Many people didn't vote FOR Trump

They voted against immigration and inflation first and foremost, two top issues in practically all the surveys.

Exactly. This really wasn't about Trump or Harris. This was a total rejection of and huge middle finger to wokeness, DEI, cancel culture, identity politics, toxic masculinity, the mainstream media, Hollywood.

You little boring bitch troll from hell.

R1 is correct: this was mostly about inflation and immigration.

R2, if white male grievance isn't identity politics, I don't know what is.

Say it as much as you fucking want, the polls don't say it. Young people aren't as woke as we thought and they were all concerned about crypto and the economy and all this other bullshit. Fuck you and your bigotry.

Also: fuck you for being so stupid by getting played by a wedge issue, Carl Rove style. If you aren't a MAGAT, you're not better than one.

R2, well then they are stupid because inflation has gone down this year, thanks to Biden policies. It's at its lowest since early 2021.

Sorry, I meant to reply to R1 in the above.

Fascist OP! Your words are literally murder of my two spirit selfhood! My indigenous rage shall thunder in the face of your patriarchy ! I shall shave the sides of my head and color what hair's left on top deep pink to reflect my labial fury! [Continues in this vein for some time]

r8 It's slowed down, but what people want (and will never, ever get) is deflation, i.e. prices falling to pre-pandemic levels.

I detest the Democrats with their WIDE OPEN BORDERS and WOKE/TRANS lunacy so I did not vote for the cackling hyena but not enough to make me vote for Trump whom I consider a buffoon. Kamala is a bit of a buffoon too. So I voted for no one.

Troll OP

Troll thread

If that were true, and it’s possibly a facet, why were all Trump attack ads focused on the economy with only a small subset focused on trans people?

It's because of YOU there's a Trump in our midst and my wife is dead!

Would someone please shit in my mouth?

I keep swallowing it greedily!

Grampy McGramperson, his face a mask of disapproval, stood defiantly on his porch, shaking his fist at the wind. The wind howled and whipped around him, seemingly mocking his outrage. "Woke! Woke! Woke!" he bellowed, his voice cracking with age and fury. He blamed the wind for carrying the insidious tendrils of "wokeness" into his pristine town, corrupting the youth and disrespecting tradition. The wind, of course, remained indifferent, carrying his cries away into the vast, uncaring expanse of the world.

The Dems lost their way. Betting on woke and trans agenda, letting in over 10 million illegals, some criminals, defunding police, letting criminals go free, raising taxes during an inflation, funding 2 wars and the fact that no one can afford anything is why we have 4 more years of Trump.

I blame the democrats. They ran against Trump and away from the policies.

Ignore the trolls proliferating here today.

The woke democrats turned me off voting democratic. That's how I saw that stupid Harris person.

i

The Dems will now move to the right. The progressive wing will be silenced. It's going to be the same thing that happened to Clinton and the Dems after Gingrich swept the house.

Just 🚫

I'd like to hear more about how Harris-Walz's campaign was "centered" around trans and woke bullshit, grumpy. This should be fun.

[quote]why were all Trump attack ads focused on the economy with only a small subset focused on trans people?

Doesn't seem all that small to me:

"From Oct. 7 to Oct. 20, Trump’s campaign and pro-Trump groups spent an estimated $95 million on ads, more than 41 percent of which were anti-trans."

R23, people who say crap like that are just going off of "vibes". Most of the criticisms of Walz and Harris are about vibes, not reality.

To a degree, that’s true. Crime has people outraged and Democrats making excuses and even encouraging it is unacceptable. They stood back while they were ripping down statues and robbing stores. Americans are tired of the left telling them how evil America is and how evil they are. And white America and men are tired of people scapegoated. They had no reason to vote for Democrats as Democrats have turned their backs on them.

*being scapegoated

MAGATs still said it was the economy in exit polling. You hate trans and woke so much that you can't see it was just a contributing factor, not the deciding factor. Grumpy has a hard time getting that their worldview doesn't have the same priorities as others.

[quote] why were all Trump attack ads focused on the economy with only a small subset focused on trans people?

What??! They played the They/Them, Kamala wants boys in girls locker rooms, and other ads on a loop.

This is this troll's only post on this account.

Don't feed it.

This could be true…

R39, they also said the border. Wake the fuck up. Americans want mass deportations.

[quote]If that were true, and it’s possibly a facet, why were all Trump attack ads focused on the economy with only a small subset focused on trans people?

The "Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners" ad played literally every 5 minutes in PA.

You old queens can think whatever you want about how activism is organized, but it's not going to change to fit your antiquated views. Maybe it's just better to be quiet and hold your views, unless you have a humiliation fetish to tend to.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

A self-appoiinted Alexis de Tocqueville, r35.

However, it's cheap sentiment that can be directional advice, but can't be taken to the bank. It's not specific, it's not measurable, and much of your post is WIDE open for interpretation, ignores the insane amount of experiential diversity in the US, and seems more informed by anecdotal experience....or narration from some TV show or podcast.

[quote]Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity.

Yes, that explains their embrace of the unbridled optimism of Donald Trump.

R28 It's not just MAGAs who voted for Trump. Many people who hate Trump voted for him because they hate wokism even more.

Link, please, or are you just pleased enough with your own opinions that you don't consider them anecdotal?

I'm only tangling with your cuntery so people see, in action, how committed you are to HATE.

Woke is over. The colleges will start closing departments that push woke studies, Mark my words!

This loon thinks there's actual woke studies departments. Women's Studies departments and similar existed way before all this made-up woke nonsense became part of the national conversation. Why are you so fragile, r41? Are you afraid that your ideas will be shot down by people who are smarter than you? We already know the answer.

[quote]The colleges will start closing departments that push woke studies

The won't. But they should.

I guess when you don't have enough people to agree with you, you talk to yourself.

You shut up R42! Go read your precious woke texts! Enjoy!

Academia will fight tooth and nail to keep gender ideology going.

They didn't vote for Trump, they voted to validate their own racism, their misogyny, their xenophobia, their transphobia, their homophobia.

In order words, OP, they're just like you.

They voted for Trump to stop the browning of. America-that’s it

How many of these identical fucking threads about "woke" are we going to have to have? This is like the 100th identical thread I've seen in the past 24 hours of post-election DL meltdowns.

Inflation, immigration, racism and promised cruelty to other people who aren't exactly like them (i.e. minorities which is us gays) is why the American majority voted for Trump.

You. Voted for a parolee and an insurrectionist who was last seen on stage pretending to deep throat a 🎤

You did that. And orange you so proud?

R20, Hi Boris.

This is the most obviously inauthentic thread I’ve seen yet on this DL. Any halfway decent native-English speaker should be able to spot the made-up bullshit posts.

This shit

The Cultural wars need to end

No, OP. It’s because a can of Pringles costs seven dollars.

What is a cultural war R53?

R52 - this is a gay website. 98% of drag queens are gay men.

So why are you shitting on gay men on a gay website?

Let it go let it gooooooop 🎶🎵🎶

We're not taking your bait and piling on trans people.

"So why are you shitting on gay men on a gay website?"

Because nobody, but nobody, hates gay men more than other gay men.

I vote for fewer hasty hot takes and more actual info.

Well I don't R58. I care about other gay men.

Go fuck yourself OP. Cunt.

"They voted against immigration and inflation first and foremost"

B. S. Most of them never see anyone from South of the Border, and they have plenty of money to afford cruises and trips to Disney.

I just want the broader left of the political spectrum to stop falling on its collective sword for tiny (self)interest groups.

Stop being guilt tripped into spending all our political capital on one endangered swamp frog, or seven trans athletes or some bullshit artist claiming to be racially harassed.

Focus on broader issues like workers rights and trade unions, clean waterways, improving public utilities, clean energy etc.

Cunt off, OP. Blocked.
