DDHQ made the call after declaring Trump the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Alaska, which got him to exactly 270 electoral votes.
As a non US citizen I’m genuinely curious: how could people vote for this convicted, deranged, senile, racist, homophobic grandpa? Like what arguments do they use?
Inflation. “The economy” was the #1 polled issue among Republicans by far. We saw this as well with Bush and Trump’s win in 2016 - for a lot of people, a scary amount, if you just promise “hey I’ll make the economy better.”
No evidence, but this smells fishy
You’re the only other person I’ve seen mention this at all. I said it earlier, you, me, everyone, everyone’s cousin, and also the FBI were very well aware that Trump & Co were definitely attempting to cheat the election, they’ve proven their intent to do so, and proper certification and electoral votes aren’t even until mid December. I don’t understand how this is possibly being uncontested right now. There are way less votes than everyone expected, it comes out in Trump’s favor with exactly the thin margin he needed to win, and everyone is just running with “Yep he’s won we know this 3 hours after election night there is no need to follow up further”
I, for one, don’t believe a bit of this for at least the next month and expect some major findings in the next few weeks. I also might just be on the copium, who knows.
Can’t Harris request a recount?
Trump is the only US president to ever face and beat two female candidates. Quite the record if i must say
This is going to play out like 2016. The Left are to make every little thing. He does into the biggest baddest thing of all time. The world didn’t end in 2016, so why will it end now?
Project 2025, mostly. That and the permanently red Supreme Court composed of partisans.
Historically that’s not necessarily the case. Authoritarians who come to power via somewhat democratic means in their first terms to be much more mild relative to subsequent terms where they solidify their hold on institutions.
One notable example would be Putin’s first term (which is largely seen to be a fair win) or even when Medvedev was ordered to warm the seat. It always only gets worse, at least from historical examples.
The bigger question is whether the US opposition has any willingness to fight, which I don’t believe to be the case.
I wish we weren’t about to find out.
