10 Reasons You Didn't See This (Trump's Victory) Coming

Reason 11 - The lifestyle of America's lower class is in decline, as inflation outpaces wage growth, making it harder to keep up with the rising cost of living. The era of constant improvement and abundance—of "better and more"—has come to an end. Many are now forced to make do with less, and the future looks less prosperous than the past. After World War II, the baby boom created a surge in the population and a growing consumer base, driving economic expansion. But now, with population growth slowing and consumer spending stagnating, the economic landscape has shifted, and the optimism of previous generations seems increasingly out of reach.
Voters who supported the Democrats are largely concentrated on the West Coast and in the Northeast, while Trump’s base tends to come from industrialized regions and rural, agricultural areas. Trump’s promises to restore jobs and "Make America Great Again" resonate with many, but the reality is far more complicated. For example, bringing back coal mining jobs is not feasible in today’s economy, and farmers can't compete with the lower labor costs of produce grown in Mexico. His plans to abolish income tax and impose tariffs on foreign goods face significant obstacles. To replace income tax revenue, the U.S. would need to implement a system where consumers pay a Value Added Tax on every item purchased—essentially increasing the cost of everyday goods. Trump's proposed tariffs—10% on all imported goods, and 60% on items from China—would also run into serious international hurdles. Many of these tariffs could violate trade agreements, and the World Trade Organization (WTO) could impose sanctions on the U.S. if they are deemed discriminatory.
When Trump enters office again, his policies could set the country on a path of economic instability, potentially burdening future generations with debt and challenges. His focus seems more on his personal legal battles than on long-term national interests, as he hopes that a second term might bring an end to the civil and criminal cases against him. His vision for America’s future appears to prioritize his own political survival over the well-being of the nation.

I over estimated the intelligence of the average American voter. They will be educated over the next 4 years of no improvement and escalating chaos. Maybe they'll even realize that he's an immoral idiot who conned them.... or maybe not if all the crimes he's committed hasn't convinced them he's a lying halfwit yet. Stay tuned for the madness.
It's the slow death of Neo-Liberalism. And the rise, again, of nationalism. That's what happens when oligarchs and govt get too cozy. Income inequality results in revolution.
Harris lost because of the genocide.
15 million dems who voted for Biden just stayed home and 5 million went to Stein.
She had a chance to identify herself as different and instead went to Cheney and the right.
Except, you have no actual idea why those people voted green or stayed home. You also have no idea who Harris going full retard in support of river to sea genocide and terrorism would play with the supporters who did vote for her.
Give it a rest, yeah yeah we know, exterminating Jews makes you sex nuts and retard strong and your hate makes you utterly blind to everything else.
Also I hope those terrorist and genocide supporters who stayed home or wasted their vote on someone who can't win enjoys the next 4 years [or more if he "fixes"things] of Trump, how well ya think that will work out for the Palestinians. However I bet secretly you are happy as is Hamas, now they can get their people killed even more easily.
Same sort of self defeating retarded thought process that got us Queers for Palestine and Queers against Israeli Apartheid. Ungrateful cunts, supporting the one country that gives them the legal right to exist over a country that makes their existence a crime and whose people are very hostile to them.
Not voting for Harris because you support the extermination of Jews and allowing Trump to win is 1 d chess, it would be up there with having Paul Bernardo babysit your teenage daughters because you don't like that Bill Cosby.
But then one can one expect from a bunch of radical murder crazed terrorist supporters. Chickens for KFC indeed.
Harris was protested during her entire campaign by only one issue, the genocide.
Name one other issue that dems called her out on and protested during the campaign.
