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

[VegasCAC]

Now with 4 of the 5 swing states looking likely to elect Democrat Senators, North Carolina electing multiple Dems to state offices, and the possibility of a D House or a very slim R majority, it appears that liberal politicians and policies were not the issue.

The issue was the unpopularity of the Biden admin, Kamala's refusal to break from him, and her refusal to activate her base by running a normal, liberal, non-centrist campaign.

Voters said, Dems are cool, but Harris is not

 

[CrimsonTider]

We have been saying this for months and even years

I kept saying immigration is not partisan. The Biden administration shouldn’t be doing the opposite of Trump on immigration because it looks like they’re opposing evil

It made no sense to give Trump a win on immigration

This isnt why she lost , she lost due to the fukking economy. Those people that convinced already has bigoted perceived notions of her.

She didn’t even campaign on trans issues. Republicans were using her old quotes to attack her

Or republicans are unpopular but Trump is not

Or republicans are unpopular but Trump is not

The two are inverses of each other

There is something to say about Trumpism without Trump: it's failed everywhere it's been tried on the national level.

He really is evil Obama for white people, a once in a generation personality whose personal brand of politics only works for him

S/o to warlord biden, being a zionist is more important then winning

I think once things cool down with time, historians will be pulling out their hairs trying to understand Biden's support of a war in the middle east in an election year.

Woke up this morning and I thought i had been dreaming since I didn't sleep for shyt Tuesday night.

What a fukkin nightmare

I'm saying there are millions of people that don't know anything about economics, are very reactive and gullible to misinformation. These aren't all your diehard MAGA people. They are regular people of all races. You have to educate them for months and years. Yes, some of them might stay on for other reasons, but other could be converted.

What we have learned in the age of fake news is that you have to be willing to be gullible.

Information is easily verifiable today. We are passed the time where politicians could lie and no one could look into it.

These people want to be lied to, and from where i sit, there must be some motivation for them to be willfully gullible.

That's how the GOP felt after 2012 but then Trump came along and took over the party. The Democrats will bounce back once Trump destroys the country but the question is how bad will it get over the next four years...

If trump didn't take over they would have lost the last 4 times straight.

Trump bout to get they ass outta here. Dumb dumbs

 

[the next guy]

Yes it is. I was listening to clips for the last 48 hours.

The trans issue was the biggest ad run trump did and it speaks to something essential that stops other convos from being had. People do not support that community, their stance on child transition or pariipcation in girls sports.

You can’t have it both ways. Do you support child gender transitions or trans participation in girls sports or surgeries in jails for gender affirmation?

Which is it? Either it’s not an issue or you support it.

it was the economy

And we said this after 2016 as well.

Shyt got fccked up for people to come out in 08 and 2020.

Like you said Dems. will bounce back, but the question will be how fccked will the climate be by midterms 2026 and Election 2028
