That was something that annoyed me during his speech. I know he would never say it, but it irked me how he bragged and talked about blacks and Latinos voting for him but no mention of white men, which I believe the hatred towards heavily contributed to people voting for him.

Because what matters in flipping a loss to a win is what changed, not what stayed the same. Somebody who votes the same way every election is not the explaining factor for why the results changed from one election to the next:

Black MenD+60D+56R+4
Black WomenD+81D+85D+4
Hispanic MenD+23R+10R+33 :story:

The black male shift was pretty small, but the Latino vote shift was a political earthquake that put Trump in the White House. Everybody's talking about it.
 
pro-brainwashing
to note here is that the melody_elf tranny is saying that most people have no inherent morals, which is an interesting position that a lot of christian apologists hold; that western morality and moral values come from christianity almost entirely. our value for human life, our love of animals, our desire to make the world beautiful, all that good stuff. oftentimes people will say that there's no need for the religion for european morality to have developed the way it did, but it would seem like people are waking up, whether they realize it or not, that it's more necessary than they thought. otherwise, this is what happens.
 
Here's a bone for the doomers; what stops all of Trumps changes that do happen from not being simply rolled back when the country goes blue again or they steal another election?
I don’t think we’ll have a Democratic president for awhile, if ever again. Trump is already setting up Vance for the next two cycles. All Vance has to do is ride off of Trump’s term and countinue to make American again. He’s a layup for next term.

When it comes to cheating, I don’t think they’ll ever be allowed the opportunity to do what they did during the 2020 election. What happened with the mail in ballots was so specific to that election, they will never be able to replicate it.

I also think the Democratic Party is dismantling itself as we speak. They have no good canidates for the next cycle. Genuinely who do they have? Gavin Newsom? Kamala again? Maybe if they’re desperate enough they’ll get Big Mike to do it so they can effectively have Obama in again. I just don’t see it happening.

Caught this great frame at the back of the press conference of some guy being 5'9 Barron

"you ladies wanna see a level 60 warlock in full teir 3?"
Man this is DC. If that nerd has a White House Press credential he's 1000% getting laid tonight. Why do you think they fight over those passes so hard? Presstitutes line up for that in the Beltway.

Big issue Republicans will be facing in the future is if they keep their gains with Hispanic men or not. Is it something that can be consistently replicated in the near future in national elections or is Trump just a special case?
 
Just stopping in to say McConnell is a nigger. He should have left the public service life ages ago; many of these politicians that stay til death end up becoming worms just before they get eaten by them.
The fact he voted ALONE against the appointments shows he doesn't really have power anymore. It's rather humiliating to him, actually.
 
Im convinced half of Elons Job is just to give the left endless things to cry about that dont matter

You know how disappointing this has to be for the lefty elected offical reading this and seeing the little bit of their base that is still politically motivated only cares about shit like this
Musk is so autistic that he's an autism magnet himself.

Wow! What a great idea! Wonder why they haven't done it yet?

:thinking:


"Uh, yes, I'm-uh-I'm-uh testing hormone blockers on monkeys for uh...uh...science...?"
"Yes, miss, and how much money did Drumpf take from you when he cancelled grants?"
"$500,000!"
"Oh wow, that's a lot. Your work must be very important. What have you been working on?"
"My team is in charge of ... well, spreading atheism in Tibet. It's a cause very near to my heart."
 
Their conduct didn't wipe them out politically in 2020 and 2024 so it's probably fair to expect they'll keep the course unless some disaster that negatively effects the Democratic Party as a whole comes about.
This is what the Democrats did to an entire generation and they will have to deal with the consequences of it.

remember that even live TV isn't really 'live'. it's on i think a 10 or more second delay so that if something horrible happens they can cut footage before it gets aired. wouldn't want to show timmy and sarah a news anchor getting decapitated live or see him getting sucked into a jet turbine or something.

Rain, brother
probably also this.

That is true but also consider that they we are able to get 48% of the national vote with a candidate very few people cared about before they were put into the presidential campaign race with only 4 months left to go.
