Yep. And if he were to lose. Wouldn't be surprised. See? That's how it works.

GOP gets their ass handed to them everytime re: popular vote - hmm....I would recalibrate how "popular" I think I am. Maybe out and meet "Real America"

You probably thought overturning Roe v. Wade was gonna be popular, too.

Why would I let myself be conned out of 19.95? That's for suckers.

Yeah...cell phone data of people walking within 2 blocks of drop box out in public?

Using maps of Moscow and claiming they're American cities?

Oh, publisher has pulles DeSouza's book, too - due to "editorial concerns."

The results are not even in yet in many states. There was a red wave in some geographic areas where elections were reformed. But, To call US a Sub Saharan Africa Election would be an insult to Zimbabwe.

So long as US won't go back to one citizen, gov issued id, one ballot on one day like Mexico, Canada, Europe, even Russian, why is anyone surprised? Ballots in US can be printed, filled out and bundled and dropped off in the dead of night by the tens of millions and no one is the wiser because there is no chain of custody back to the citizen.

And, that is what the US calls the Big Lie and me the Denier. It works.

I stopped listening a few minutes in, once heard these 'experts' also talk like unserious and coarse juveniles. They don't see how they are part of this new Trumpish culture. Where have all the adults gone?

Another reason, besides the fake "wokeism" moral panic....is that inflation is not the only metric of an economy.

I just don't understand why all those parents whose kids are being screamed at every day at school for being oppressors didn't rise up.

I mean, how many more girl's soccer teams have to suffer?

Tough to maintain this type of political ethos for long term:https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2019/1/8/18173678/trump-shutdown-voter-florida

1. Well, when you've created a fake moral panic that kids are being browbeaten all day in school about being oppressors, girls soccer teams are being overun by trans people and schools are putting litter boxes in bathrooms....shouldn't be surprised when 99% of Americans aren't dealing with that, at all, on a daily basis.

2. If your party historically and consistently loses the POTUS election by millions of popular votes and only gets in because the U.S. is the only country with the electoral college - you might want to get out of your echo chamber, understand/meet "Real America" and psychologically dial back how popular you think you really are.

Half the country voted for trump twice

Why?

As the vote against republican and vote against Democrats

So they now returned to their historical vote of lack of choice

But neither side In power will see the reality

Half the country still hates them

What will happen next?

Lessons from the election

1. It is not good to have Donald Trump endorse you.

2. Republicans ignored this lesson from 2020, when Trump's endorsements resulted in the loss of 40 congressional seats and 2 senate seats*. Democrats learned from that and spent many millions on ads promoting MAGA Republicans in the primary contests. The are now planning the campaign to get Trump nominated for 2024.

"In fact, every Republican candidate that Democrats spent money on beat a more moderate Republican in the primary and then lost to a Democrat in the general election."

3. Democrats are capable of casting votes out of pity, Republicans, no (Cp: Fetterman vs Walker)

4. RvW abortion wasn't the Republican-killer I thought it was going to be.

5. The far right is not good for the R party. The Dems know the far left is not good for them, and suppress their mention. The Rs care about being right. The Ds care about winning.

6. Oregon is still gaga.

* True, he did endorse them by emphasizing that they supported him, and a vote for them would be a vote for him. He may not have done that this time. I didn't listen. Is that even possible?

It is not clear if this is true. If Trump was such a liability, it would show up in the polls. The mismatch between the polls and results needs further analysis. Simplistic theories are not enough. Perhaps intensity drove the results. Perhaps not.

True, but pursuit of one can overcome the other. Just depends on which one.
