The pics thread

Although Cornholio simplified it but yes, that actually is one of the main reasons. People basically didn't want what the progressive left(in pretty much every aspect) was trying to shove own our throats

Ive been saying it, let the rabid dog/liberals keep foaming at the mouth and the people/sheep will eventually see it. The last 4 years shook this country up so bad that there was just no way biden(kamala was a death sentence for them the minute she was announced) or whoever they were going to prop up wasnt going to lose.

The rest of the world doesn't really see what we see anyway ... you guys just get(not by choice) what los angeles, new york and the other blue havens feed you guys which is why i prefer not to talk politics online anyway. Thats another reason you guys are shocked that the popular vote went to him and that the race wasn't even actually close.

It's mostly surprising to me because it's the first time in 20 years that a Republican has won the popular vote.

I definitely don't agree with Cornholio (lol) but I agree with you that the Democrats ensured their defeat when they put up Kamala. Pretty sure last I checked, 15 million Biden voters just straight up didn't vote for her. She only got like 80% of Biden's voters.

Woke shit and deep state concerns are primarily right-wing issues and those people were already in for Trump. It might've brought over some independents, but what I think cooked Kamala, and this has been pretty obvious for weeks based on polling about what the top concerns are, is immigration and the economy, both issues that Trump looks way better on.

Kamala ran a pretty shit campaign too, even if you grant that she didn't have much time, she should've done non-stop interviews to get herself out there. Talk about the economy etc. Fact is, regardless of whatever nerd stats Dems wanna pull up about how actually the US is doing better, wage growth, inflation is easing, outperforming all other OECD countries blah blah, people prioritise their memory and their experience and most people remember how much better they had it in 2016-2019 under Trump. He also just talks about manufacturing a lot more than Kamala did.
 
Let me just clarify that I think Trump's persona is vile beyond measure. But looking out for your own citizens, that's where it's gotta start. Do not meddle in other countries' businesses (which the US has done from day one), cut down on military presence overseas, focus on giving your own goddamn constituents the basic decency of being able to get sick without it ruining them financially forever. But it's the same in every western country, really, this obession with looking out for anybody but your own people. And it's got to change.

For the record, I'm not a deranged right-wing lunatic or "based", whatever the fuck that means. But I have had the privilege of time, which is why I've used it to think, ruminate, read, listen to people. I'm not happy that a lot of people in the US are scared; on the contrary. I feel sad about this. They need to be on board too. Same with Swedish politics, and European politics in general.

Also, Cornholio ... clever, boys. ;)
