Summary
Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.
This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.
The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.
By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.
Downvotes on this comment are delusional.
The only candidate in this election with a positive approval rating was the progressive guy (Tim Walz). Bernie Sanders and AOC are two of the most popular politicians around right now and both of them are very progressive. Obama won a historic election by running a progressive campaign. Andy Beshear won the gubernatorial election in fucking Kentucky with a pro-trans progressive message and is an extremely popular governor.
Liberals refuse to even pay lip service to the idea that regular people support progressive policy.
They’re paid an insane amount of money to pretend Dem voters actually want the same thing billionaires and corporations want.
For voters supporting the current democratic party requires a certain level of delusional thinking.
You have to have really worked yourself into a position where given the choice between the bare minimum progress to prevent societal collapse and running full steam towards it, that you legitimately believe a light jog towards complete destruction is the best path forward.
You can’t logically get into that position. You need to be brainwashed to the point where literally anyone who is to the right or left of you gets labeled an extremist who’s equally as bad and should be ignored.
It’s what the billionaire on WBs board was talking about when they bought CNN. They said the goal was to repeat Faux News but for “moderate” Dems.
I just never thought they’d fall for it.
