[Politics] The 2024 US Election - *MATCH DAY*

It’ll be the same as the rest of them, they like what he says.
People can pretend all they like but you can’t excuse Trump voters looking past the absolute batshit nonsense he comes out with, the lack of actual, fleshed-out policies, as some kind of deep political choice.
He’s like the pied-piper, he says things that they are thinking and agree with and they follow his tune. The cult of personality, it’s basically the case here.
In hindsight this was very clever from trump and team....

The Manosphere Won
Donald Trump owes at least part of his victory to the manosphere—the amorphous assortment of influencers who are mostly young, exclusively male, and increasingly the drivers of the remaining online monoculture.
Fair point.

So they've elected a cult leader and given him absolute power for 4 years. What could possibly go wrong?
Interesting that you purport to be an advocate for those with neurodiversity and adhd AND support Trump. Given some of his comments about such matters.
Don't count on it! And yes I do know what the rules are ................................... for NOW.

What happened in the USA today is very depressing, but it is deomocracy and a result of what is happening across Europe. The centre and left leaning parties are burying their heads in the sand on the issues which millions of people have genuine concerns about. It's now costing them votes and power. Their arrogance is also palpable. They need to act now and fast, educating and listening to those easily voters who are swayed by either disinformation or who have genuine concerns about issues which are ignored by the centre and left. I also think people are fed up with the gap between the rich and the poor and the right have lapped it up by blaming minorities and the left, as the establishment. Trumps mad, but I doubt too much will change. Hope so anyway.

Incredible really. What an interesting time to live in.
US special counsel to wind down criminal cases against Donald Trump

America is not the first superpower to fall, and it won’t be the last. But it is perhaps unique in effectively voting itself out of existence.
The Romans didn’t choose to be overrun by the Visigoths. The Byzantines didn’t decide collectively to welcome in the Ottomans. The post-Victorian British didn’t want to start either world war. But the citizens of America have actively made the decision through democratic means to end their own hegemony. It’s truly bizarre.

Not a Trump fan personally but prefer a lot of the Republican ideas than the other lot who can’t answer what a women is! Finally there is a fight back against the mental woke nonsense that they just keep pushing further and further.

The American public have already lived through 4 years of Trump's presidency, and enough of them liked it enough to vote him back in.
I think we need to be careful of the idea that we in Brighton (or Burnley) have a better grasp of the state of American politics than the people who live there. Especially when that idea is that we are so much better informed, that anyone who dares to disagree must be stupid. Essentially, it would be useful to remember that it is possible for an intelligent person to have a different political opinion from ourselves.
Republicans make sure they know exactly what a woman is so they know who they can deny rights to more efficiently
