Every incumbent party around the world when the post-pandemic inflation began has lost, regardless of ideology and regardless of where inflation was at the moment of the election.

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

It all comes down to the information environment. Inflation is down, growth is up, border interceptions are down, crime is down, vaccines work great--and none of it matters. Trump created a conspiracist permission structure to ignore or deny all the facts and focus on hate.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

A reminder that tens of millions of Americans believed the country was heading in the wrong direction because they believed the economy was doing badly and that crime was going up. None of that is true.

[Adrienne Mahsa Varkiani @AdrienneMahsa]

Really feels like bomb threats in Arizona, Georgia, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on Election Day should be a bigger story

[That Blame Guy @ImToBlame]

Didn’t articulate one single coherent policy. Just jokes and hate. Performing better than the last election. This country is sick.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_star]

Roughly *67%* of voters rated the economy as "not so good/poor," per Washington Post exit polls

A shockingly poor number amid a hot labor market, booming stocks, much lower inflation, growing GDP

But widespread voter dissatisfaction w/ the economy been clear for years

[jennie’s wife @jentayIor]

the right wing radicalization of high school and college aged men is truly one of the biggest crises in the us and it goes nearly completely unaddressed

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This is why the Great Replacement theory never made sense: Latino immigrants are not inherently Democratic voters, and culturally are more natural conservatives than liberals. One also has to wonder whether Trump's caudillo strongman style helps explain his appeal to Latino men.

[Shaniqua McClendon @__Shaniqua_]

Feels like a very American punishment for daring to think she could be president

[Wajahat Ali @WajahatAli]

Racism, misogyny, right-wing media landscape talking points and people thought the economy was worse off now and that they were worse off than under Trump because we live in the United States of Amnesia.

[Akilah Hughes @AkilahObviously]

I mean the bar was in hell for Donald Trump and he didn’t clear it. That’s actually what this is about. This country expects less than nothing from privileged white men. And they provide it in abundance.

[Stuart Stevens @stuartpstevens]

Maybe. Or maybe many see Trump for exactly what he is and they like it because it gives them permission to be the same way.

[Hannah @queen_meghan14]

Last thought before attempting to go to bed: if Americans are willing to reelect Trump after everything he’s said in the past three months, there’s nothing Harris could’ve done.

[🦋 Manson Infowars 💖 ✨ @MansonInfoWars]

Rape allegations really “ruin a man’s life” and yet you can still become president of the United States of America 🇺🇸.

[Franklin Leonard @franklinleonard]

I cannot emphasize enough how disturbing it is that Fulton and Dekalb county voting precincts were targeted for bomb threats.

These are the biggest, Blackest counties in Georgia. A quarter of the state's Black population between them.

[Yonah Lieberman 🔥 @YonahLieberman]

Every year people use long lines to talk about the pride they have in American democracy. But it’s fundamentally anti-democratic to have such bad electoral infrastructure that people have to wait six hours to vote. It’s literally voter suppression.

[Peter Sterne @petersterne]

I'm sorry, but seriously trying to match signatures in this day and age is absurd. There's a reason credit cards have basically stopped doing this.
