Summary
Democrats are grappling with Donald Trump’s decisive victory, which included popular vote support and wins in traditionally Democratic regions.
Analysts suggest that Trump’s appeal lies less in specific policies and more in his embodiment of resentment and populist anger.
While some blame Harris’s choice of running mate, media influence, or Biden’s timing in stepping aside, many argue that Trump’s support reflects a desire for his “tough-guy” rhetoric and promises of “social revenge.”
Despite the potential consequences, Trump’s supporters expect him to hurt others without affecting them.
Trump’s second term will likely bring about the destruction of the rule of law and the expansion of his power, leaving voters to confront the reality of his actions.
Democrat voters supporting their party hard shift to the right got what they deserved.
They can’t expect to win elections if they continually ignore the needs of voters.
Because now democrats being too conservative won’t be an issue?
The lesson people will take away from this is that LGBTQ and especially trans rights are a losing issue with voters. It will be that women’s needs should be considered only if they don’t disturb men’s privileges.
There isn’t going to be a left-wing realignment. Leftists just took a fatal hit, they just don’t realize it yet.
How many times are we going to hear the magabrainz whining that “he’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting, you guys!!!”
I’m gonna laugh so hard. If we can’t have a good country, we can at least have a bad country for all the people who voted it in.
When his policies inevitably hurt them, they’ll tell you it was someone else through some form of advanced mental gymnastics.
“I voted for him, and he’s the one who’s doing this,” Minton told Mazzei. “I thought he was going to do good things. He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.”
How much you want to bet she voted for Trump again this election.
It’s going to be fun watching medicaid get gutted.
I still find it so fucked up that people vote specifically to harm other people.
Fucking right?! That’s why you voted for someone?? Because they’re going to enact revenge?! And revenge for fucking what? What the fuck did Democrats do to you to make you decide that revenge is worth the destruction of your country?
How do we make sense of the senseless? How do we come out of this? Legitimately, is there anything that will stop him from canceling the 2028 election or removing the 22nd Amendment?
That is their choice to make.
