Idiots, US has had best economy post covid of most countries and lowest inflation.
Obvious outright bullshit and lying time after time works, but Trump knew that.

Can't find a link, but I remember seeing a poll around 2017. Trump voter perception of the economy turned on a dime within days of him being inaugurated.

Ask them again in three months time and you'll have gone from half of the population thinking 2.4% inflation is completely out of control, to thinking everything turned into sunshine and rainbows overnight.

I do hope that if it becomes inevitable that Harris concedes and there is a normal transfer of power.

Harris needed more than just colour and gender to appeal to the public. She is about as cookie-cutter as they come.

Don't necessarily disagree with that. But I still want to know how Trump—with his history—appeals to that demographic.

Oh well my last hope is Kari Lake loses in AZ.

She will lose

Project 2025 here we come.

Hello American dental bills.

 

[Sir_Loin]

Crazy how much Sherrod Brown got smoked in Ohio. Thought he'd probably lose but it would be under 1pt.

That’s what’s so concerning

So when i wake up tomorrow there will be no Ukraine anymore and all other wars will be over? That was a day 1 promise

America has been bordering on fascism for a long time with their flag-waving, allegiance-pleading, "Greatest country on earth" rhetoric. Looks like the chickens are coming home to roost.

 

[ClarkeM]

Makes attending the World Cup (2026) or the Olympics (2028) a little less appealing if Trump is in.

Great point, far out.

NORTH CAROLINA officially goes for Trump. The first battleground state has been called.

 

[CarmenSandiego]

Trump getting shot,surviving and then revelling in it and using it to his advantage was the end for Kamala

I initially thought the same but seemed people moved on quick & Harris got momentum.

I thought it was over when the busted old celebrity endorsements started coming in thick & fast at the start of last week. Reeked of 2016 and that shit barely works with Democrats anymore.

Nah just hang on and stay in. Supreme Court said it’s ok

Just like Trump 2020? Oh Wait.

America is just trash these days. Homelessness through the roof, no Healthcare.

Might as well be communism at this point

I wouldn't bet against Slotkin, Baldwin and Casey all losing too. Crazy.

 

[CarnTheScray]

Or just go and enjoy your holiday?

How could you when fentanyl is rampant on their streets?

Biden is still President for a couple of months...

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

The Western world has beccome self-interested, greedy , anti-science pile of crap.

 

[Elixuh]

Trump wants to start make speeches and is in celebration mode. We’re on.

Bunch of dumb clucks they are.

 

[CarnTheScray]

He should launch the nukes and get things over with

 

[Richmond Flats]

Sounds like America is sick to death of the woke BS being shoved down their throats. This is an important moment in history.

 

[celestial]

Trump, modi, putin,xi jinping. Probably the 4 most powerful leaders in the world, all sharing a lot of similar traits. There is a pattern emerging in the type of leaders people are electing now.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Harris needed more than just colour and gender to appeal to the public. She is about as cookie-cutter as they come.

While this is true, cookie-cutter should be enough to win elections against someone with that many court cases against him, plus a history of disrespecting women and military personnel (and economic policies that massively favour the already wealthy, but people everywhere have a limited grasp of economics despite claiming the economy is important to them, so let's let that slide). It says something about the American people that so many of them think a person like that is better than a cookie-cutter candidate, and that several of them have been convinced such a generic candidate is actually a dangerous Marxist.

 

[Hank Scorpion]

I wouldn't bet against Slotkin, Baldwin and Casey all losing too. Crazy.

They're going to led by enough to get whatever MAGA stuff they want through. No McCain, Collins/Murkowski won't be enough.

ACA is gone. Abortion ban enacted. Whatever insane shit they put in a budget.
