On the why of winners and Losers in 2024

[lafayette]

The below is a thing a friend of mine wrote on the elections of 2024. For your consideration:

'I’ve read a fair amount of commentary about why Trump won the election but haven’t seen much about the “super year” phenomena, which has been underway since late 2023 where a remarkably high percentage (over 80%) of incumbents are overturned by voters in their respective countries, affecting over half the population of the world. In some cases, decades-long control has been overturned.'

'Why? Angst over pandemic-triggered Inflation with blame placed on elites. It doesn’t matter if incumbents are left or right. Either way, they get ousted due to economic frustration of the voters.

Trump's election fits well into this pattern, and it likely wouldn’t have mattered which party was in power. It would probably have been overturned, Republican or Democrat.'

Another note about the margins in the election as the vote counts near finalization: How do Trump’s margins compare historically?

The size of the vote count margins come in at 44th out of the last 51 elections (since 1824). More Americans voted for someone other than Trump than voted for him, with Trump failing to capture 50% of the vote.'

And?

A win is a win.

 

[lafayette]

No question a win is a win, but the win is fragile. If Trump can't deliver quickly his coalition will fall apart.

The problem is gas and groceries, not cultural differences.

It's both. Gas and groceries are immediate. Cultural change happens over time.

Presidential elections are generally and relatively close. The spins you people pull here is laughable.

 

[ColonelAngus]

You lefty psychos went too far left and the voters wanted to correct the course towards communism.

It is really that simple.

The liberal death cult is not what America wants.

If genitals do not define gender, why does removing genitals AFFIRM GENDER?

'lefties' 'righties' 'communism' 'magaism'
'
Those are just words, not worlds of meaning.

It was the living day to day issues that changed the party in control, not culture.

If deportation and shutting the border hurt the economy, MAGA will be out in 2026.

Let's hope the Trumpers in Congress get it right.

 

[SeaMajor7]

This is the "rationalization" stage........

 

[lafayette]

Yes, it is. Trying to understand what and why. It is what thinking people do.

will Gaetz lose the hearing today and have the report released

Trump has 49.9% of the vote officially. By the time you eliminate the many fraudulent ballots, he wins well over half.
BTW, Harris still shows a seven million vote shortage from 2020. Where did all those votes go? Anyone?

What "many fradulent" ballots? He finished 24th in voting popularity since 1824. Yes, he had almost 50%, but more voted against him (again for the third time) than for him.

Mashmont is easily manipulated, yes.

whatever lets you sleep at night

In the three elections that Trump entered, more people voted for Trump than any president in any other election.

It is called simple math. Your tortured OP is meaningless, in 1824 Indians, Slaves, and Women did not vote. How did that lil study account for that fact?

 

[lafayette]

???? Hillary and Biden got more votes than Trump in the fairest elections in our history.

Trump still did not get a majority in 2024. More voted against him than for him.

You better go back to school to learn ciphering.

 

[lafayette]

Make it simple for Elektra. More voters cast ballots against Trump than for him.

He has never received a majority vote of the citizens themselves.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trump needs to have the democrat vote flipping machines outlawed

Let's make it simple for you, the majority of citizens never voted for Biden, Kamala, Obama, Clinton, or Carter.

See how that works, in this election, Kamala lost because the majority of citizens did not vote for Kamala

Pretty simple
