    Its a buffet for the leopards. They’ll coast on Biden’s policies for a bit, when Trump plans take affect we’ll see.

    Horrible title for a thread. You people need to be asking questions about what just happened.

      They’ll ask only to prove they’re “asking”, but they believe they know the answer, and they’ll accept nothing but voters dumb, racist, misogynistic, etc because they think they’re smarter than everyone. They don’t care about the actual answer.

        What’s the actual answer? The Dems didn’t lie their assess off to entice a bigger base by promising the impossible? They didn’t decide to burn a hundred bridges on the international stage for the sake of building one right to your door? What’s the “real” answer? If you want to vote for your ideal politician, go run for office.

      People like you huffing their own ass instead of learning about how things work is what happened. All the people voting R have always been lost causes, but it’s the apathetic non voters and the delusional third party voters who caused this.

    During the Trump presidency, I read a book entitled “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45”. In it, a journalist gives an account of his interviews with people who had been rank-and-file members of the Nazi Party in Nazi Germany. It really is remarkable what similarities there are.

    There are some things that I think will keep the US safe, at least for now. One is that Trump himself is old and will slow down soon. The other thing is that Hitler came to power against democratic institutions that were much, much weaker and younger than what the US has. The Weimar Republic had been established just 15 years prior, whereas the US has had a continuous government for nearly 250 years.

    Trump or anyone trying to follow in his stead simply has a lot more in their way. Of course, that’s no reason for complacency.

    Irrelevant. The people who tried to stop it already know how Hitler came to power, and the ones who should ask how it happened — the ones you should address your post to — either don’t care or actively want another Hitler.

    But hey, at least you slammed the people who tried their hardest, rather than actually address conservatives themselves, which would have required you actually confronting them. Glad you feel better, though.

    The dem message of “we won’t do better but the other guy will do worse” failed. It was a bad message and it lost them the election against a terrible candidate. Voters need to be motivated to vote and that message isn’t motivating enough

    Yeah, but it was never between Hitler and a woman! Yanks hate nothing more than women, so what did you expect?

      Don’t play dumb, she was unpopular with the left and did nothing to help with it. “Eat it up because otherwise it’s trump” doesn’t get you votes.

        Are you serious? She had ten times as many policy proposals than Trump. She’s not unpopular, she’s a woman.

          It’s not that.

          The turnout on the right was the same as 2020, the turnout on the left was shit.

          Basically unless you give the left holy charismatic magic jesus like Obama, they stay home and whine like bitches.

            The left wasnt asking for holy charismatic magic jesus, instead they were begging for an actual position against the ongoing genocide.

        To be honest I’d called a Trump victory early on, but how the fuck is he winning this hard? Hell he didn’t even need Michigan.

    Well the entire multiplatform astroturfing campaign from people who call themselves leftists worked! Democrats stayed home instead of voting.

    Now Palestine will be completely flattened with 0 resistance at all, and redoubled support and bombs for Israel! Way to go! You really showed your support for Palestine by helping this happen!

    They will probably come back saying “it wasn’t our fault, we just pointed out the truth” while they shouted that a vote for Harris was a vote for genocide [so don’t vote for harris] from every platform that they used.

    I’m watching it happen in real time and STILL questioning how it happened. Humans are some stupid motherfuckers. America burned its hand on Trump, and now a disturbing number of Americans are reaching for him again with the same hand, still blistered from the first time.

      He literally killed more Americans than all previous wars after WWII combined, and no one gives a fuck. Truly indescribably baffling.

    People talk about this often. I haven’t ever questioned how Hitler came to power in Germany, so that was easy.
