The 2024 US Presidential Election Discussion thread

I wonder which will be his first policy move. The 20% across the board tariff, or deporting 10 million people after rounding them up with the army, and throwing them in internment camps?

He's still got a wall to build, remember?

[taxexile]

he won because he is a white man

in a country that is predominantly white that is hardly surprising, although ...

CBS NEWS

Black voter support for Trump up from 4% to 23%, poll finds
President Biden secured overwhelming support from Black voters in the 2020 election, but a recent New York Times/Siena College poll shows support for former President Trump among Black voters has risen 19 points in the last four years.

but he won because people are becoming sick and tired of the nonsensical liberal woke shite being forced down peoples throats by economically ignorant socialists and now demand a return to both economic and ideological common sense.

only time will tell if trump can deliver, but what is certain is that little bo peep harris could not.

[baldrick]

woke

rational and logical

[harrybarracuda]

So if you want to know how baldy orange cunto won with two million votes less than last time, it was because Kamala Harris lost with 15 million votes less than Biden.

[BLD]

^
that.

Yes. Even the digger is astounded

[harrybarracuda]

Maybe they really were eating the dogs.

He's still got a wall to build, remember?

Fair point. And to dismantle millions of peoples health insurance. So many "policies".

[longway]

^^ Gloating at the best of times is
considered rude, but in this case it is just tragic.

Whats tragic is spending so much time here hating on trump and have precisely nothing to show for it, except being wrong about eveything. At least, I made a few grand, and can gloat and laugh at you insane thickos and your silly fantasies.

He's already stated his day one agenda is a rapid and aggressive action to target illegal immigration, a mass purge of the federal government and a grievance agenda on opponents.

at least young boys will be safe from having their cocks cut off when they go to school in this post woke society

[Ukan Kizmiaz]

Hopefully tariffs, anti-immigration and isolation will enable the rest of the world find other ways to thrive - South Korea and Tawian will find ways to co-exist with their foes or form other alliances with other wetsern democracies, NATO will find greater independence and less reliance, our kids won't have twitter, facebook and the rest of the gun-toting shitty american culture shoved down their digital throats.
Maybe this is a good thing in the longer term, and the world turns away from american hyper-capitalist, dumbed-down, evangelistic, fundamentalist, hypocritical junk culture.

Or maybe not.

Agreed and he's not good at handling "STORMY".

It's the Marple syrup, innit?

The Agatha Christie allusion has thrown me.

A free and fair election has resulted in what I believe to be a positive balancing of America, which, is ultimately what is needed.

We had one in 2020, and Orange Julius Caesar spent the last 4 years trying to overthrow the will of the people , and undermining the pillars of democracy.
“ Positive balancing of America”? Bullshit

And end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours!
of course, there is always the possibility he never gets sworn in....people have been trying to assassinate him already.

[taxexile]

undermining the pillars of democracy.

a democratic election has just voted and given a resounding thumbs down to the drooling old corpse, his cackling hyena lackey and the vapid bimbo celebs (and that fake "man of the people" springsteen) who cheered them on and you are saying the pillars of democracy have been undermined?

[thailazer]

I wonder which will be his first policy move. The 20% across the board tariff, or deporting 10 million people after rounding them up with the army, and throwing them in internment camps?

Those items will end up being failed enterprises just like his wall was. I do feel bad for Ukraine and NATO countries as Putin just got a big boost. The bad implications of a Trump presidency again are broad.

[beachbound]

you are saying the pillars of democracy have been undermined?

Says he wants to be a dictator on day one, talks of terminating the constitution, and threatens to imprison his political opponents.

You goddamn right

[Stumpy]

The people have spoken in a democratic system. That's how it works. Doesn't mean I have to like nor respect Trump. I still think he is a schmuck and those allegiance to the republican party might end up regretting it. Only time will tell. It was yet another pick the lesser of 2 evils type election.

We move on and wait 4 years and see what unfolds. I am quite thankful that at the end of this month I go home to Thailand and will not have to see or hear much of it as I do not follow the news or US politics.

You goddamn right

and if you want to know the real reason why an unlikeable bullying convicted criminal won the election, ...... then read on.

The woke Left have no right to wail about Trump’s win. It’s all their own fault.


US voters are sick of the sanctimonious midwits who refused to learn from the 2016 election

In both the United States and Britain, every Left-of-centre pundit, activist and social media militant is saying the exact same thing. Donald Trump’s victory, they shriek, is a catastrophe not just for the US but the entire world.

Trump will hand Ukraine to Putin. He will irreparably sabotage the fight against climate change. And he will ban vaccines, abortions, elections, and, who knows, ice cream and kittens.

Fine. Let’s say, purely for the sake of argument, that on this one occasion, these people actually happen to be right.

In which case, when are they going to apologise? Because without insufferable sanctimonious imbeciles like them, Trump could never have won.

This is a lesson they should have learnt the first time he won, in 2016. But we know they didn’t. Because, ever since Trump was temporarily ousted in 2020, progressives have grown ever more fanatical in their efforts to enforce ideologies that are so repellent, millions of US voters would rather their country be led by a convicted felon.

Somewhat belatedly, therefore, it’s time for smug middle-class midwits to look at themselves in the mirror, and consider the following possibilities.

First: quite a large number of normal, law-abiding and generally apolitical citizens actually think that illegal immigration is a bad thing. And excessive legal immigration, too. They do not agree that they should be forced to pay “reparations” for crimes they didn’t commit. And they don’t think that daring to say any of this necessarily qualifies them for automatic life membership of the KKK.


Second: they have not been wholly overjoyed to see that, less than 25 years after 9/11, American college campuses are now routinely overrun by apologists for Islamist terror groups. The average US citizen does not, on the whole, wish to “globalise the intifada”. Nor does he or she yearn for “jihad”. They remember the times when “jihad” has been attempted on American soil. And, all things considered, they didn’t much like it.

Third: they are not typically impressed by the modern mania for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. They find it, at best, patronising – and, at worst, an authoritarian assault on both free speech and meritocracy.

Oh, and fourth: they don’t think it’s quite right that men should use women’s changing rooms. They think it’s unfair and often dangerous for men to compete in women’s sporting events. They’re not convinced that, from the moment children start school, they should be encouraged to believe that they’ve been “born in the wrong body”, and that the sole way to solve this plight is to embark on a lifelong course of dubious drugs and have perfectly healthy parts of their body hacked off by a surgeon. And, for the life of them, they cannot see why children urgently need to be read stories by drag queens.

All the above is, of course, perfectly obvious to most of us. But, for some reason, many educated progressives remain strangely oblivious to it. So, this feels like a reasonable opportunity to explain it to them, just one more time.

At any rate, it will be interesting to see how the Left ultimately responds to this thunderous rejection of the values they’ve tried to impose on everyone else. They have two options.

One: accept that they have no right to wail about Trump’s win, because it’s all their own fault.

Or two: continue wallowing in the biggest social media meltdown since Elon Musk bought Twitter, and decide that the only reason their side lost is that American voters are evil, bigoted, transphobic racists

I wonder which option they’ll choose.

geddit now do ya!

the backlash against idiotic leftist claptrap has started, and lets hope it spreads across the atlantic and hits the uk asap.

Actually it's the ones that didn't that are the problem.

No thanks. Don’t need to be preached to by some smarmy knob, from Kent.
The Cheeto-in-Chief won because there were just enough poorly educated imbeciles, too stupid to see through his bullshit, and perfectly willing to look past all the horrible things he’s said, and done.

[thailazer]

Sure shows how there is still a solid glass ceiling for a capable black woman. Instead of electing a good person with a proven track record, we now have a convicted felon, friend of Putin, and stupid, president elect. The American Dream just took a big step backwards. Keep the bronzer handy....

[Edmond]

Yeah. #Frankfurt.stag-do.2005.
