you REALLY fucking think that is why people voted for trump? LOL

they coulda carpet bombed that entire area and it wouldn't matter dude.

no one gives a shit about that stuff or those people.

it's the cultural/identity war. EVERYONE is sick of it, and if you aren't you're in the minority and your gauge of social sentiment is heavily broken. it's about protecting what is at home.

you guys are STILL fucking slandering the right wingers calling them inbred and idiots lol... get off your high horses... you're wrong... your social gauge is wrong... your ideals are wrong... your emotions are wrong... you're wrong.

YOU. ARE. WRONG.

get over it. you were wrong all the past 4 years. maybe 8.

everything you guys have posted in the past 276 pages... WRONG.

YOU were the ones living in a bubble listening to your own echo chambers. EVERYTHING you guys said and slandered to the opposing side... you were talking about yourselves.

My new interpretation is that recent elections... ppl are suffering and rejecting the current political party.
General shift to the right but sometimes a shift to the left;

like Cons got rejected in UK for labour (shift left)
SK rejected their incumbents for NDP (shift left)
New Brunswick rejected the cons for liberal (shift left)
Democrats got rejected in US for republicans

Only real outliers are places where life was more ok:
NDP kinda held on for dear life in BC (and our covid was not that bad)

Quoting a tweet here, from a woman I am familiar with who said she voted for Trump to protect women. As insane as that sounds, THIS is what they're voting for:

Quote:
"I have chosen to support a candidate who will put Americans first, reduce inflation, protect women by keeping men out of their safe spaces and sports, secure our border, bring back law and order, lower crime, have strong international relations to prevent us from going to WW3, and will restore overall normalcy to our country. It’s not about the “vibes” or a candidate’s personality, it’s about policy."
Of course, Trump has rarely shared his policies for any of this stuff, but that doesn't matter to them. They hear "Trump will lower inflation" and when Trump says he'll tariff everyone, they think that's how it will happen.

Policy doesn't matter as much as they say it does. It really is "about the vibes".

Most of it came down to the number of brown people they randomly see, what their favourite podcasters say about trans people, and the price of eggs. Many people would vote for a "Joe" but not a "Kamala" and.. here we are lol

Good luck!

Yes, hispanic conservatives hate immigrants even more than white people do

BTW stop repeating "you're wrong" it won't suddenly become reality if you keep writing it. People here are right, and nobody predicted a win either way except one of the trolls. That doesn't make it any less mindblowing, but it's still expected. We are pretty familiar with America and Americans.

They chose a dreadful candidate...for VP and to run against Trump. Dems needed someone with charisma, can handle their own under pressure, be a positive spitfire to recharge the energy of their base and not sound like an actual broken record.

I'm not even political but from an anthropological view, this was as fascinating if not more fascinating than 2016. Octogenarian vs Wicked Witch of the West role-player. Just top tier baroque performance. I will laugh myself to sleep

Wow the democrats completely shit the bed. They lost the election, the swing states, and the popular vote. How can they be so delusional and out of touch with what Americans want?

This is so ironic bcos probably none of that is going to be true.

Economists have already said that the Trump tariffs are gonna cause more inflation.

Protect women whether they like it or not, while leaning heavy towards banning abortion.

US burned it's relationships with much of Western Europe, and bullied us and Mexico real bad. But hey, I guess it will have a great relationship with Israel and Putin.

There'll be no WW3 bcos Russia will be allowed to invade its neighbouring countries as it wishes.

Unfortunately, democracy doesn't work when voters are too fxxking dumb.

They started weakening the education system in 2016. Those 10-18 year-olds are 18-26 now, voting.

2020 results were more shocking than 2016, despite the Biden win, because people were still willing to vote Trump despite being aware of the consequences. This was before the felony charges and even the attack on the Capitol.

It's somehow less shocking now, but even more shocking in other ways.

The main issue is that most people consider "the economy" as the major issue (with most unable to even define the word; they just see that the price of gas has gone up in the last 4 years), and the Dems were in the wrong place at the wrong time for the post covid crash. Trump tells them he'll fix it, because he's that rich famous guy from TV, and they believe it. We shall see

And TBH, I felt this for a long time coming out of covid, it really doesn't matter who wins. We're fucked no matter what. I was thinking 2050-2070 is when it gets apocalyptically bad. Maybe it's closer than that now, but either way we're fucked. Not just USA, not just Canada; everyone. Ukraine fighting for a small chunk of their land, or Israel wiping Palestinians off the face of the earth are going to seem like minor footnotes in history.

edit: before anyone assumes this dooming is over the election, forget it. I have been dooming over this for years lol. If you've seen my posts here, you know

modern politics in the west just shows no matter how outlandish the antics (eating pets, US territory being literal trash), nor how big the scandal, none of that shit matters in the grand scheme at the 11th hour

not just on a world level but even right here with the provincial election

i agree with ulic on some levels, some echo chambers were still so focused on trump soiling himself, his bad tan etc. and cannot see the forest for the trees that even popular vote has a 5-6 million lead

history books and trivia will be altered, grover cleveland is no longer the only comeback kid in potus record, just more WTF to add like trump meeting with Kim or taking out an Iranian general

I’ve said it before. There is no way they’ll let a black / Indian woman be the president. The US is wayyy too racist for that shit. People will come out and vote nut bag trump just to shit on Kamala.

Man fuck that country. I’m glad I’m Canadian. Bunch of inbred yeehaw idiots. If I was on the coast I’d want to vote for succession from the rest of the country.
