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

I feel vindicated but sad about it. Told people on here jan 6 and court cases don't mean shyt and abortion isn't a bigger deal than the economy smh

When someone tries to overthrow the government by force, you don’t use it as something to campaign on. It’s an act of war that requires a wartime response. Making it about the capitol cops getting beat up instead of one side of the aisle rejecting the premise of democracy convinced a lot of people it wasn’t a big deal.

Run a 2020 Biden campaign. Specific enough?

Considering she said she wouldn't change anything from Biden, no. lol

worst part of this is that ignorance prevails. Fake news and alternate facts won.

History will call this the age of misinformation

The Gen Z thing is a very interesting aspect of this election.

I was very skeptical of Trump's strategy of turning out low propensity young men. But it worked, and spectacularly.

Why?

My guess is 1. material conditions for young people are the worst they've been since WWII. They've been given a promise of what life is like that simply is not matching up to the lifestyles their parents and grandparents had. So they are more invested in politics than they ever have been before.

2. the right wing has effectively captured a huge youth audience through online propoganda.

Democrats will have to address both of these issues if they want to win next time.

Now we talking

When I saw exit polling last night and abortion was only the third most important issue to voters I thought that means she’s in huge trouble

Dems need to walk away from illegals and fringe groups. Mexicans don't give a fukk about illegals or dreamers, this has been trending line this for some time.

2028 is gonna be interesting I wonder who their nominee will be. They have to find someone who wins the Rust Belt who is probably a White male. Someone like Tim Walz but without the weirdness

Oh yeah @MAKAVELI25 that's another thing...having a VP "TAMPON TIM" who proudly talked about being a tampon boy ready to put tampons in girls bathrooms was very weird for the Democrats

I don't care what they say I know alot of people found that weird

media and the Justice Department failed us. Most people still don't really grasp the seriousness of that coup attempt.

 

[WTFisWallace?]

@FAH1223 whats your opinion on cali and ny trending to the right ? This is super concerning

The shyt that Clinton and Biden get for the crime bill is deserving but seems so hypocritical the same time.

I got friends that kill Biden for that shyt on a monthly basis, but will lean towards the 'tough on crime', push back on the cash bail reforms, etc......that cozy up to the Reagan, Bush Sr, Trump type of rhetoric. But then'll get mad when rhetoric is carried out on them

 

[ghostwriterx]

The biggest problem for the Dems going forward is that you're dealing with a cult and you have to treat it as such. An appeal to reason with "facts" doesn't work.

 

[Frump]

That’s crazy

 

[Smoking With Cigarettes]

Despite how awful this is one of few glimmers of hope is now more than ever the Dems are going to have to be open to new ideas and voices. We all have our own spheres of influence and its going to be crucial we leverage them where we can. We know now without a doubt that grassroots campaigns get better results than Super-PAC run ones so we have to take this shyt back to the fundamentals. Win local elections, shape the state legislature, and work towards keeping those around us informed. Its not sexy work but its on all of us as individuals to combat misinformation

Andy Beshear was the answer

 

[Frump]

I now wonder if it would have been better off if Trump won in 2020 and he’d be done by now

 

[King Kreole]

Are the protests going to continue or will there be capitulation?

I don't know what's going to happen, but I plan on being in the streets again.

Feminism died when the cost of buying a home skyrocketed.

Exactly . The point of the American dream is to have a nuclear family with a picket fence. Who would have thought that pushing women to be exactly like men and removing gender roles completely from the social fabric would then in turn alienate young men who were raised with parents with the complete opposite values
