Autopsy US Election Day Thread - Trump 47th President of the United States

[Gethelred]

The race is run, the winner declared!

For further discussion of the election:

USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

They ended up nominating one of the worst possible candidates to take on Trump. Egg on face moment for Obama and the celebrities who endorsed her. Shades of xyz celebrity saying they'll "move out of America if Clinton doesn't win".

Yet the republican candidate is all about celebrity. That’s how stupid his supporters are if that’s the argument.

What are all these idiots who voted for trump gonna do when the economy crashes , inflation goes through the roof, retalitory tariffs stuff farmers up, WW3 breaks out and rents go up?

They’ve already shown that logic fails them, it will be someone else’s fault

 

[Stig O'Hara]

CNN have called Georgia for Trump.

Double Yikes.

Happy hour at the Casino beckons for moi.

 

[burge13]

They'll ignore it.

Likewise when there's no WW3 and inflation doesn't go through the roof

Genuine question:
Is there an anti Biden/Democrat factor here?

I can't help but feel that some voters are issuing a big f**k you to the Democrat machine for covering up Biden's frailties all this time. Not all voters but enough to make a difference.

In a way I feel freed, like I know there is no point worrying about this stuff now.

Probably the best way to think about it

Honestly, with the economy being as important to voters as it seems, it's a surprise Trump didn't do better. Should have been a walkover.

Can anyone explain why Bitcoin has surged when it looks like Trump is going to win?

Has happened after each election, regardless of who won

Today should have been the reelection day of President Pete Buttigieg.

I guess I'll have to put my "IMPEACH TRUMP" badge back on my footy scarf.

My 'former' brother in Phoenix voted for Trump. If interested in replacing him, DM me. I'll put you in my will in his place.

At least I feel like I did my part by voting for Harris and contributing $ to her campaign.

Ah, yes, the Democratic Utopia of China where ethnic minorities are tortured. At least they don't tend to stone homosexuals and women there.

Same as trump mate

Double Yikes.

NBC has also projected Trump to win Georgia. Harris' hopes are sinking fast.

 

[QuietB]

Yeah. World gone backwards. Feel sorry for my little one and the world she will inherit.

Elon will sort space travel by then. All $8 billion of us will be living in the Line on Mars competing on X to book the best craters for a holiday.

Inflation has come down greatly in the US with an excellent economy that Biden delivered.

American's would rather more of the same from Trump instead of more of the same tired government Harris would have been Biden 2.0.

Very narrow path now for Kamala. It's done.

It was done 2 hours ago.

I will add that I don't think Harris ran a particularly bad campaign although getting celebrities' to endorse her was pouring petrol on the fire. Other than that, she worked hard during the campaign and got better as it went longer.

Trumps messaging has been pro-crypto while the democrats have been oppositional. It's probably the only thing I like about Trump.

Done and dusted.

i'm team kamala, but i have some hope the world won't end. how much shit will hit the fan?

i couldn't tell you much about either of their policies, think i wanted to save my sanity and i don't have much skin in the game. i'm not engaged in anything other than hot-button topics, really. and i worry about the threat of the religious right.
don't think campaigning for abortion is the slam dunk it might have been if it were an australian election.
the gun violence problem may not have been fixed under kamala, but at least it would probably have been attempted. healthcare likely a few swirls closer to the bottom of the toilet bowl. but over there, that's dirty socialism.
if we assume he's someone that won't keep his own word, then there's terrible things he's promised to do that he'll punt... some of what will come will be out of the blue.

hopefully the ripples will be small and i can continue to live in ignorance. if kamala somehow wins i can cheer and delete this post.

Just vote how we vote and let the cards fall as they may

An’t that the truth.
They seem to just love the cruelty.

The only silver lining is that the PGA tour and LiV will be able to do a deal without DoJ interference for anti-trust.

Inflation also went up massively under Biden. Seems to me someone is very biased
