I am constantly astonished at how the vast majority of people live their lives like this. Look at the poll on this thread, almost 15% more people thought Harris was going to win than thought Trump was. I find it so odd how people struggle to differentiate between thinking something is going to happen, and wanting it to happen. They are two completely different things.
I also cannot understand why so many people in the UK seem to have absolutely no idea why your average American would vote for Trump. People really do struggle to put themselves in other people's shoes.

America would put Hulk Hogan in the white house if he ran for president

In fairness, he is a real American, fights for the rights of every man.

The one good thing is next time Trump can't stand although we don't know which looney tune he will get behind.

Rings a bell. It's what Obama did with Crimea, isn't it?

I cannot understand why your average American would vote for him. I don't generally struggle with empathising with other people, in fact I am usually quite good at it.
Can you enlighten me?
I have heard that they voted for him to improve their lot economically. But I remain unconvinced that he is a better economic candidate and his policy of adding taffifs to Chinese imports is surely going to make the cost of living higher. So I don't understand this.
The ABC over here said the exit polls showed that the main reason people voted was democracy. And his track record in this area seems sketchy to say the least. So I don't understand this either.
Wait for the law change, just like Putin did.

You are right, I ticked Trump would win, not because that is what I wanted, far from it, but what I expected.

He'll doubtless try and change the rules on that. He's already hinted at it. Worked for his mate Putin

Trump will change the rules and stand again in 2028. I think his next campaign slogan will appeal more directly to his base, maybe something punchy like:
"Suck my cock, bitch"

With Congress, the House and the Supreme Court on side, the rules on term limits are as easily changed as Roe v Wade was. If the world wants rid, cheeseburgers seem a better bet than America’s institutions.

You could be right & with a Republican Senate & Congress plus Supreme Court there nothing to stop him
Well, I just put myself into a fat idiot from Idaho's shoes and I still can't see it.

Whether you like him or hate him, you absolutely cannot deny that he's fascinating. I think that has to be a redeeming feature.
What is it about woke culture that you don't like?
When I wrote that post, I did type the line "Frankly, I wouldn't even rule out Trump winning the popular vote right now" but then I reflected that I was tired, emotional and gloomy, so I deleted it.
