Summary

"It's simple, really. We liked the way things were four years ago," said Samuel Negron, a Pennsylvania state constable and member of the large Puerto Rican community in the city of Allentown.

Donald Trump achieved a decisive victory over Kamala Harris, capturing key demographics that traditionally supported Democrats. He gained substantial support from white working-class voters, saw a 14-point increase among Latino voters, and performed better than expected with younger voters, especially men.

Economic concerns, particularly inflation, were central to Trump’s appeal, with voters across states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin favoring his promises of lower prices and stricter immigration policies.

Harris struggled to retain support in diverse and working-class areas, as voters blamed Democrats for economic hardships.

4 years ago...in the height of COVID?

You know you won't be given a phone call or sent a new driver's license or something when we've entered idiocracy. You'll just wake up one day and be in it. And that one day was about two days ago.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

Idiocracy would be an upgrade, it has a president who listened to people smarter than himself.

[–] Snapz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

But he wasn't the first president along their path of decline, right? He's the dude that was left with the pending shortage of burrito fixings and finally had to get serious about shit.

Also maybe Commacho is the archetype for what a democratic nominee will have to devolve into to finally be "heard" by the broken weirdo populous that use politics as a sport and life identity.

Go read all the headlines about "dems don't know how to communicate with large parts of America" - that statement doesn't mean they said "you all" when they should have said "y'all"... It means that J.D. Pritzker has to start wearing a hot dog costume, legally change his name to "$HITcago DOG" go around the country for the next four years holding rallies where he farts the national anthem, gives everyone who attends a FULL SIZE Snickers bar and humps a blow up doll with marge taylor greene's face taped to it. Along the way, he'll gently sprinkle in messaging, but all of this will also involve just so many compromised principles in a continuing Overton window shift, where the platform devolves to "don't be a dick sometimes, asshole". There's your bumper sticker.

I mean, Camacho was also black, so definitely not a Republican president.

Relax, ICE may empty their facilities, bit life will go on as normal. The rule of law will prevail.

[–] VantaBrandon 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)
