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

[Pull Up the Roots]

I've been noticing this for a while now. A lot of Gen Z spit out right wing talking points under the guise of 'progressivism,' and that's to say nothing of the outright right-wingers who probably follow people like Adin Ross, Sneako and Logan Paul.

I'm not even necessarily saying it's their fault. We see that it's actually very easy to get indoctrinated with right wing media, without even realizing it's happening.

This has become a trend across different spaces, especially gaming, where these right-wing talking points are mixed in under a progressive guise. Popular influencers from gaming, to comics, to movies, and so on, have been blending entertainment with divisive ideas (through things like hate watching and "anti" content), making these regressive viewpoints seem rebellious or anti-establishment.

Social media algorithms are also responsible for amplifying sensational and edgy content that gives these voices even more reach, especially among young people exploring their identities and beliefs. It's like a digital indoctrination. I personally make a conscious effort to avoid all of this, but still get recommendation from the likes of Ben Shapiro, Rogan, Peterson, and so on. It's inescapable. It's insidious. It's perfect, because the appeal of anti-establishment rhetoric resonates with Gen Z. They interpret these right-wing talking points as challenges to the "woke" establishment they've been groomed to hate.

All that meme culture and dark humor shyt blurs the line between satire and sincerity, making these extreme ideas easier to digest or even laugh off. It obligates a person's sense of what's right, wrong or even true. Everything is now a joke. And nothing is serious. The gaming industry after that gamergate shyt, led to a strong sense of identity in these typs, which has given birth to a toxic form of gatekeeping, where diverse and inclusive changes feel like unwelcome intrusions. Online gaming communities with no moderation allow extremist views to spread, and the male-dominated nature of these spaces gives hyper-masculine "alpha" narratives even more traction. The move from moderated bulliten boards and forums to platforms like Discord and other decentralized platforms have been a great help in spreading this message.

You can't forget the red-pill shyt either. The packaging of divisive ideas as hidden truths has lead to the creation of an atmosphere where right-wing perspectives thrive, seemingly in the name of "authentic" fandom and critical thinking, and that is effecting everyone regardless of generation. I don't know how we're going to deal with this.

As the results come in, I think we are going to see that Trump didn't win any new votes. He got 74 million votes in 2020 and probably will get around that number in 2024.

What the real story is that Harris alienated her own base trying to win mythical non-existent Republican swing voters, and instead lost 20 million members of her own base.

Stay home because you feel alienated and end up getting Donald Trump part 2 electric boogaloo, brehs

Yep. This will turn out to have been a very winnable election. Just needed to tell the Dem consultants and aspiring Clyburn staffers to fukk off.

But her share of the white vote grew. she got a larger share the white vote than Biden and Obama 2012.

The share of black men and Asians voting for Trump also grew.

The racism cries are bizarre since Trump legit got the most racially diverse GOP coalition in decades and Kamala got more white voters than any Democratic President since Bill Clinton.

Also saying it’s not about policies is cope. Shorty had no vision for America except forward, or whatever she said. Her keystone plan was to give up to 25k for first time homebuyers, a position many people are not able to do.

Why not run on raising the minimum wage to $18 or even $20? Why not drop a real health care plan aimed at l diseases instead of “studying sickle cell anemia”?

She tried but she don’t have the juice.

It's fukking stupid, but it's her job to appeal to those stupid people, and she didn't. She was palling around with Liz Cheney instead.

They stayed home because they didn’t want to vote for a black women not because she didn’t declare a position on something

 

[TEKBEATZ]

Wow Georgia is the reddest out of all states.

 

[the cac mamba]

i'm interested to see when we get the hard numbers, and see who voted for who compared to 2020

 

[VegasCAC]

That's going to be the main intra-party fight in the aftermath of this election.

Will Democrats continue to accept the centrist consultant class that has failed them time and time again, and delivered fascism to their doorstep?

Will they realize that running to the right doesn't work and never will? That this isn't 1992? Or will they double down on just becoming Republicans of the 2004 era?

These fukking idiots, these fukking petulant children, these ideological lunatics who gave us two terms of a convicted rapist need to be purged.

Trump about to get 80 million votes and dudes in here talking about "Liz Cheney cost Kamala the election"

The election was clearly lost well before that....

that class literally delivered a big win in 2008, 2012, and 2020, but ok

any other anomalies you can think of that exclude 2016 and 2024?

Weird that they came out for Obama then.

I'm sure many are racist, but even racists can vote in their best interests if you lay it out for them effectively.

 

[TEKBEATZ]

I'm very disappointed but at the same time Americans wants this....
so not much I can say about it now.
