My hope died when she conceded. It's the same thing that happened in 2016...there were a bunch of counties that we way off their polls. The D's didn't care and let us slide.

My tinfoil hat says it's just too profitable for the D's to have Trump in office. They don't have to accomplish anything, publicly wring their hands loudly, and the donations pour in.

Agreed...the community editions of their tools are solid, but if you're doing cloud stuff, get your company to pay for it. It blows VS Code out of the water.

VS Code is OK if you can't afford the JetBrains ultimate subscription. I never want to see a VS Code launch configuration again.

These false stories of companies skipping christmas bonuses and crying wolf.

Uh...those aren't false. They've been cross checked with AP. Also, look at the trends from his first presidency and they follow. It's not a surprise, at all.

What if it does spur domestic manufacturing of something

Because no one will notice when all those jobs are minimum wage, no protections, shit jobs. For example...the reason there's so many Tech layoffs right now isn't the economy. It's because they figured out they can fire an FTE and rehire them on contract for 20-50k cheaper due to no benefits. Trump exempted them from overtime. He's going to do that to factory workers as well.

And you can't manufacture anything if you don't have the materials to build. Check out what happened in Michigan with Foxconn.

Trump bankrupted a casino...it's a business model where people walk in and hand you money. It's damn near impossible to lose money in that model. But he did it somehow.

abandon the Dem voter base.

I'm Ok with that at this point. The Dem voting base is just liberal Republicans at this point. It's time for something else.

She needs to go Independant and start a new party. It's time.

Literally what worked and what didn’t.

That's not an answer at all.

Reality has a “liberal” bias when you surround yourself in an echo chamber.

Humans are herd animals. The need to keep the herd going is a instinctual thing. The conservative view is very much self centered. It goes against our nature as a species.

Which fucking sucks...Empathy is an AP course.

It's been a long game to get to this point, but the conservatives I know are completely isolated from reality at this point. They ONLY watch X and newsmax...Fox is too liberal for them these days.

All that douchbaggery has been scrubbed away in a very effective and sophisticated social engineering campaign over the last decade or so.

The cult leader can do no wrong.

Too late...way too late for that.

Most of us. Well...right after 2016 anyway.
