That's not just young people. If I ask anyone how much their car cost, they can only give me the monthly payment.If you want real amusement ask about their car payments.
So... America still has 50 states. 50 ways of doing this.That is what smells. The pre election polling on womens rights and democracy and immigrants... It doesnt vibe with the outcome. Are you sure the tallies are legit? Trump even won the popular right? That is so fucking weird. What were their approval ratings again?
Here's a news flash, everyone gets to eat the same Trump shit sandwich for 4 years (and probably longer depending on SCROTUS and legislation).I'm saying, they voted for a strongman, they can enjoy all the benefits of that, including war declarations to centralize power, just like all the other despots do.
18-29yos turn into meat in a foreign country under a despot. See Russia.
Has it not been true, until yesterday, that "you can win a primary with him but you will lose a general" ?So... America still has 50 states. 50 ways of doing this.
And apparently our losses were across the board. Everything everywhere gave MAGA more votes than ever before.
It is definitely real, and as that student who voted can attest... MAGA is.. *checks notes* Pro-Choice. According to one voter.
The implications of such stupidity is both astounding and realized.
It is what it is.
If you still need to reconcile it. Remember, victory in 2020 was timed to let Joe Biden (and Democrats at large) get stuck holding the bag for COVID. The consequences of the global pandemic fell on the victors of the last election. Resulting in consequences for this election. The voters HATE high prices. And they HATE the incumbents who "gave it to them".
Dude, that's the plan ... I'd put 50/50 Trump is out of there within the first year. He gets a pardon and its Vance + Thiel + Musk + Heritage Foundation going forward.What happens if Trump gets cardiac arrest from eating McDonalds fries and the US has to make do with JD Vance?
Oh I'm sorry, are you under the impression that there's people Trump actually likes? Do you think a despot gives a flickering shit about any specific voting bloc? I'm not saying specifically Trump voters will be eating the shit sandwich, I'm saying America will. As a whole. If the virgin voters want Trump, the can die nutless in some shithole country.Here's a news flash, everyone gets to eat the same Trump shit sandwich for 4 years (and probably longer depending on SCROTUS and legislation).
The "benefits" enjoyed won't be confined to Trump voters in red states, although blue state residents will be somewhat insulated.
We don't conduct our wars the way Russia does, so even if there was a WW3, it's not going to kill off hundreds of thousands of younger Americans who voted for Trump. Not that anybody would think that's good public policy anyhow, so it's mind-boggling that you would repeat the suggestion.
I could be wrong, but Vance is more of a conventional conservative. So dictatorship and outright corruption should be averted. I mean the overt corruption for personal gain; the political corruption for oligarchs and corporate gain will obviously continue.What happens if Trump gets cardiac arrest from eating McDonalds fries and the US has to make do with JD Vance?
He won't stay more than 4 years without a civil war. Scotus or whatever can decide whatever they want, blue states will defect in that case.Here's a news flash, everyone gets to eat the same Trump shit sandwich for 4 years (and probably longer depending on SCROTUS and legislation).
Trump won and lost both previous elections by < 100k voters across a few key states.Has it not been true, until yesterday, that "you can win a primary with him but you will lose a general" ?
Seems to me to have been the pattern. Yet suddenly. Popular vote.
"Great difficulty" may be something to be wished for for at least the next 2 years considering who will be in the White House, the balance of power in the Senate and SCOTUS.TBD. Mail in California is going to take a while. A one or two seat majority for either party however spells great difficulty for probably everything that isn't a tax deal.
No, I'm saying none of what you wrote makes any sense. But I don't really care anymore.Oh I'm sorry, are you under the impression that there's people Trump actually likes?

State governments need to crush the dealerships. Most of those are directly funding the Republican apparatus, and standing in the way of helping people break from mandatory car-centric life.That's not just young people. If I ask anyone how much their car cost, they can only give me the monthly payment.
They don't know how much it cost. My family has car dealerships, and when customers are asked what they want to spend, they say, "oh, no more than $500 a month" or some silly shit. No concept of cost,
The execution was always going to be bad. Trump cut a shit deal with the Taliban and released a ton from captivity while also freezing out the Afghan National Government. We flew over 100k people out in like 10 days as the government collapsed - pretty good if you ask me. The alternative was to re-escalate.IIRC it was a Trump decision that was kind of forced on Biden, but the execution was bad.
The media can continue their spiral into irrelevancy. It's pretty clear that it has been the ultimate goal of the rich people who have taken over many papers. Your worldview can be fluid and shaped by your algorithm, instead of grounded in the hard truths of reality.Media gets what it wants with 4 more years of Trump.
Bezos is a simpering coward. He undoubtedly remembers how Trump took vengeance on Amazon by taking a $10 billion contract away from Amazon, because the Post was criticizing Trump. Now he claims this action is to protect the integrity of journalism, as if he actually has "principles" other than protecting his personal fortune.
Fuck Amazon. I already dumped them 2 years ago after they treated me like garbage. And I already planned to never go back even before Bezos and the current CEO gave slobbering congratulations to Trump.
Lots of young people voted for Trump. Young people are used for military action. Young people may be tapped for whatever expeditionary actions Trump decides to perform, with or without Congressional approval.No, I'm saying none of what you wrote makes any sense. But I don't really care anymore.
Feel free to explain it, perhaps I missed something.

He didn't fire Fauci because he knew he'd lose credibility and gain plenty of bad PR. He fired lots of people, yes, but it was trouble for him. He gained enemies among his jettisoned staff. He was dragged into court tons of times. At least he couldn't rape anybody while sitting in front of a judge.I would recommend that you take the time to think about when Trump was last held accountable and how being held accountable altered his behaviour for the better.
Look into how they did things in Germany a hundred years ago and extrapolate. SCOTUS is probably willing to rubber-stamp whatever is required. Arming oneself prior to January is probably a prudent option for those citizens concerned.Watch them trying to figure out legislature to take away guns from dems and libs but leave "patriots" alone...

We can Monday morning quarterback it all we want, but it was always going to be shit. And instead of standing up for the administration, they just got shat on by everyone.
Bring on the tariffs. As someone who doesn't buy a bunch of shit and makes way more than I spend, let's have them.Prices likely to rise even ahead of Trump getting into office:
Bring it. Everyone's getting homemade granola for xmas this year anyhow. Give people their $4k flatscreens and $10/roll toilet paper.Prices likely to rise even ahead of Trump getting into office:
