He picked a team and they won.
More evil than even Leeds, Millwall and Chelsea.

I was thinking about the internet the other day.How deeply depressing. It's like Brexit all over again. To my mind a main root of both event outcomes is the vast vomit of misinformation that spills forth from FB and X. No idea how this will ever be fixed. The human race & our planet is in serious trouble.
We choose our politicians not fascists elsewhereHe can't remain in office surely.
Congrats dingo !!
I get the impression that millions voted for Trump with eyes wide open.That's not actually true. For example, this is a post I made on this thread on the 15th October...
I'll describe a friend of mine in the US. You tell me who they vote for...- Female- University educated- Bright- Funny- Socially aware- Lives in Southern California...you've guessed she votes Trump, because I wouldn't be asking otherwise.In our discussions around this, I think it really comes down to the belief that Trump is better for a strong US economy, and a strong US economy is best for her family's ongoing prosperity and quality of life.A few years ago her husband lost his job and it took him a fair while to find another one. I know she was genuinely concerned they would lose their home and find themselves in a bad financial position in a country that doesn't do a great job of looking after those who fall on hard times.And I guess I can empathise with that, regardless of my incredulity as to how anyone could believe Trump is capable to lead the US.Blindly dismissing tens of millions of people as stupid is easy to do, but short-sighted.
Gullible may be a more accurate tag, if any has to be found.
Trump has perfected the playbook of convincing a lot of people that he's in their corner, fighting for them. He's really not. If the working people are better off, it's merely a side-effect of those he's actually focused on.
Not my point, but one put across, a most important election finally fought out by two candidates of a certain calibre.Sorry, what's your point?
Thanks but I'm not Trump.
One thing to look forward to soon is the release of the Epstein client list, maybe not in Hollywood or a certain Republican supreme court judge.
But that is entirely the wrong approach for Politics.What do we personally gain when Brighton win a game of football ? He picked a team and they won.
A better world, no WW3 for starters.What do you hope to personally gain from Trump's victory?
I guess that will ultimately depend upon what cookies are in their pantry!So I'm going to look on the positive side. Trump will either do no harm, or he will expose himself as a charlatan, unable to achieve what he promised, and a reinvigorated Democrat pantry may rise again.
This will of course require that the Democrats sort themselves out. They seem a very long way away from that presently.
Just the gradual creeping westwards of Russia. You happy with that?A better world, no WW3 for starters.
Or President elect?
Are you saying this is the case or this isn't the case?It mirrors the polarity of society now. No middle ground, no reason, no debate. Its them and us. Thick, ignorant racists v sensible people. The inability to accept an alternative viewpoint. Trump is a vile felon. Harris is a respectable person. Right wing fascism and bigotry v left wing social caring.
You jest right?A better world, no WW3 for starters.
Right wing governments elected democratically so the very essence of healthy democracy (except Russia who have never had it), and I really dont think you're ever going to get a balanced article from the Guardian on Trump. Id suggest you stop reading that paper (and any right wing rags too) as you will never get the truth from them. You mentioned Reform in the UK,what threat are they to our democratic process? It sounds that because you dont like the result of a democratic process you are claiming democracy is at risk? A bit ironic.Wake up and smell the coffee.
It’s not “nonsense” - the ascendancy of populism and far right is the zeitgeist and it’s happening all over Europe too. 7 European Countries now have a far right party in government.
Putin, Netanyahu, Orban and Trump are changing the global face of politics converging in a movement of fascist sympathies and strongly autocratic governance.
Reform out-performing the Tories and far right riots in the UK.
It definitely isn’t a media ‘narrative’ nor am I ‘getting carried away‘ with anything - I suggest you read Project 25, the hard right’s blueprint for change under a Trump Presidency.
The year of elections: The rise of Europe’s far right
After strong showings in recent elections, there are far-right parties in government in seven European countries. Global Insight assesses the threat to the rule of law and what can be done to protect it.www.ibanet.orgIs Trump actually a fascist – and why does the answer matter?
Given the comparisons to Hitler and Mussolini, experts say it’s important to remember that fascism is a processwww.theguardian.com
He is not fit to lead a conga, let alone the USA.100% correct. There is no way that the Trump who has presented himself during the campaign is anywhere near as bad as the hideous villain that has been presented by the majority of the western media or on this forum, and again people looking at a country a long way away think they know whats better for the common man there than they do themselves.
