hi_vis360I think those things are partially true but that’s a very dark way to view the country that isn’t productive, or a good way to win an election (clearly). Lots of trump supporters are very normal people who go to work every day just like you do.
snowfinderI think it's more the fact that many Americans are sexiest, raciest, lack of moral compass, and love violence and wanted someone like them to represent them, Trump. I might get in trouble in a few months for saying those things about the supreme leader.
TOAST.Maybe this is why we should be putting more limits on what the federal government does not matter who is in charge. I'm starting to sound conservative but at this point would rather just focus on my state/community cuz national politics is a shitshow.

Granby_killdozerYeah yeah go put on one of those scarlet letter dresses and cry about it in the street
snowfinderThat might be viewed as protesting and under trump that will likely be jail time.
Granby_killdozerYou got it mixed up, Harris and Walz were the only ones making policy proposals about restricting the first amendment. Just don’t burn down any businesses when you protest and you’ll be good to go.

snowfinderI dont support trump so you dont have to worry about me or any other sane person doing anything like that.
Granby_killdozerTrump supporters aren’t the reason that businesses feel the need to board up their windows during elections.
snowfinderThank you for proving Trump supporters dont understand things that actually happened in the past, Jan 6.

snowfinderWhen women and minorities start to lose more rights under this Trump term, and we the people have to pay more in goods and taxes because the wealthy got more tax cuts I get to say you voted for this to them.

Granby_killdozerWhat business were burned down on January 6th?? No business owner is concerned about republicans smashing their windows, looting their store and burning it down. Democrats on the other hand have a propensity for it that you don’t want to acknowledge.
-eREKTion-This is why democrats lost and will continue to lose for the foreseeable future. Americans voted for their interests tonight and Trump deservedly won. You may disagree that Trump represents Americans best interest but it’s reductive to say that his victory was because of racism, sexism, or whatever other-ism.
Trump is racist? How did he flip the Latino vote so much? He flipped counties that are 90%+ Latino that have voted blue since the 1890’s.
Trump is sexist? Wasn’t Harris’s campaigning that disparaged women who wouldn’t vote for her and targeted “sexist” black men in particular pretty sexist.
Trump loves violence? Name the war that began under Trump… like seriously he was the only President who didn’t start or expand wars since Carter. Russia didn’t invade Ukraine under his watch. Israel didn’t raze Gaza. 13 Americans didn’t die in Kabul.
Trump is undemocratic? Kamala Harris didn’t receive a single vote in the primary. Call it what it really was, a coup. Harris didn’t seize power until after Americans learned that they’d been lied to about Biden’s mental state.
hi_vis360Borderline funny how bad the democrats fucked this one up. Didn’t hold a primary and tried to run a dementia patient, abandoned the anti war movement, fucked up the border and then tried to fix it last minute when they realized people weren’t happy, and overall just tried to appeal to a moderate voter base that doesn’t actually exist lol. They’re a failure of a party, stoked I will have an independent who loves local ag representing me in the state senate and an independent senator
STEEZUS_CHRI5TWhat rights have woman and minorities already lost? What rights do you think they could lose?

VTshredder69lol it's takes like this that handed you your L.
America wanted the most qualified person to run the fucking country. Kamala was not that choice. Blaming racism LMFAO.
Maybe if kamala actually had a plan that wasn't only "TRUMP BAD" she had a shot. but Joy doesn't work in the real world as a fucking campaign slogan for an entire country.
STEEZUS_CHRI5THave a discussion, I'm not clicking some shoddy link
snowfinderNo cities are going to burn even though you and other trump supporters want it to happen.

The last time he was president things weren't good, everyday people woke up in fear that we will be in a war because of something he said or did. So we are back living in fear because an insane man child is now in charge again. It is true he loves the poorly educated because they support him because they cant see him for who he is, a con man.
-eREKTion-If you woke up every day in fear, you need to go to therapy because that isn’t normal. America was objectively better and safer under Trump, the media just told you to be afraid.
snowfinderDo you not know what project 2025 is?

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI think you're avoiding answering my question. Can you please explain what rights minorities and woman have already lost and which ones you think they will lose?

snowfinderdo you know what project 2025 is? Do you understand what happened with roe vs wade?
STEEZUS_CHRI5TI would be interested in hearing more if you're willing to tell
snowfinderHonestly sad you dont know what you voted for. Look up the Heritage Foundation to get an understanding what you voted for.
STEEZUS_CHRI5TI think you're avoiding answering my question. Can you please explain what rights minorities and woman have already lost and which ones you think they will lose?
VTshredder69ask him to explain the record number of minority votes Trump got too. Since everyone knows minorities love voting for racists.
STEEZUS_CHRI5TI’m done discussing politics—it’s always the same outcome. Just look up at the responses: angry, lost, and flailing reactions.
snowfinderYou are assuming I'm angry and that I'm lost and flailing. Honestly, if you don't know what Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation, or Roe v. Wade is, you're probably like most Americans, ill-informed and unaware of what was at stake yesterday. I thought you were playing the standard Maga game and playing dumb like you dont understand past actions and plans of Trump and his supporters.

STEEZUS_CHRI5TI'm the one assuming? Jesus christ dude lol
VTshredder69No we are informed. We just think the border and economy is a more important choice.
snowfinderYou mean the border that our elected officials came to deal about but Trump told them to shut it down because he wanted to run on it, guess it paid off. Guess you're not as informed as you think you are, let me help you out with some reading.

snowfinderHow does someone that is alive in 2024 not understand the threat that trump is to women and minorities? Not assuming just amazement that this is something you dont understand.
TOAST.Could this be the reason that Dems lost? The holier than thou attitude, alienating potential supporters, and reluctance to explain things.
.MASSHOLE.Their "interests"? Let's just assume it's the economy and inflation because that's what people are claiming.
If it's in their best interest's then I'm confused because Trump's platform will likely make things worse.
How? Well.
Let's start broad strokes.
His economic plan is projected to increase the deficit by ~$5.8T.
He will introduce tariffs that will increase inflation*.
His tax cuts that are projected to primarily benefit the rich.
He wants to get rid of the CHIPS Act which is designed to bring semi-conductor manufacturing on-shore and not only improve our economy but also national security.
He believes deportation will lower housing costs by improving availability and increasing wages for domestic workers. That's not how things work. Housing costs have no causal link to undocumented immigrants. Deporting undocumented immigrants will not improve wages and will be a net drain on social security (immigrants pay into SS but cannot benefit from it).
And for fucks sake. I'm not a Kamala fan but "undemocratic"? She was the VP of Biden's ticket. People voted for him knowing that there was the potential she could replace him. That's how things work.
*I swear to god if anyone tries to debate how tariffs work or how they'll "bring back jobs to the US" I will blow a fucking gasket. That's not how tariffs work in a globalized world

Film.Yea, and the conspiracies that the democrats made up around it are a huge reason why ya'll are losing the popular vote for the first time in 20 years.
VTshredder69Bro what about the Russian collusion thought??!?!?! Or what about sweeping the hunter Biden laptop story under the rug. Or what about big tech censorship?!?!?
