I refuse to believe that people would be stupid enough to expect somebody who banned people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from even entering the USA in his first term to be pro-Gaza…
Nah, I actually think minorities voted more for Trump because the right have more socially conservative policies.
Bernie Sanders reflected on it stating that it was the Democrats failing the working class that won Trump the election, and people in the Democratic Party denounced him for it.
Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010’s.
People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it’s become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it’s the main subreddit of Twitch’s most popular streamer.
And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they’re Nazi scum if they don’t agree with you isn’t a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.
Where I was wrong was with how narrow the result would he. It wasn’t even Gore v Bush levels of close unlike when Lichtman’s 13 keys prediction previously failed. Kamala lost the popular vote to a convicted felon that tried to usurp democracy and is the reason why abortion is no longer a federal right. The Republicans spent the last few weeks crapping on Haitians and Puerto Ricans, yet won some districts with large Latino populations.
This is what happens when Democrats ignore their voter base and choose a cabal of unpopular and uncharismatic candidates to carry the torch. The bar is now so low that we need James Cameron to venture out into the Mariana Trench and lift it back up again…
Bernie Sanders
Pete Buttigieg
Or if they could have approached a very popular celebrity such as Dwayne Johnson or Taylor Swift and asked them to run.
Even Andrew Yang could have produced a better result if he made a better campaign pitch than focusing his solely on leftist pipe dreams that will bankrupt the country such as UBI.
I’d argue the opposite.
The fact that Americans are possibly still voting for someone who will bring in the Fourth Reich if elected, over the first female president is a sign of just how badly Democrats have dropped the ball. ESPECIALLY after Jan 6th.
Don’t get me wrong. I hope that I’m wrong and Harris mops the floor with Trump, but the polls on 538 aren’t giving me much hope
I think Trump will win narrowly. Allan Lichtman predicted Kamala but I think some of his arguments for his keys to the white house being/not being turned are shaky.
I think Trump will win because I disagree with Lichtman’s judgement on a few keys:
The No Social Unrest key is False. We seem to be forgetting Jan 6th.
No Scandal key is False. I’d say the incumbent president losing his marbles during a presidential debate and being too senile to move forward is pretty scandalous, also everything surrounding Hunter Biden.
Good short/long term economy is a toss-up. I can’t really say that having a huge national deficit, high inflation and awful living standards in real terms counts, even if America technically isn’t in recession.
Foreign/military success is a toss-up. I wouldn’t count NATO rallying around Ukraine as that.
Even if you disregard Gaza, the US pulling out of Afghanistan and watching as the Taliban retook the whole country within hours counts as a military failure.
Anybody voting against Harris over Gaza is a moron. Trump may be even more pro Israel…
I mean considering the fact that he flashed himself to a 16 year old girl without any warning, I’d say that tattoo was well deserved.
How much support is there for Trump in the military though?
I’m worried about the possibility that this kind of rhetoric could lead to an attempted coup or civil war.
I’ve seen women like that on dating apps. Claim to hate small talk, include in their bio that if you just open with “hi” they’ll unmatch you, and then when you put some thought into actually writing a response, ask a leading question about their interests or what they wrote in their profile, they unmatch you anyway.

Final Fantasy XIV may lack the point and click tick based combat and semi AFK gameplay but it’s a solid MMORPG.

Sounds like 2012 era Reddit is back on the menu.
