Great day for the United States.

Congrats to President Trump on making history and becoming the 47th President and the first President since Grover Cleveland to win in non-consecutive elections.

Too many people on this board live in a leftist echo chamber.

Your post is the definition of an echo chamber.

Ive made a thread where we can all track Trumps progress on his key policy promises:

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...-trump-lets-see-how-many-he-achieves.1389325/

These include building an American made 'missile dome' system over the entire USA (likely triggering a new nuclear arms race with Russia), deporting 'over a million illegal immigrants' (using the Army and National Guard), 'ending inflation', and 'making America the number 1 energy producer in the World'.

Feel free to head over to that thread, so you can track your God Emperors progress on his promises.

Do you have a similar thread about Biden at all?

So why did Harris lose to the worlds most dangerous moron?

I cant find good answers but here's a go:

She couldn't explain inflation: never attempted to explain why her term wouldn't have the repeat of the inflation boom of biden. She needed to explain that this was supply side driven due to covid and wouldn't happen again without a new covid. Not an easy sell although trump made it easier with his inflationary tariff and deportation policies but she never really made a good argument of it or much of an attempt at all.

She couldn't explain anything but she came from a middle class family

Charisma: she didn't have much. This is why open primaries are important.

Wokism. Men have definitely turned against democrats. Mostly white men but latino and black men as well. Calling male behaviour toxic, telling low income men they are privileged, pushing affirmative action policy again male employment and telling all men they are responsible for sexual assaults is not a good campaign strategy. Progressives preached inclusiveness while making men feel excluded.

The way Progressives kowtow to the Rainbow people, not informing parents about child's change of gender, neutering their boys and allowing "trans" into girls sports and locker rooms.

Immigration: shouldn't of unwound all of trumps border policies and should of reacted to the problem of illegal immigration more quickly. They should of expanded legal migration significantly but been absolutely tough on illegal immigration.

They didn't have replacement policies in place before abolishing Trumps rules. It left them redfaced when they didn't get their laws passed. But then they tried once so they weren't serious about it.

Education: americans clearly arent educated enough to understand the importance of democracy, supporting global allies nor how the economy works. Cant be fixed in the short run.

More concern with pronouns and feelings rather than the 3 "R's"

Gaza: not sure they could of done anything differently here. But it lost them the irrational part of the base who didn't know or care that trump was forcing democrats into their position with a looming election and will be way worse for Gaza.

Sad fact is both sides need to be at war with each other to keep unity and the status quo.

I think many of these problems are also problems in Australia. Albanese is in deep trouble.

I reckon this is one of the best posts I've read on this subject

No such thing as a echo chamber in politics. Just someone who wont listen with both ears

 

[Geelong_Sicko]

Been on the conservative side of Politics most of my life. I think this is the saddest day i can remeber in Politics. I am staggered that so many millions of morons voted for this criminal.

This is interesting. As a conservative, where do you think Trump crossed the line?

 

[Cyber_punk]

1000 places to start to be honest but he has already admitted a few

• Remove all govt benefits for gender reassignment procedures
• Ban literature from the Woke brigade
• Strip tax concessions for woke companies like Disney and to open up more production companies outside of the Hollywood bubble.

Mostly looks like he will take on Hollywood however and fund alternatives

Hmm. Might expain this (Vince is a close mate of his)

... the presidency is the only thing that has kept him out of jail. To call the presidency a burden, considering what it has accomplished for him, is bonkers.

By the same extension, the only reason he is being prosecuted is because he is running for Presidency.

Massive Latino swing and the economy won it for trump according to Chaz from Fireside Chat.

Yeah they used to be friends... But Trump never went to the island. If he did, we'd know already. It's a big club and we ain't in it...

 

[10571z]

Harris couldn’t outperform Biden in a single county. BL

Uh huh

His name was mentioned numerous times in court documents and allegations of abuse against male and female children as well …his name also appeared in numerous flight logs to the island

He also brought his daughter to many of these parties …make of that what you will

Expect something similar from Dana White too in the coming days

Trumps idea was to have a mini Hollywood in Texas. Its why the Texas governor was such a fan. Trumps about to write him a blank cheque

 

[sandeano]

That must had been so scary for you …

Would it have been scary for you?

 

[FreoRicci]

Biden not conceding earlier was another problem

 

[Malifice]

Do you have a similar thread about Biden at all?

Nope. Biden was senile, but he generally told the truth.

Trump OTOH has a history of flat out lying.

 

[Wce17]

So what happens with Elon Musk now with Tesla & X if he's offically working in the whitehouse? Wouldn't it be a conflict of interest if he's still involved with both?

You do get that is a physical impossibility to achieve yeah? You cant be senile and a truth teller. Its a natural result of the condition that you are forgetful and make things up....

 

[captain blood 17]

Fear mongering I'll cop, but fantasy?

It's both a) well within his power, as stated, and b) there are a number of examples of leaders overturning term limits (before Putin came to power, there were term limits in Russia; same with Xi) when given the power to do so.

This reeks of "I don't want to acknowledge you have a point, so I'm going to try and put you in a box so I can ignore you" to me.

No, happy to discuss, but you have a theory based in no reality in this case. Again, in Trumps first term he had both houses. Nothing happened. You’re jumping at shadows based on scary Democrat stories.

Treatment of women, corruption, above the law,racial vilification, zero accountability. The man is not fit for anyany public office. having said all that idont view myself as a conservative although ive nearly always voted that way,i'm more of a centre standing Malcolm Turnbull type these days

So whats Trumps excuse then?

 

[Osho]

What was that you say? I got this ringin' in my ears.

 

[captain blood 17]

It's not called yet... but looks likely thank Christ.

They called Alaska. He has 270.

Rice pudding brains sorta fits.

He is a advisor only. He cant make any decisions. Soros was a Biden advisor for example
