There is nothing that God, man, or the Constitution can do about the fact that we elected Trump, because we did it to ourselves.

Summary

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.

The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.

By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.

    Trump won because the DNC underestimated the sexists, racists and the idiot woke who think they somehow did something with this for palestine.

    Editorial note:

    i know woke is a poisoned word but I like to use to describe idiots who think they are so smart and better than others that they would rather let trump elected than admit that voting for the lesser evil is the right thing to do

      Nailed it. People are still mad that Obama made it into the White House and we’re forever going to pay for it. And a black woman running for president? Americans all saw Trump’s serious cognitive decline — I don’t doubt that any outside of a hardcore few didn’t — but America made for damn sure it wouldn’t be Kamala.

      Trump won because Harris was a shitty candidate who never won a primary for the president.

      I was hoping she’d pull off a victory anyways but the lesson we should take away is that if a sitting president needs to step down from running for another term we need to have a snap election.

      This all went to hell when Harris was appointed as our candidate.

      I called it back in July when I said Democrats should have run Fetterman. Only appearance matters to the majority of Americans.

        And Trump didn’t? It’s always very telling when you all love shouting BOTH SIDES from the mountain tops, but when it comes to blame-

        Well that’s different.

        Trump had nothing to campaign on. He insulted and threw temper tantrums. Yet…. Harris Rand a dog shit campaign…

        Got it.

          Because his dogshit campaign doesn’t matter to his supporters, but Kamala’s less dogshit but still quite shit campaign does matter to her supporters. What you’re doing now is attempting to use Trump’s supporters as a benchmark for how the DNC supporters should act against, and that’s the stupidest thing you can do after seeing the result of this election. You guys really are trying your hardest to not look at the real problem just so you can avoid taking the slightest blame for this election result.
