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]

Yall seen that movie The Good Dinosaur? It's an animated flick came out maybe 10 years ago or whatever. I was watching it with my daughters not long ago and the line from that movie that sticks with me is, "The storm provides."

We will be fine. All we can do now is capitalize off of the shyt show we are about to witness.

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

Backlash to Dem policies of not addressing housing and cost of living

But the backlash is also cultural issues too

All these blue states shifted right

 

[altruicsense]

Honestly I don’t believe these votes at all. No way you’re telling me Cali doesn’t wanna raise the minimum wage.

Anyway this is the saddest this country will ever be. We will have chaos, war, famine and racism.

How do we move forward ?

basic economics. raising minimum wage will only lead to increased prices.

She had excitement because she wasn't Joe Biden, not because of any personally compelling personality qualities.

Don’t matter why.

This was a vote for white supremacy, this is america, there was no other possible outcome

 

[hashmander]

Also keep in mind the j6 folks about to be released, given medals, and probably run for office

They stood up for what they believed in and will now be rewarded for it. The voters will support them too. It's who we are as a country now.

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.

Weird argument . Kamala is a boring bench warmer tier candidate . If she had Obama’s charisma it would be a different story . It has nothing to do with her being a black woman at all . She was part of a very shytty administration

Well for one she isn't black. But it wouldn't have matter if she had charisma no one wants a woman leader. It would be a disaster. I mean look at this shyt now. Biden ain't doing nothing but eating Graham crackers and chilling in a rocking chair. It's a Kamala run admin now and it's a shyt show.

But once again no one wants a woman leader. Not even women. They talk all empowerment Bull shyt but know it wouldn't be a good idea to have a woman with too much power.

Trump ain’t no gangsta he’s more like a scammer.

His family business was a money laundering front for the 5 families. His mentor was a mob lawyer.

 

[Torrential]

She had more excitement behind her than any recent candidate not named Obama.

There’s just too many nasty white folks to overcome

Completely disagree bro. She had the baggage of the Biden administration weighing her down and she didn’t distance herself at all from his policies . I promise this shyt has nothing to do with her race . She won the college educated white male demographic. I saw that this is the first time in years a democrat won that demographic .

 

[Copy Ninja]

The economy cooked the Dems. Everyone felt it every day when they had to spend money. They needed a candidate who could distance themselves from the previous administration.

 

[Wild self]

Now you see c00ns celebrating this mess.

I noticed this alot, people drinking less, smoking less, which isn't bad in a vacuum but compound it with wanting less sex on tv. Everyone assumed they are left because they are more gay but gay people can get married lol, they want low taxes

 

[Trips]

No couldn’t have done that.

That’s basically what he tried to do in a systematic way and got sued

There's always this belief with some that Biden could've just EOd all student loan debt to zero. And that it would be so well received that if/when it was deemed unlawful by SCOTUS. Which would happen. Then the backlash would be detrimental to the Republican party

I think those people would be surprised how that scenario would have played out

IMO it's less about that and more about that generation growing up on social media.

If you grow up getting all your info from right wing influencers on Twitter and Youtube and the manosphere of course you'll lean right. Millennials are the last generation that didn't completely grow up on social media.

There’s nothing to disagree with. The money and support pouring in was quantifiably significant.

She turned out the expected voters.

There’s just too many nasty cacs in this country.

Quit shooting them bail.

Nothing about Kamala or her candidacy can be blamed when the other guy has hella felonies and spent the last couple weeks sucking off mic stands.

None of that fukkin mattered.

What mattered is he made the election a referendum on white supremacy and white folks came out to stand on that, as they always have in this country.
