Republicans always complain about celebrities endorsing the dems but we have the ultimate celebrity on our side. Trump can move mountains by simply tweeting. And of course, lord Elon.
Apropos of this discussion, something I just read: "Harris also had to contend with a widespread belief that Trump single-handedly gave out all the pandemic relief checks." https://washingtonmonthly.com/2024/11/07/democrats-will-win-again-once-the-economy-tanks/
Its funny watching all the folks reaction on the importance to keep “voting”.. midterms they say.. lol, its done. Trump won the election and the mechanisms of checks and balances no longer exist. The idea that Trump couldnt steal 2024 rested on “Biden is sitting President”.. When midterms happen all the mechanisms to control elections will belong to Trump. He will emplace more judges. Trump has been given a “no consequence” presidency expect to see more blatant unconstitutional abuses of power this time around. Some people choose to believe that the existing conventions and checks will stop this, but I don't think it will. First step is cleaning out the public service and appointing mid-level managers and important people with the true believers. Then, when the executive orders something done that they aren't allowed to do, those people will do it anyway. The courts might try and get in the way, but there will be strategic appointments that will get around that. AG Aileen Cannon and the SCOTUS will have last say.. its a matter of just how monstrous Trump wants to be.. I got this bad feeling that “Trumped up charge” will quickly become the main phrase of the lexicon next year.. all these talks about “pardons”… but what about political incarcerations? again its hard to tell if its campaign speak or legit promises since this will be a “no-consequence” presidency…… does he make a show of force and jail the people he has grievances with using “Trumped up charges” Apparently the business of Mental Health is about to boom.. lol
If only that was true. Look at this place. Look at the hostility against people who do not belong to your bubble. It's really nasty. Really, really nasty. You are not ready to have a clean conversation with people you disagree with. I would love to discuss topics I find interesting with you (I'm pro-abortion, for example), but I don't fully align, so you're going to be hostile. It's a shame really.
But but but it was staged. As if the secret service wouldn't vet the people getting the food. Don't want another leftist Democrat assassin.
Again, agreeing 100% has nothing to do with it. I'll give you the biggest example. I am a registered Republican. Was a Republican until Trump was nominated. I mostly voted for people, not parties, for all offices except President. In 2016 I voted Gary Johnson. And I have caught shit for all of it from a bunch of posters, but you have to know your shit and not just show up the days after an election and say you "want to have a clean conversation". That's trolling. From what I have seen of you in the last two days it gloating and trolling and that is never going to get a real conversation going.
You haven't had one yet. The first guy was a Republican using a gun that Democrats have been trying to ban for this whole century. The other guy was a 2016 Trump voter.
Saw this on BlueSky, and don't know how legit it is, but interesting and not surprised if true. But for me, it's just hard to feel sympathetic for people that vote Trump. @Val1 and his sig strikes again.
I might have been one of them. However... You do know your shit, and want to have a conversation. Big props. These trolls? Sorry, I have a life. I have no need to be dragged into the pathetic swamp that is their bubble. You can tell by how they're acting en masse what a cesspool that must be.
Dude .. the first line in the first post you made after the election here is "So much salt here, lol." .... So don't complain about hostility when you start the conversation with trolling remarks ... which is something you do A LOT. If you want to have a "clean conversation" with legit disagreements, act like so. Either troll or have serious conversations. You can't have it both ways only to then claim people are hostile towards you. I know you're a bit younger than most here, but you should be old enough to be past the Internet trolling phase of your life. It doesn't make you as cool as you think it does. Just like "virtual signal" points, there seems to be a community that collects "trolling lets own the Libs" points.
…But no this election wasnt about racism or sexism. Nobody voting for Trump thinks this is about anything but the economy.. Kamala lost because she implied folks were racists and Nazis https://www.wcpo.com/news/local-new...lack-tri-state-residents-americans-nationwide
Nah, man. Celebrating your favorite candidate's victory is not trolling. You think it's trolling because this is an echo chamber. And leftists have a terrible sense of humor, lol.
That's actually the textbook definition of trolling. I tried. If no one responds to him he will get bored and leave.
Not leaving, unless one of you ban me. Which would be totally in character, haha. But you seem cool, stranger. Shoot me a PM, or maybe I'll shoot you one some time. Really cool to speak to people outside my little Real Madrid corner. Cheers!
Ah yes, one thing that’s sorely lacking in this forum is a sense of humor, good job sussing that out.
Not sure if this was ever posted here ... I've been meaning to post this for a while in one of the thread and forgot. W sounding wise and foreseeing things.
A couple points: (1) in my general view thing work for Trump but not Kamala because he’s a superior politician who knows how to talk to his voters. Kamala is just not a good politician and she’s certainly not Teflon like Trump. (2) it appears you are implying that sexism is the root cause of why it doesn’t work for her. I disagree. But even assuming it’s true if she was an effective politician (she’s not) she would work-around this by figuring out the strategy that does work for you. Doing a voter reach out strategy that backfires is a mistake in an election. That’s just the fundamentals of how elections work. (3) you should touch some grass. what’s ironic is that you have the hateful attitude by demonizing people who disagree with you.
Perhaps he won’t fix anything, but that’s better than raising my taxes. And he will appoint conservative judges who will issue opinions undermining the legality of the DEI industrial complex. And he will reinstate Remain in Mexico. Those are big pluses for me.
