It appears that California is desperately trying to close that monumental gap between Harris’ vote count and Joe Biden’s now very curious “record” 81 million “votes”.

My prediction is that by Christmas, Harris will have 100 million votes, 40 million of which will be from California, making her the most popular non-president of all time.
 
This isn’t a discussion about his policies. I’m more than happy to have that discussion with you, but this isn’t it.

It’s a discussion about you and your crowd over there, somehow believing — against all the available evidence — that you still occupy the intellectual and moral high ground.

Noting this started with my post that you copied in from another thread which was specifically about Trump's policies and what happens next, but sure, happy to postpone our discussion about those policies to a later date.

I'm sure if you had a crippling inferiority complex you might call people holding different points of view to you "occupying the intellectual/moral high ground" or even "trying to take away my freedom of speech". Personally I would just call it 2 people with different opinions having a healthy debate. It continues to amuse me how sensitive and delicate you are whenever people call out your daft and mostly incorrect opinions.

It’s a discussion about you and your crowd over there, somehow believing — against all the available evidence — that you still occupy the intellectual and moral high ground.

It’s also about the propaganda news sources you consume that continue to ratify this delusional, broken belief system in all of you.

I’m old enough to remember you and some others over the last few years posting about how the Dems didn’t really create a border crisis, & how it was all a big conspiracy theory, and here, look at this chart proving that it’s all very complicated!

Aren’t you mad at the people who had you believe that bullshit? Don’t you possess the slightest ounce of introspection to determine they might be bullshitting you about a lot of other things too?

You have all spent the last three or four years crapping on about “democracy” and now democracy has delivered a crushing, terminal blow to your entire worldview, and your only response to that is…

I see.

And was it a crushing, terminal blow to your entire world view when Trump lost in 2020? What about when Labor won the 2022 election here in Aus and the 2024 election in the UK?

Do we just lurch from one terminal world view crushing event to another every 6 months, flip flopping from one side of politics to the other? F*** me, how dramatic. It must be stressful rattling around in your head during changes in government.

Claiming Trump's election as a decisive validation for each and every opinion you've ever held is exactly the sort of simplistic analysis we've come to expect from you Pete. There's a word for people like you who wrap their entire identity and happiness around the success of one man. It's called a cult.

Back in reality, the world is constantly changing. Like every other election, this one reveals something new about the people around us and why they voted a certain way. It's self evident that Trump's pitch to the American people was better and he deserved to win this time. No-one is disputing that.

There's an interesting and worthwhile discussion to be had about longer term socioeconomic trends and other factors that contributed to this result. There's also a discussion to be had about his policies, his competence and whether like Biden he's cognitively up to the job, and whether he is actually going to make life better for those who voted for them.

Happy to be proven wrong but as I said the other day, my prediction is he’ll spend the next 4 years doing what he’s always done, rage baiting about gay people and immigrants, then with a sleight of hand shifting more power and wealth and tipping the scales further in favour of his billionaire mates (Putin, Musk etc).

This is nothing new. If you've been around for long enough or picked up a history book about populist and right wing leaders in times of economic downturn, you'd know this playbook has been used many times before.

I made mention of this before the election that young men (myself included) would be a key demographic. I see so much hate and demoralisation from the left side of politics for just being a man and it's no surprise men like myself have become more conservative. Trump won young men by 2 points in the final polls while Kamala won women by 24 points, showing a pretty substantial gender divide (abortion probably inflated those numbers).

Scott Galloway again nailing the points that the left has a problem with taking men's issues seriously and continuing to use demonising language. Until they start dropping stupid terms like toxic masculinity, they will continue to alienate a key co-hort. This applies around the world, not just the United States.

 


So according to the bald chick, the act of intercourse isn't about procreation or expression of love or lust, it's about power to manipulate political voting. And this total oxygen thief reckons this is a statement that you want published in the real world? Seriously, how demented are their echo chambers, surely nobody thinks a properly functioning and well adjusted human thinks putting this on social media proves anything apart from their insanity.

Galloway’s a clever guy. Worth listening to.

I think we should all be thankful that they are advertising their severe mental illnesses to the world as its akin to sticking neon sign on their foreheads to avoid at all costs - it makes our lives easier. They are literally flushing themselves from the hedgerows...who knows, maybe some people like that have even posed on the TDS thread before heaven forbid :smirk:
