😂 If you mean I don’t take the attempts at belittlement or insults seriously then you’re probably correct.
A message to my conservative friends…

Yup. It isn't just men. She and Hillary got fewer votes from women than Biden did.
Good post OP. I am a Conservative and we agree that we want what is best for the country as a whole, not pockets of special interests, not corporations, not illegal invaders, and most of all, not the Washington Elites.
I'm not a fan of Trumps personality, but I have to admire his resilience in the face of more challenges than most people could withstand.
I'm hopeful we can get back to an America we can feel proud to be a part of, even if we disagree on some key issues.

Some have begun to step up as a result but for too long we have consistently “picked up the check”
WRT NATO. Our defense installations in Western Europe have allowed those countries to impose high taxes to fund free healthcare, child care, a social construct full of benefits that underfunded their defense obligations, while we pay.
He also hired Susie Wiles who is a very savvy behind the scenes adviser to successful campaigns,
COVID-19 mandated lockdowns ended in August of 2020 months before Biden even took office. What on earth would have gone differently under Trump is my question. IMO Reagan, Clinton, etc. would have been screwed. Post COVID was the Kobayashi Maru of political hand-offs.
You JUST said you are fully expecting a disaster/shit show.
LOL, whatever dude. Not really in the mood to “argue” this morning with a complete stranger.
Cheers.
Okay?
Yeah, I do expect that, but I will hope for the best.
You asked an honest question; I gave you an honest answer.
Best wishes.
Which is why you chose Trump in the primary right? Because he was so much more qualified?
I have more than a little jealousy for our Democratic friends that have a chance to see their party get its shit together over four years and come out much more formidable, while Republicans are running a Don Jr/Kid Rock ticket.
Like I said, the best outcome would have been Kamala win in a landslide and the GOP reinvents itself and runs a respectable candidate in 2028 I could get behind.
Won’t happen now.
Look at the positive, Trump will never run for office again is the way you have to look at it. Four years and done with him.
The problem is you want to point the finger at people telling you the truth and you don’t like it so you hate on them because they don’t think like you. I don’t like Trump either but it is what it is. Our two party system sucks. We need popular candidate options and not be pigeon holed into a two party majority on candidates. I voted libertarian party. Wasn’t giving my vote to H/W or T/V. Both bad options.
LoL. Always find the positive in a negative outcome that you can focus on and go from there. Looks like you are there! 😜
lol, Trump will stay in office until he dies. He’s told us this.
If the dems ran any white male they would have won, we are who we are.
awesome , great result. two things trump should consider: repeal obamacare, not get us into more debt
As a conservative Republican who did not vote for Trump, this result is probably not good for the Republican party in the long term. I think that Trump is serious about tariffs, and will implement them haphazardly in a way that does serious damage to the economy. That by itself will be enough to erase the Republican majority in the Senate at the midterms (as well as the House if the Republicans end up with a majority in the House). So any actual policy goal which requires legislation will have to get done in the first two years.
Also, he has elevated Vance to the head of the table for the start of the 2028 caucus/primary season. That is not good for 2028 and beyond.
The best long-term result for the Republicans would have been a Harris victory, because I think that she would have been ineffective and the progressive wing of the Democrat party would have been unable to stop themselves from proposing unpopular legislative priorities. That would also have allowed a Republican policy re-set.
To any Democrat who is in despair this morning, the one thing about American politics is that you can never get too high or too low, because both parties are remarkably good at self-sabotage. The pendulum always swings back.

tarrifs are awesome and they are the right answer. they worked in his first term. they worked with the boston tea party.
vance is awesome and the future looks bright with vance and tulsi and many others
Thanks to R's we will get exactly what we deserve. There is a reason trump loves the poorly educated, they are easily manipulated.
As Northern said: we have now normalized coup attempts. I'm super excited to see what trump will now normalize.
Facts don't matter
telling the truth doesn't matter
Stability doesn't matter

That's what I told my lefty daughter...this should result in the Dems being in much better shape in four years. They just have to take the opportunity.
I read what she said, which boiled down to “I know you are, but what am I?”
I outgrew that game a long time ago.
She’s a senior citizen and I am lazy, so I just hit “Ignore.”
Haven't learned much since 2016. It might have been better to have lost in 2020.
most people think they actually DID lose in 2020 and last night was the proof. they faked it and had fake votes and put in a fake prez and VP. ok, not most people. a lot of people.
I've said this before, DFL needs to stand for what the initials stand for. Until the Dems figure out how to relate to the middle class and their needs, it'll be a long few years. I don't think Trump won because of how he is, he won because people believed he could fix their money issues. Dems need to come back to the middle and gain the support of the very base that made them, farmers/labor/working class.
He’s spent 8 years telling us who he is. This time he won’t be surrounded by anyone but Trump loyalists and he has zero concerns about re-election.
Trump added a ton of debt in his first term, he’s going to add more this time around, too. As for ACA/Obamacare, what are you replacing it with? Are we just simply taking health insurance away from millions because we can? The prior system hasn’t existed for 15 years and certainly isn’t there to fall back to now.
