies.

Bill Clinton was popular in 2000. There were even small rumors he wanted a constitutional amendment to run a third term.

Opposite of Biden.

Exactly
