On the why of winners and Losers in 2024

[Mac1958]

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

For those few of us who still want to see the parties working together, collaborating and innovating (I'm pretty sure there are some of us left):

This stuff does ebb and flow historically. But unfortunately, as we become more and more divided, the swings back and forth will get correspondingly more destructive.

The one thing that concerns me is whether the next few years will see a critical change in our voting processes, i.e., making access to voting more difficult for certain people, and the incoming party refusing to certify elections it doesn't like. I've never had to worry about that before, but here we are.

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.

Yup. One of the most influential campaign ads run was Trump's - "Harris is for they/them, Trump is for you". Even the left admit the ad was devastating.

And, many said they were going to the polls in order to save democracy, with Trump getting 58% of the votes from voters who felt that.

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

Reagan took over in the middle of something a lot worse.

It didn't turn around real fast.

All people need is hope.

Trump ==> Hope

Harris ==> Confusion, Despair, Fear

What you get for allowing your Federal Government to handle 21% of the nations GDP.

There is to much money involved for corporations to allow us to make our own choices.

Libertarianism is not the answer, nor big government.
