    This article is spot on. Saying the economy is booming when it’s only benefiting the small fractionthose who have the money to buy into it, leaves a good chunk of the population frustrated and wanting a huge change.

        America is full of idiots. So yes they might not get it but they probably do think trump will do something good. Or they just want worse for the minority. Idk i dont understand all this either.

        Unfortunately most people don’t think beyond swapping to the other guy when things are bad under the current one

          Let’s hope we still have elections in 4 years once people are mad at Trump for making the economy worse like in 2020

    ruZZia, China, Musk, Jeff Bezos, and the most important Hulk Hogan ripping his shirt off, are the reasons he won. Let’s quit pretending, that without all of the dirty money and influence from foreign countries, this idiot would have won.

      Except that even with these things in place, they could have won, except that 15m voters chose to stay home. Guess which bloc?

        Not that it makes things better but that number is going to be bunches less than 15 million when everything is said and done. Trump is sitting about a 1 million down from his 2020 vote total and Harris is obviously like 11 million down from Biden’s 2020 total but California alone still has almost 7 million votes left to count last I looked and there’s still quite a few votes left to count across the rest of the states.

      I think you’re wrong here, as least on the money side of things. Harris out-fundraised Trump 3 to 1, taking in almost a billion dollars this cycle. Democrats didn’t lose because of dirty money — they had more than enough of their own to compete.

        You could be right, but we’ll never know what the actual turn out would have been without interference.

        In my opinion, it’s game over for justice and the environment
