@FrankenforIowa That’s all the Democrats seem to be able to do. Criticize and then call for impeachment. The first two were a farce and now you want a third. Go away.
@POTUS Generally I don’t comment on your posts. However, on your way out the door I figured I ought to say goodbye and tell you that anyone who bought what you were selling was and is a complete moron. History will not be kind. You will be remembered as the worst.
@mmpadellan So sick and tired of this deliberate manipulation of the facts. People are mad that Biden pardoned his degenerate son because he promised multiple times that he wouldn’t and because he pardoned him for everything he did or might have done for a huge period of time.
@TheEconomist President Elect Trump has proposed to use the threat of tariffs as a bargaining chip to give the US leverage in negotiating better trade terms with otherwise predatory trading partners you ignorant nitwits.
@SenSchumer Too little too late Kapo Chuck. You needed to get your own house in order before criticizing others. You allow it to happen here. Horrendous.
WHY TRUMP WON
While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.
This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues. Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.
Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling (“convicted felon”, “fascist”), debunked hoaxes (“very fine people”), and platitudes (“democracy”). She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say what she would do differently. When she did talk about specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump (child tax credit; no tax on tips; border funding).
On the one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump deftly got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform. Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trump’s position and by exhibiting her own party’s extremism (nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC).
While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA (health) and DOGE (government efficiency), Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention.
The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you don’t agree with the result. Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life and, increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.
While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple: Trump is the candidate who spoke to voters’ concerns directly.
It’s the issues, stupid.
@carolmswain I agree. I felt very uneasy hearing the dog whistle language from her. I think that will give a lot of leftist extremists license to start the shenanigans.
