My brother (79) and I (76), were both lifelong Democrats and have advanced degrees. We both live in PNW largely Democratic States. We both voted for Trump this time. Yes, we are abundantly aware of his character deficits. However, we are impressed with the coalition he has surrounded himself with and his stated policies. Compare that with the extreme deficits (speaking of character and intelligence) in the current Democrat landscape AND the extremely biased left-wing media found us with nothing but relief and a glimmer of hope for our country when Trump won the election.

In a galaxy far, far left of centre, on the planet Capitol Prime, Vice Chancellor Damala Harrasser stood before the Galactic Senate. The echoes of her quivering voice resonated through the grand hall as she addressed the citizens of the Republic, after her very public humiliation, when the people said “NO MORE DAMALA”, and “ NO “, to the empire of darkness. "Citizens of the Republic, we must accept the results of this election," she declared, her deathsabre gleaming at her side. "But our fight for the vision of a galaxy re-built on the three pillars of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) continues. We will battle in the voting booths, in the courts of Coruscant, and in the public squares of every star system. We must continue our fight in unity with They/Them to destroy the current Galactic order and replace it with our vision for a more fluid order based, not on merit, nor wisdom, nor logic, nor any moral code, but what we say is right and what They/Them say is wrong. We must be unburdened by the past so that we can finally establish our one thousand year rule, the new Reich, the new millennium led by the enlightened ones, the new Illuminati. “Mark my words”, she pouted, “I will not be “jabidened” the next time around!”. The holograms of her supporters flickered with determination. "Sometimes the fight takes a while," she said, her voice unwavering. "But that doesn’t mean we won’t triumph." Damala Harrasser delivered her speech at the DEI Academy on Coruscant, her alma mater and one of the galaxy’s darkest institutions. It was the very place where she had hoped to celebrate her victory over all reason and accountability. "While I concede this election," she said, her eyes reflecting the assembly of A-listed Follywood stars, "I do not concede the fight, for the hostility that fueled me throughout this campaign still burns deeply inside me. The “Prince of the power of the Airwaves” is with us, and our resolve is unbreakable." To the mother’s of the universe, I assure you that I will fight on for your right to kill your un-born babies, for the god we worship demands endless blood sacrifice of those who would be the very future of the galaxy. “To the youth of this nation, (those who escaped the blood sacrifices to Moloch), I salute your resilience and demand your unwavering alligence to me, for without me you are nothing” The Dominion of Darkness erupted in applause, and the battle for the Republic's future continued, fueled by the spirit of Damala Harrasser and her unwavering commitment to social justice, the destruction of the old moral order, critical race theory, gender fluidity, universal climate catastrophe, and intersectional dis-unity.
It looks like Trump won in 2020 as well. 15 million people seem to have disappeared since then. If I was a Dem, I’d admit it…….then tell Trump that he’s already been elected twice😂

@@typetwo It has an even bigger role to play in the numerous failed socialist states. Consider Cuba, Venezuela and South Africa in the current news cycle. Some things government does better than the private sector and government is always essential, but too much government is a blight on any country. Any country whose public sector outweighs its private sector is in big trouble. And that's just a fact.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Not really sure what you are 'setting me straight' on. Not American are you? Post Social Democracy isn't failed Communism. My point is that a country where people are in general more happy and live longer is 'winning' as far as I'm concerned. TBH- I grew up with neo-liberal capitalism as the only ideology so the idea that government intervention can be so positive is a real surprise. (That Communism is a failure is obvious to anyone but an IVY league college student protestor or an Antifa!)
Would you like to enlighten us as to the positive? I thought they were very restrained considering the absolute shit show the Dems put on the last 4 years and last 3 months.
The Democratic Party side is more demoralised this time due to losing the popular vote. It's also related to the GOP doing so well in Senate and House. Voters simply have massacred the Dems.
IT'S NOT A LANDSLIDE!!!! a hand full of marginal states changed hands, and he finally won the popular vote; that is not a landslide. Labour won in a landslide in 24 and 97, Thatcher in the 80s (or Reagan, if you want a US example)
It is a landslide. Trump won all seven battleground states and took the popular vote. There electoral college tally wasn't remotely close and that's what counts. Trump could have lost "must win" PA and FL and still won. The Republicans dominated across the board and now hold both houses of Congress. Even a very weak Dem candidate - and Harris was certainly that - is always going to get at least 40% of the vote and take CA and NY.
Hillary said that “about half” of Trump supporters are “deplorable”, whereas VD Vance once labelled ALL Trump voters as ‘idiots’. So Hillary was far more gracious about Trump voters than the guy they just voted in as VP. 😂
He got caught on a hot mic calling and old woman a bigot because she expressed concern about mass immigration to him at a public appearance.

We will battle in the voting booths, in the courts of Coruscant, and in the public squares of every star system. We must continue our fight in unity with They/Them to destroy the current Galactic order and replace it with our vision for a more fluid order based, not on merit, nor wisdom, nor logic, nor any moral code, but what we say is right and what They/Them say is wrong. We must be unburdened by the past so that we can finally establish our one thousand year rule, the new Reich, the new millennium led by the enlightened ones, the new Illuminati.
“Mark my words”, she pouted, “I will not be “jabidened” the next time around!”.
The holograms of her supporters flickered with determination. "Sometimes the fight takes a while," she said, her voice unwavering. "But that doesn’t mean we won’t triumph."
Damala Harrasser delivered her speech at the DEI Academy on Coruscant, her alma mater and one of the galaxy’s darkest institutions. It was the very place where she had hoped to celebrate her victory over all reason and accountability.
"While I concede this election," she said, her eyes reflecting the assembly of A-listed Follywood stars, "I do not concede the fight, for the hostility that fueled me throughout this campaign still burns deeply inside me. The “Prince of the power of the Airwaves” is with us, and our resolve is unbreakable." To the mother’s of the universe, I assure you that I will fight on for your right to kill your un-born babies, for the god we worship demands endless blood sacrifice of those who would be the very future of the galaxy.
“To the youth of this nation, (those who escaped the blood sacrifices to Moloch), I salute your resilience and demand your unwavering alligence to me, for without me you are nothing”
The Dominion of Darkness erupted in applause, and the battle for the Republic's future continued, fueled by the spirit of Damala Harrasser and her unwavering commitment to social justice, the destruction of the old moral order, critical race theory, gender fluidity, universal climate catastrophe, and intersectional dis-unity.
It wasnt if he would it was if they would let him win
Can you actually have a worse version of the EU than the real thing ?
President of Brazil Lula was found guilty by court. Yes the verdict was squashed some years later!
At they had mercy!!!
Moral reporbate? What utter BS.
min 26........Some Puerto Ricans are White as are some Dominicans and Mexicans, etc
And ?
It looks like Trump won in 2020 as well. 15 million people seem to have disappeared since then. If I was a Dem, I’d admit it…….then tell Trump that he’s already been elected twice😂
like Gordon brown when he slagged off the woman from up north. No respect for other people’s views or opinions.
It was only unexpected if you were asleep
🎯
Werid how you guys changed from the official magazine of the revolution communist part into a mainstream, Trump supporting publication. How does that happen, exactly?
A moral reprobate? Really? Come on now.
The Clintons have that title sewn up
Well, some would not see this as much of a dig. Good leaders are almost necessarily bad people. They have to make decisions where no matter what they choose, people die. A good person wouldn't be able to function.
Unexpected?
Now do the woke as promised
🤣😂🤣. 🇬🇧 Put people in high office the select candidates who can sway legal decisions ones that cannot be fired or removed a circus full of moles you still control out comes
Kotkin asks "why would we want to live in a version of the EU with worse food?" (in the US). Well Joel in countries like Sweden men live 4.5 years longer on average and it ranks 4th on the 'Global Happiness Index' as a country. Aren't these compelling reasons?
That's were the good food comes in; better life expectancy.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Food standards, culture of exercise, public healthcare, social safety net. State intervention has a big role to play and that's just a fact.
@@typetwo It has an even bigger role to play in the numerous failed socialist states. Consider Cuba, Venezuela and South Africa in the current news cycle. Some things government does better than the private sector and government is always essential, but too much government is a blight on any country. Any country whose public sector outweighs its private sector is in big trouble. And that's just a fact.
@@vincentmcnabb939 Not really sure what you are 'setting me straight' on. Not American are you?
Post Social Democracy isn't failed Communism. My point is that a country where people are in general more happy and live longer is 'winning' as far as I'm concerned.
TBH- I grew up with neo-liberal capitalism as the only ideology so the idea that government intervention can be so positive is a real surprise. (That Communism is a failure is obvious to anyone but an IVY league college student protestor or an Antifa!)
You will adjust to what you have when you know no other way. Now, who are happier than the Swedes?
Why is it just negative talk about Democrats
Would you like to enlighten us as to the positive?
I thought they were very restrained considering the absolute shit show the Dems put on the last 4 years and last 3 months.
Popular vote in the US presidential elections is as meaningful as goal scored in the EPL table.
The Democratic Party side is more demoralised this time due to losing the popular vote. It's also related to the GOP doing so well in Senate and House. Voters simply have massacred the Dems.
IT'S NOT A LANDSLIDE!!!!
a hand full of marginal states changed hands, and he finally won the popular vote; that is not a landslide.
Labour won in a landslide in 24 and 97, Thatcher in the 80s (or Reagan, if you want a US example)
It is a landslide. Trump won all seven battleground states and took the popular vote. There electoral college tally wasn't remotely close and that's what counts. Trump could have lost "must win" PA and FL and still won. The Republicans dominated across the board and now hold both houses of Congress. Even a very weak Dem candidate - and Harris was certainly that - is always going to get at least 40% of the vote and take CA and NY.
Labour did not win 2024 by a landslide, you rabid, frothing leftist.
Hillary said that “about half” of Trump supporters are “deplorable”, whereas VD Vance once labelled ALL Trump voters as ‘idiots’. So Hillary was far more gracious about Trump voters than the guy they just voted in as VP. 😂
You crying?
Not really. Hillary went about babbling about Russian conspiracy theories for years after.
like Gordon brown when he slagged off the woman from up north. No respect for other people’s views or opinions.
He got caught on a hot mic calling and old woman a bigot because she expressed concern about mass immigration to him at a public appearance. He didn't want say that publicly. but gave people an insight into what the lefty political class though about them. The Dem leadership have been openly saying it about voters very publicly for 8 years.
