Yes there is a large core of Trump voters
They don't mind because they are thick as bricks and it hasn't hit them hard enough...yet. But it is starting to bite now. There are none so zealous as a new convert, and none so bitter as a betrayed one.
This particular leopard is kinda cute, and she's also an advocate of critical thinking - unlike the two idiots she is talking about.
I had never heard about Jeremy Dale Hambly (TheQuartering) or Luke Bukowski (@LukeWeAreChange), but, man, they're dumb! Is this the best that the 'manosphere' can come up with? Is this what's supposed to be "Alpha energy" nowadays?
It's pathetic!
And women are supposed to be "more susceptible to groupthink and propaganda" than these two pseudo MAGAlphas!
And institutions of higher learning "are really just propaganda woke factories" because "those institutions have been hijacked by the woke mind virus and the intel agencies."
It's no wonder that they have come to see education as emasculation.
I've given up hope for them. It's be wonderful to be pleasantly surprised, but I don't see the cult waking up until after their orange Messiah is dead.
Perhaps, but I think they'll find a way to blame others for the predicament they find themselves in because even if the actions that hurt them were taken by the Trump administration, it was as a result of illegal immigrants, woke Democrats, Trans people or another group they've been told to hate.
Sure. But their kids will still die faster.
To be fair... Biden pulled off higher voter turnout since William McKinley in 1900. The next closest is William Howard Taft in 1908. Other than 2020, Trump's voter turnout is also the highest since Taft, although Nixon was pretty close.
Male whiteness?
Wrong question. Should be: "Why was the Dem turnout so low this time?"
I disagree. Voter turnout, and indeed votes for Harris, were within the general range seen for half a century. Biden's turnout was unusually high. Since Biden is the outlier, it's more reasonable to try to figure out what they did that brought more people to the booth.
"Within the range"? There are tens of millions more people in the USA now than 1970. So when the vote count does not change much, that constitutes a net loss of votes, i.e. a reduced turnout. When small fractions of the vote count make a big difference, that matters.
If true, the message I read from that is they didn't want any more of Trump. So they would have just as likely voted for Harris or Obama or any other Dem if they had been the candidate then.
True. People who post fake comments from others on the internet are disgusting, wouldn't you agree?
I think the Dems need to make it a priority to let these Trump voters know that they made a mistake and it's OK. They're not alone; lots of people made that same mistake. But they can mitigate that mistake by admitting it, moving on, and vote MAGA out of office in the 2022 election. Returning Congress to the Dems will help limit the damage Trump and Musk are doing.
Sorry, what?
This reminds me of one of the old "Honeymooners" episodes, (It went something like this) Ralf wants to win $50 for coming up with an idea to save his employer the Bus Company thousands of dollars!! ... Of course when the idea wins, and it's implemented?? Ralf looses his job!Because the "Trump's Second Term" thread is getting so long, I thought that we should have a separate thread for Trump supporters who are or will soon regret their vote.
I'll start off with a disabled military veteran who just got fired from his job at FEMA.
This civil servant and veteran voted for Trump. Now he’s out of a job - WTOP News
A Virginia couple is hashing out their next steps after the husband, a disabled veteran and information technology technician with a federal agency, was fired as part of the newly created Department of Government Efficiency’s efforts to shrink the federal workforce.wtop.com
From what I can tell, the people Harris needed to connect with didn't think was talking to them. If she had more time maybe she could have fixed that.
Liked the guy a lot, but his time was done. He should have passed the torch before the election season started and retired gracefully.
That's why I think we're living in the timeline created by a time traveller. Someone went back in time and took out Beau Biden at just the right time to prevent Joe Biden from running in 2016, opening the way for Trump. Question is, when the interference is corrected, will we cease to exist?
