It is not wise to call the GOP the party of racists when it managed to gain a huge proportion of the Latino vote this time, despite all of Trump's rhetoric against Hispanics. Many more LGBT people voted Republican this time too. Sigh, it's not over yet. Well Latinos can be racist too, but that's not what it is. There isn't a paradigm shift, though. Like I said - this is the last gasp of the dying macho man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People *do* get the country they deserve, for sure. I could add that I don't really have anything in common with the people who voted for Trump. Nor do I want to have anything in common with them.

I kinda doubt its going to happen. As I sit here now I think I got the WH and House calls wrong. Trump has the clear advantage for the White House and probably popular vote, and I think Democrats with the House with a 2-5 Seat advantage. Trump simply has a huge advantage right now, and all he needs is a single Blue Wall state. Hes leading in all 3 right now. NYT has him at a greater than 95% chance of winning, and thinks that PA is going to be called soon. Trump is probably going to win more than 300 EC votes, and may have a clear governing mandate at that. Something I simply did not believe was going to happen. Rumor is that the Secret Services has dispatched a full Presidential detail to Florida to start working with Trump. Probably most indicative of all is how the Harris campaign is acting. They are pulling a page directly from the Hillary playbook. She wont speak tonight, and instead she sent out one of her staffers to tell people to go home.

André Toulon Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 I guess my ingrained pessimism doesn't allow me to have much of a reaction to this. I told y'all long ago black men were gonna fuck it up ...Latinos ducking it up wasn't on my bingo card, but I can definitely see how it played out that way. Bottom line is now that it's said and done, I can go back to just worrying about me since the vast majority of us, it seems, don't give a shit about other people and that sentiment entails that not one president ever has stopped the systematic racism, my financial situation only changes when I actively change something, and we are the catalyst for international feuding... Not the solution, business as usual....just upset I have to look at this clown while it happens. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 (edited) Having slept a bit on it, provided that there isn’t poll fuckery, the easiest explanation is that the massive post-COVID inflation, particularly in housing, is the biggest thing that screwed over the Democrats. The second biggest thing is that conservatives are virtually uncontested in social media between the manosphere, GriftTube, etc. But when push comes to shove, your average person was voting against the fact that they can’t afford to buy a house their parents could easily, and that groceries cost more and more of their paycheck. The problem is that Trump is NOT the person to solve that, unless he’s somehow going to try to drive Blackrock out of business because their president called him a man baby. I still stand by Trump exiting stage left with a full pardon very early into his term. Like, six months. Meanwhile liberals need to build their own answer to the Rogans of the world.

As much of an issue as that might be for some people, it wouldn't work without an entire social media system specifically designed to whitewash (pardon the pun) Trump and put Kamala on the hook for everything from Gaza to to the fact that your average guy is stuck renting eternally. Or the endless YouTube videos bitching about how pop culture has gone too woke and liberal (Which, by the way idiots, if you don't think a second Trump presidency will drive Hollywood and animation even further left, I have some Trump NFT's to sell you). People are not wrong to be upset, but they are supremely dumb to think Donald J Trump, or let's be honest, JD Vance, will do anything to help with that, instead of just setting up their weird theocratic laws that they can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully maintain people weren't voting about minorities or abortion (given that practically every pro-abortion measure save Florida's fucked up 60% law passed with voters, even in red states), but about the groceries. It's just that "A Chicken in Every Pot and a Car in Every Garage" isn't happening with Trump or Vance either.

Jman Posted November 6 Share Posted November 6 For a look at policy devoid of political party, as per the Times: Quote Abortion rights fared well in most places, but their post-Roe undefeated streak ended. In Florida, Nebraska and South Dakota, measures to protect abortion rights failed. (The Florida measure received 57 percent support but needed 60 percent to win.) Measures succeeded in Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana and New York. Nebraska approved medical marijuana, while a measure to legalize recreational marijuana in Florida failed. Missouri voted to raise its minimum wage to $15 an hour. Two states voted to keep their tipped minimum wages — which apply to many restaurant workers — the same: Massachusetts rejected an increase, and Arizona rejected a decrease. Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and South Dakota rejected measures to establish ranked choice voting, and Missouri voted to ban the practice. Washington, D.C., approved it. Nebraska and Kentucky voted against allowing public funds to go to students in private or charter schools. California voters passed a measure that would charge some shoplifting and drug possession offenses as felonies instead of misdemeanors. Ohio rejected a measure to replace its legislature’s partisan redistricting system with an independent commission. Florida fuckery aside, you see a lot of policies here that aren't exactly what one would call conservative. Medical marijuana and abortion win. Minimum wage increases did decently well. Two solid red states rejected sending taxpayer money to private schools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
