So I didn't follow the recent elections very closely. How did Republicans lose in all these red states? Is the SC giving states the choice on whether people should drive a little longer for their abortions that big of a deal to so many people that literally nothing..be it war, jobs etc else matters?

First of all there was fraud like BS claims of a gas leak happening, funny how all these leaks always happen coincidentally on election night. Then Pennsylvania had their votes switched apparently, and of course the votes always switch in one direction.

Second it's such a small election that most normies besides the politically obsessed did not care about it.

Fraud or no fraud, 2024 will be interesting and there will definitely be a lot more voting. Tbh I didn't even know there was an election happening this year too until literally the day before.

turnout was a big part of it in kentucky (beyond the state's love affair with the beshear family.) ~1,000,000 people voted out of a population of over 4,500,000.

On BLM endorsing Trump:

I figure they got a fat wad of cash from somewhere to endorse him as a negative endorsement. A shitty attempt at both getting people who plan on voting Trump to second guess it and his "opponents" something, fucking anything, to attack him on.

Even as blatant as it is there's people dumb enough to have fallen for DeSantis and Ramalamadingdong so I fully expect people to start saying nobody should vote for him because BLM said they like him.

Big picture tinfoil hat:

It's not about trump or BLM, but another attempt to make people shift on their morals and principles, to the point that they become so used to having no morals or principles, that they can psy-op the population into doing anything.

If you think somehow the fallout of an empire that is interconnected into the world's systems of trade, finance, manufacturing, and power balancing isn't going to have an effect globally, then I'd implore you to actually think about what the possible impacts of the U.S. ceasing to function might be beyond what you posit here, as you clearly haven't considered the possible ramifications.

Your posts have shown good insight and forethought in this thread, but this one is pretty dumb.

With two exceptions, every empire in record history has gone all-out-war when it collapsed, throwing every resource and able-bodied fighter at every enemy within range, in a fit of rage before it finally collapses. The two exceptions are; The British Empire and the USSR.
The British Empire ended and dismantled as the world held its' breathe. If the Queen had rattled the scepter, like to many empires before Her, her commonwealth, allies and owned-countries around the world would have caused global devestation; the empire wouldn't have survived, none ever do, but in the 1950's, the British Empire was still inter-connected globally and, despite losing the resources in WW2, was still a major player.

However, because the British dismantled peacefully and respectably, their global standing was held in high regard. The Empire was over, but the majority of the power, reach and global influence that the British had, remained intact.

Because of this peaceful dismantling and global respect gained post-empire, The USSR followed suit. Another day, another global-breathe holding as the nuclear super-power allowed its' owned territories to be allowed to walk away from the red-influence. Had the USR unleashed her minions and masses on the world - let alone the nuclear missiles, we would have seen global catastrophe. Instead, the Russians learned the lessons from the Brits and dismantled somewhat peacefully. While their ideology is at odds with that of the west, they still remained respected in regards to power and influence, despite the media painting them as Vodka swilling, backwards-thinking barbarians. Don't let the recent events in Ukraine cloud your judgement as the dismantling of the Empire and friendly relations were strong in the 1990's.

Bring all of that back to the US and, we have seen time and time again, that the US MIC/GOV are poor, petty losers, who will do anything they can; as seen recently with Trump, to keep their power and influence. Ironically, America has more chance of handing over the torch-of-power during the reign of a sensible leader like Trump; someone who can use the inevitable, and the end of empires is always inevitable, as a bonus for America. Biden, on the other hand, who is a senile fuckwit, would more likely press the Red Button in response to slipping to 2nd on the global stage of influence. The wars we see today are allowed to slip by because they aren't enough of a threat to chimp-out over.

TL;DR - America, as they stand today, are too retarded to not be trusted to nuke the planet when their turn of global influence-holders ends. They have the strategic fore-thought of an enraged chimp and can't see the benefits to their people as individuals, to resigning as the world's police.

Britains "peaceful transition" saw them all slaves in their own country to foreign races and a complete lack of soverignity. And everyone hates them.

Literal children movies like that animated spider man movie had a dig about how indians hate the British now. England is a colony and serf of the countries they colonized. Colonized population wise by "asians" and politically by the United States.

A few global elites will like that you sold out your race and nation is the prize for going out gently? Im not sold.

Ha ha San Fran is now a decent place to live. Who know that when you have a political will to clean up the streets everything gets better?

REPORT: The San Francisco homeless population has "miraculously" gone missing as President Biden & Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in the liberal city.

Remarkable!

The typical drug addicts & homeless who wander the city like zombies have disappeared as 20,000 people are expected to visit the San Francisco thanks to the APEC summit.

The New York Post says sources have told them that the homeless are being "herded" out to other areas of the city.

"They started clearing the tents earlier this week and there is definitely a lot more police presence," said one resident.

The resident also explained that the city appeared to have the capability to do this all along but they refused.

"They’ve cleared out the tents that were near the Moscone Center on Howard Street, which tells me the city had the capability to do this all along... We need is a permanent solution."

Another resident said: "They are just essentially herding the problem around but offering no long-term solutions."

"I don’t know if these tents will be in physical view during APEC, but it will be virtually impossible to eliminate all of that."

Clown city for a clown president.

Also appears to be armed guards everywhere (with open weapons out) so actual shopping can be done now.

Donald Trump zeroes in on Latino vote in White House race​

When Donald Trump talks about the criminal indictments against him, he often compares his treatment to that of a political dissident in an authoritarian regime.

In the last year, he has provoked controversy by describing the prosecutions as a “Stalinist Russia horror show” and himself as like Nelson Mandela, who spent 27 years imprisoned in South Africa.

But speaking at a rally in Hialeah, Florida, on Wednesday, the former president chose a different comparison.

“Just like the Cuban regime, the Biden regime is trying to put their political opponent in jail,” Mr Trump told thousands of supporters assembled in a sports stadium. “We are not the ones endangering American democracy, we are the ones saving American democracy.”

His choice of a Latin American analogy was deliberate and designed to appeal to Latino voters who have become a key battleground demographic in the race for the White House.

In Florida, Latino voters are thought to be partly driving the state’s shift towards the Republicans that saw the party pick up a supermajority in state legislative elections last year.

Miami-Dade county, where Mr Trump’s rally took place, is a historic Democrat stronghold home to 1.5 million Latinos. In the 2016 presidential race, Hillary Clinton beat Mr Trump there by 30 points, but in 2020 the Democrats’ margin was reduced to 7 per cent.

Nationally, there is also reason to think Latino voters are no longer as safe for the Democrats as they once were. Between 2016 and 2020, the share of Latino voters choosing the Republicans in House elections increased from 28 per cent to 38 per cent.

A recent report by the Brookings Institute, a think tank, argued that although Mr Trump’s platform was appealing to some Latino voters in 2020 who were concerned about the economy, an expected fall in inflation is likely to reduce his appeal.

The report’s authors said Mr Trump generated around 10 per cent more Latino votes in 2020 than would normally choose a Republican candidate, but his support was fuelled by the group’s disproportionate concern about the economy and his promise to immediately lift Covid lockdown measures.

However, recent polling suggests that the group is one of several demographics that are usually aligned with Democrats where Joe Biden faces losing support in 2024.

A survey for the New York Times found that the president’s lead over Mr Trump among Hispanics is in single digits in six swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. A “normal” result for a Democratic candidate would be a lead of more than 30 points.

One of the states, Nevada, has a high Latino population and voted for the Democrats in 2016 and 2020 by a margin of around 2.4 per cent. A collapse in support among Hispanic voters could be enough to swing the state next year.

In response, the Biden campaign has launched two new adverts targeting Latino voters, selling his record on supporting Hispanic small businesses, opposing Latin American dictatorships and giving protected status to Venezuelan immigrants. Mr Trump’s campaign says the president is in “a full-blown crisis”.

Far from being an anomaly, Florida’s Miami-Dade county may actually represent a wider shift away from Mr Biden’s party that would provide a boost for Mr Trump and other Republican contenders next year.

The Latino vote is especially important in 2024 because the group is growing as a proportion of the electorate. The Pew Research Centre, a Washington think tank, estimates that one million Hispanic voters will turn 18 every two years for the next two decades.

A failure to hold onto Hispanic votes poses a major risk not just for Mr Biden, but for his party in years to come.

Sounds like every South American city I've visited. The important parts were always clean and there were armed police and armed guars everywhere. Every shop had a dude out front with a shotgun.

The headlines write themselves:

"Trump wants another Holocaust!"

"Trump wants Total Palestinian Death!"

They already did that when Trump referred to either Hezbollah or Hamas as "smart" a while back.

And of course the lugenpresse over stretched hard.

Though "Total Palestinian Death" might lead to a few secular leftist kikes pulling the lever for Trump if the lugenpresse runs with it. Many of those kikes, who still hate guns and whitey btw, are watching Fox News more just for TPD.

Meanwhile Biden has hopefully lost enthusiasm from American muzzies as that drop in Michigan showed. And they almost done with him, and will remember this support of Israel. It would be smart for Trump to run gay ops that Biden and the Democrats loves Bibi or something just to make the muzzies mad, and they don't bother to vote.

It's a perfect show of the total hysteria that Trump's refusal to back either side with 100% of his power is seen as some sort of "error" by his critics. Trump is holding the regular position many normies have on the conflict: leaning in favor of Israel but unwilling to give them a carte blanche to just glass the entire Gaza strip and asking people to think about what they fuck they are doing.

No, you can't do that! You HAVE to back one side only and demand the ANNIHILATION of the other! How dare you not simply join in our emotional histeria! You must rage! STOP THINKING JUST BE ANGRY!
