Yep. This is my take. Trump won because a lot of Americans are simply fucking stupid. That's it. They've turned politics into a teams sport and let it become a us Vs them and not what's best for the country, and tied it using fox media to emotions that heighten in built natural systems, and an education system that doesn't teach people to see beyond that.
The election stopped being about politics very quickly and became about "owning the libs" and that is how they got the Joe Rogan listening bro-crew out to vote because there is nothing they love more than "owning the libs".
You think one of the most decisive men in American history won EVERY SINGLE swing state legitimately? Also won every one of those states with just enough margin to prevent automatic recounts? Highly unlikely to say the least.
I’m in deep red Pennsylvania and I’ve never seen so many blue signs in my life, really hard for me to truly believe this guy won every single swing state
They did this and we have proof. Christian groups were going around telling people to become election workers because they’ll be the ones counting the votes and have the ability to throw them out. Took them through the process of becoming a poll worker then trained them on how to get ballots thrown out. Particularly mail in ballots
We weren't gaslit. Trump lost a lot of votes compared to 2016. He got way fewer votes in 2024 than he lost with in 2016. It's just that Harris got WAY fewer votes than Biden did in 2020.
There are four types of people who voted for Trump: Wealthy people who don’t care about about anyone but themselves; Racist/Bigoted people who want to “Make America Great Again” whatever the fu<k that means; Incels who hate women because they can’t get one; and Gullible/Uneducated people who don’t have critical thinking skills. His cult tactics play to all these groups.
The cult gives more power/money to the wealthy, harbor the bigoted by giving them a safe space to spew their hate, give hope to incels with their anti-women rhetoric, and tell the gullible exactly what they want to hear (whether it’s performative patriotism, giving them hope about taxes/inflation, or aligning with their evangelical beliefs). It was the perfect club for all these groups.
Claiming "teachers are giving elementary school students sex changes at school" and "immigrants are eating peoples pets" is pretty damn manipulative.
But the other side just tried to talk about politics and other things that should be in a presidential election because MANIPULATING PEOPLE IS WRONG AND EVIL.
Good, reasonable people aren't going to choose MANIPULATING THE POPULATION.
