 Harris lost voter support in part because she was so fake. Being authentic matters, and for all his faults Trump comes across as more authentic. 
 Very true. Going on Rogan for instance is important in this day and age. Younger people want to see older people hold their own when chatting 
 kinda.  constant lies and rage-mongering that dumber people love to believe…that kinda simpleton mindset resonates really well with so many ppl. 
 That’s incredibly patronising to call people dumb. These are working people who want change from being hit hard everyday. Trump may not deliver but the people want change. 
 most everyone has to work hard. 

it’s super dumb to believe good change will cone from horrible people.  conservative governments create worse economic times much, much more than liberal.

conservatives politicians absolutely do not care about hard-working, average-income people.  absolutely ridiculous that these (dumb) ppl believe they will be helped by trump. 
 You can’t control people. And that is the positive outcome. People want change. You obviously Stack sats. That’s your view of positive change. People just voted as protest against 4 years of BS. Let’s see how Bitcoin exponentially impacts people’s lives now. People aren’t dumb. They are living their lives as best they can. We’ve allowed massive centralisation of food, media, pharma to kill ourselves from within. Time for change. Onwards 🤙 
 *EIGHT years of bs.  

now we have 12 locked in.

harris/walz would’ve been an incremental change for the better, but dumb or misogynistic & racist people are vibe-challenged and couldn’t see that. 
 Fair enough, that’s your view but the majority wanted different. Personally I’m pleased that Ross will be free and CBDCs for you lot are off for the time being. 
 both g dubb & trump ~lost~ their 2000 & 2016 popular votes.  

trump lost by ~millions~

bernie sanders would’ve won by a humongous landslide if the dems backed him instead of hilary.  

hope not for you, but for most people, freeross was just a subconscious excuse to vote for the misogyny & racism of trump. 
 A lot of women voted for Trump
People of all colours and backgrounds voted for Trump
Accept your point is wrong I’d suggest 
 also middle america types and the south are far more misogynistic (& racist) than any of them would admit 
 I don't see many countries around the world allowing in huge numbers of foreigners, especially foreigners from totally different cultures. So who exactly isnt racist? Seems like white countries are the only ones going down this multiculturalism route 
 🥲 
 Glad to see a leftist who's learned nothing. I suspect there are many more like you, which means you'll continue to lose. Keep beating that drum. 
 Projection of moral superiority. 
 i’m an independent since the aughts.  

~if~ it’s a choice between trump’s racism/misogyny and the dem machine, the best choice is obviously harris. 

non-racists & non-misogynists are indeed morally ~more~ beautiful than intellectually challenged racists & misogynists. 
 Harris losing is an indicator that main stream media is losing its relevance. 
The normies  were sure that she would win….. 
 There seems to be a big shift of young people voting for trump. This isn’t really talked about but I think a lot the young are very angry about the genocide in Gaza. 
 Karnage, it was never about Harris, it was about sending a message to democrats and their collective wokeness.  
 Good observation. 
 Trump is authentically a toxic fuck. But he is openly a toxic fuck. Harris is a covert toxic fuck. 

Openly toxic fucks are easier to handle, to some extent. 

It’s all a shitshow either way. Looking forward to 2030 
 Absolutely.  To be kind of fair to her, though, she just represented the final inauthentic move by her party to try to fake its way through this entire election process.
