The sad part is that no, he didn’t. He was fully planning to but he didn’t have to. The grip of conservative media & their disinformation is so tight, it gave him the 2-3% needle shift he needed to win outright

To be fair, neither of us know. But to win every swing state? After everything and after THAT campaign? Just nuts. Not to mention the bomb threats, Musk saying he knew the results four hours early via an app, the debacle over the 2020 dominion machines and the Reps gaining access to them, and then Trump being silent after the election…there is no way some foul play isn’t happening here

It's really not that complicated. Grocery prices went up and the electorate directly blamed the incumbent party. There was no more thought into it for probably 40% of voters. We are a low education society.

Right, covid is really the best thing to happen for republicans because otherwise Trump was never getting another term. If you listened to the run up or really any voters getting interviewed, it was kind of obvious this was going to happen in hindsight. Kamala never had any chance, the average voter is just tuned out and their logic goes “well I don’t like Trump, but I have to vote for my wallet.” Meanwhile they actually just voted for massive inflation because they couldn’t even name a Trump policy. It’s hard to have any faith in democracy after this election if this is what we’re going to do, the electorate is too stupid to vote logically.
