It's a combination of ignorance and THAT leading to bad choices as to what in in each individual's self interest. People know inflation is a problem and blame the current administration. They want lower prices and believed Trump’s pie in the sky BS.

The power of being TV Famous. His fans believed him no matter what the evidence showed. Just like certain famous TV people.

Add on the documents case which was slow walked into oblivion by Cannon.

I would be incredibly relieved to see a forensic analysis of the election... considering everything riding on it. No time in history have the consequence for the losers, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, billionaires, crypto... so astronomically high.

“PROPAGANDA””👈👈👈👈👈

Racism, sexism, and misinformed people

So the hundreds of voter suppression bills and tens of thousands of Republican vigilantes removing millions of citizens from the rolls hasn’t made the news?

This is why, all you need to know!

The extraordinarily powerful rightwing media propaganda machine, coupled with millions of Americans whose racism and misogyny can be exploited and activated, seems like a pretty satisfactory explanation to me.

. I don't normally consider 'conspiracy theories', but when i do, they're plausible. So, we need proper audits and investigations, and we need them now. Make it so. Agitate! #resist

Yes, there are a lot of cult members who voted for him. Yes, a lot of Christians voted for him. But that still doesn't explain his "win". I still think Elmo manipulated numbers, maybe with help from pooty.

it doesn't make sense

Think they've moved on to fear.

It wasn't the economy, stupid. It's the white supremacy.

Wasn’t an attempt…It’s been completed & he won!

The reDUMBliCons don’t want to govern, they want power, & they’re willing to cheat, lie, steal, & be corrupt to gain power. The election results must be carefully examined including the ballots & voting machines. Our system has been compromised in a hostile takeover by foreign agents! 🤔🗽⚖️🇺🇸 #SaveUS

It is called 'White people syndrome'. If white people did not vote for Trump in such overwhelming numbers, he would not have won.

White Americans are willfully stupid and predominantly greedy. I can’t even look at American white men. And America’s white women make me feel sick. I now have my own country. It isn’t America, the land of the greedy and home of the ignorant.

Uncounted Democrat ballots.

All it teaches us is crime pays. Why should we be honest as a society, if our president isn't?

👍🏽👍🏾👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏿

People wouldn't vote for a woman. Period.

Einstein had his Theory of Generally Relativistic Stupidity. To paraphrase: There are only two true constants, the universe and human stupidity, although he wasn’t absolutely certain about the universe.

I agree that her only having three months was probably damaging. I think avg people on the fence didn’t have time to get to know what she was about.

The Manosphere corrupted young men across the nation, making them take out their anger not on the elite, but onto marginalized groups, particularly the women they blame for all societal ills. At the same time, older generations prioritized the system they live on over the future of their children.

I don't get why they at least not do a recount when so much is depending on it. It's the least they could do! That's not even close to what they did. Something so important and nobody does anything. I don't get THAT. I never will.

In my opinion it was rigged.

Racism is a hellava drug

The worst part of this devastating loss is what it says about this country

This is absolutely true.

If the first female US president has to be a Republican, then it has nothing at all to do with "the quality of the female candidate," however you define quality. If people are willing to vote for a convicted felon who tried to overthrow the govt, the problem isn't the female candidate.

Interesting explaination on Molly Jong Fast's podcast (Fast Politics with MJF) by guest, Roger McNamee. Messaging from MAGA--been building on conspiracies (and grievance) for years.

Because he didn’t. Elon and Russia… again. The fix was in, and we won’t get it back

The radicalization that has been going on for decades finally broke through.

Musk and/or Putin certainly have the ability to hack the machines I think that was the plan in 2020, but the mail in votes due to Covid screwed it up

I do. Resist. Have you read "On Tyranny" by @timothysnyder.bsky.social ? Everyone should. Did I mention, RESIST?

They want fascism.

Exactly.

Or when they're the ones doing the screaming and fascism-ing

According to the long haired campaign operative , the Amish helped elect him based on their 8th grade education. They don’t believe the facts of the civil war, the Civil Rights marches or 1964 Civil Rights Act, but think Trump is the one who sanctifies all lives.

Because the South is actually a 1 hour 15 min drive, in nearly any direction, from where people live.

It makes sense for them to be in the South but PA wasn’t even in the confederacy lol.

According to the election PA is a red state which doesn’t make sense to me considering we elected Shapiro.

F...them

It's called #Pennsyltucky for a reason.

Misinformation from every kind of media.

Are you talking about Spoonamore or other ppl?

Americans are stupid. That's the explanation.

Almost definitely not. But a younger white man? Maybe.

Targeted ads painted her as stupid and radical and viewers believed it. Elon paid $75 a vote. None of that is a satisfactory reason tho

That's what the Germans said I'm sure when Hitler won - using all the same oft-repeated big lies, slander fear & hate-mongering, xenophobia, etc...More Americans are believing Trump/ Putin's lies, because they just keep oft-repeating those lies. The Truth must be sown faster than the endless lies.

And 4. A media who didn’t do their jobs properly.

That and there is some sentimental belief that things were better and cheaper from 2017-2019, and they forget or they are in denial that Covid changed everything. They forget that every day was chaos with Trump somehow.

It's a country afraid to control automatic weapons after school children were massacred over and over. This is failed state level stuff.

No. The debate killed him. He was already behind. Too much press about his age. Of course, no press about donOld’s age and his demented word salads…

Low information bros who get their news from podcasts

It's very hard for pundits like Aaron to accept that far right extremists need a feckless centrist party to survive. It's easier just to throw the burden onto individuals in the electorate you feel are more extreme than you.

Won’t see one in my lifetime, most likely.

The party has shifted too far left but nobody will admit it. The shift left is soooo unpopular that people would rather have elected that candidate than what the dems offered.

But he ran against another white man until the last 100 days. Do you think the entrance of a black woman is what tanked the Dem ticket? I don't!

Biden 38% approval; 70% “wrong direction “ nationwide poll- deadly numbers-plus right wing media flooding the zone with disinformation (Nathan heller). Result 10 M Biden voters did not vote. Kamala not. At fault.

No incumbents in any democratic society in the World won re-election overall. Lost seats lost majorities! The Misinformation and world wide price fixing during and after Covid until 6 months ago! World wide! Shipping and commodities all record profits! Anger! Only has happened 1 or 2 times before.

He to me resembles one of those puppet government bobble heads abroad installed by CIA in years past, except in this case the Republican party is his handler.

The billionaires who dream of being feudal lords, Russians and Chinese, are trying to make us believe that we live in a turbulent and insecure time, when the truth is that, despite current injustice, humanity has never been better. They vote for them out of fear.

There isn't one

If they were ALL held accountable for their crimes we’d have a very different government and future. The least e could do is expose ALL the dirt.

Here’s one - a significant percentage of Americans are dumb as rocks. Letting you people vote is like giving chimps hand grenades.

He certainly did. He also kept saying he had a secret we'll find out about after the election

Yeah. Folks on the Democrats' side are being awfully quiet. Only a few talking heads are doing the blame game.

What?

You're not the only one Elmo was complicit

What do you mean "coup attempt?" It would appear he has succeeded. It just took a bit longer.

Racism & misogyny + Apartheid Clyde & Putin= Fascism

Cultists gonna cult

Kamala only had 107 days. MAGAts had 8 years.

We saw what media wanted us to see.

I’ve been saying that all along. Well said.

This is so true.

Now ask yourself who has been the ONLY one to beat trump electorally? Exactly it was that other White man. This proves my point White America was comfortable voting for another White man just not a Woman especially a Black woman.

Trump received about 2/3 of the White vote. This was always his target audience. This is where that underlying racist tones allowed for him to stir up those feelings of them losing their White identity this is what drove out the White vote.

New results in he lost the popular vote. And why are leftists taking the "high road" when in my locale they are for the third time recounting 2 elections but it's the gop forcing the recount because when they lose they check again, when we lose we just take it. Pathetic

All the news is paywalled, but the disinfo is free (and more entertaining).

Bannon said it. Elon and his professionals.

A dumbing down of America

The dumbing down of America worked !! That’s it.

I heard he plans to kill women on day 1, how could all those women work for him in his administration?!

Humans can be easily manipulated when there are no trusted sources of information. The death of truth leads to the death of democracy. In other words, Walter Cronkite has left the building.

I shake my head daily. Over half of America was swindled, but 99% of us will suffer. Top 1% will be just fine.

We live in a country mostly made up of morons barely able to tie their own shoes. Isn’t it obvious?

They blatantly lie and the Magats eat it up. Here in NC after Helen tore through western NC the gop reps and faux news constantly told people that the Biden administration wasn’t helping enough. Which is total BS but they all bought it. And voila NC votes for trump. Unreal

I knew about CNN but I didn’t know about the local TV stations. All the more reason to shut the TV off. It’s a shame, until about 2016 I was heavy on the cnn and msnbc. News reporting after 9/11 really changed too…the ticker at the bottom caused me heartburn. I probably should have stopped then.

Sheeeeet. Can't ever convince me that a win of 1.5% can't be explained by the racist/misogyny vote. The Dem racist/misogyny votes stayed home, and note increase of white men turned out for Rs. Personally, I think that block worth at LEAST 5-10%.

Because eggs cost a lot, trans people play sports, 1% of immigrants commit a crime and, of course, because a black woman ran against a white man. Nothing in this election was about actual policies and actual progress for this country. It was about stupidity, racism and misogyny. PERIOD

Since the election I am taking Bernie a lot more seriously.
