Why couldnt we do this a year ago? Im not blaming one person or any group, but we could have easily done this a year earlier!

(7,299 posts)Trumps policies were a hypothetical. Harris warned us. Now they are a reality. Some people think. Some people need to feel the pain.

(14,333 posts)Let's take a look..... we have found so many cracks in our democracy thru tRump. I think the Universe had us go thru all this so we can build a stronger society...rebuild....since we now have found holes...
It is taking many longer to reach the understanding that tRump is evil.

(68,551 posts)I think we're in a cycle where voters constantly want change. Too many voters are uninformed or misinformed. They don't bother to find out facts. They just react.
Yesterday was a reaction to higher prices and other kinds of economic pain.
There is a strong chance that voters will swing back to the right in two years. The Republicans will highlight every bad thing that happens between now and then and blame Democrats.
The Democratic Party needs to be vigilant and fight back.

(10,088 posts)you tell a lie so often you think it is true and if the lie is more soothing that the truth, all the more reason to keep telling it.

(75,852 posts)Musk, and his doge boys were deleting and or flipping millions of Harris votes via firmware
patches put onto the Central Tabulators and Operating Systems of E.S.&S. and Dominion
Voting Systems and at the end of the day it looked like Harris just didnt get the voter turn out
but she did and Peter Thiels Palantir was running a clean up program called Digital Janitor
that didnt flip or delete votes but hide that is what happened.
Also Greg Palast has done good work on right wing republicans called True the Vote using
old Jim Crow rules managed together @ least 4 million voters removed from voter rolls
in surgically sighted areas.
Another 2 million or so were stop from voting by the Post Office and various B.O.E.s
using excuses like the signatures dont match or in Florida 500,000 + voters had their
votes put into question when their voter I.D. was challenged after they had registered.

(6,662 posts)He ran a campaign that's main platform was bringing costs down, and with millions of Americans struggling to make ends meet, it was really appealing. Joe Biden wasn't popular nationwide (About 40 percent approval) and with Harris being his VP, she was attached at the hip to him and it pulled her down.
So, a lot of independent and swing voters fell for Trump's lies. Now that he' s been in office for nearly a year and hasn't done a single thing to try to bring costs down, they're coming around to the fact they were duped.

(499 posts)FAFO after they got what they voted for [and he told them that's what he was going to do]. When it actually affected them and their family they got WOKE.
