        Dont forget to also thank the DNC for their electoral strategerie. Turns out campaigning to a left leaning voter base by going hard right with Liz cheney onstage and Harris talking lovingly about her Glock wouldnt win it for the dems?

        No one could have forseen such a thing not working on the 20th time its been tried. The only way to be sure is to try it a few more times. Lets get on it people --who knows some republicans that the dems can campaign with twice as hard in 2028? Are the AIPAC donations still flowing? How can we get even larger corporate sponsors? Can we get Harris some ammo bandoleers and a .50 cal for next time? The glock didnt work.

        Who is even in charge these days at the DNC?!?

          Don’t forget the insane “Genocide Joe” crowd actively campaigning against Harris because Biden and Trump “were the same”.

        Well I think they really only did two things : A) appeal to far right people with their roots waaaay out in the boondocks mostly northward rather than southwestward using stuff like dog whistles, and B) use doublespeak to simultaneously appeal to, draw in, and superficially radicalize the more centre right types just enough to get their vote over the top, to have a substantial base, and to be able to call it ‘a mandate’. I mean they really went out into the deep country for campaigning.

          You forgot the most important step: lie your ass off constantly faster than the truth can catch up to you

          The “mandate”, for instance, is horseshit. There is no mandate. Trump won by one of the smallest margins in American history and immediate turned around to cry, “The people love me! They voted for me overwhelmingly! Best most fairest election of all time!”

            No the actual most important step is voter suppression that they’ve been working on since forever, but very effectively since 2020.

            1/7 of black mail in votes were rejected. If the voter rolls hadn’t been fucked with so extensively, Trump would have lost Wisconsin and Michigan.

            This election was stolen by voter suppression.
