240,000 muslims in Michigan. That's about 40K votes. Roughly 90K votes separate Trump and Harris in Michigan.

3.374 million African Americans in Georgia. 404k additional votes. 120k votes separate Trump and Harris in Georgia.

 

I didnt leave over the last 4 years.
I was just curious which country he felt was better. I guess I should have been clearer.

 

Sexual assault is not the same as rape.

 

Because I have three young kids who I would like to get through their schools and they have friends. Because in 4 years Trump is either dead or out of office, hopefully sooner. Because moving to another country isnt easy. I never said I would leave the country either. I said the good ol' USA isnt close to being the "best country on earth", which is a fact. It is undisputable. Give me some Nordic countries over this shit show any day.

 

100%.

 

This is exactly your problem. You say, that Trump supporters are aggressive and hateful, using "fuck you" five times. Logic, level hard.

 

When I went to U of O in the 90s, the number was one in four.

 

Bullshit response. There is a difference between hating people who voted in Epsteins best friend, a felon/rapist, a liar, a selfish piece of shit and hating people cuz they are trans or gay or black or want an abortion. MAGA hates PLENTY of people for no reason. A drag queen. OH NO!!!

 

It’s about domination. There a genre of man that must be superior to feel human. Maybe their dad beat them as a kid or they saw their dad beat their mom and figure that’s how it should be. But if they cannot dominate someone (women usually but also minorities or poorer people than them) they will always feel oppressed, even when faced with only a slightly less privileged position.

From a sociopathic standpoint one might come to the conclusion that Kamala lost because she wasn’t white or a man. This is correct. But even a compassionate white man was going to be a coin flip against another white man offering domination.

This country, first colonized by deranged religious zealots in exile and canonized by racist grifters trying to get rich off the back of slaves long after the European slave trade was made illegal, is not a disgrace. This is the pure id of America and it is a reflection of America.

Americans love to rape. Americans love to murder. Americans despise other Americans. Our statistics bear this out, over and over. We are a country defined by its cruel domination over itself, a domination it presents as the orgasmic goal of every American: control over another human.

What makes Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos rich isn’t the money. It’s the ability to dominate thousands or millions of humans. That’s what gets them up in the morning. The framework of their domination is the accumulation of capital.

We are fuel to be burned. Will you roll over and accept your fate like a dog or will you fight against being dominated by some motherfucker who doesn’t give you any more thought than the axe does the tree?

 

I think America hates a lot of things

* it hates open immigration even though most couldn't define what that means and if it's real. But the spectacles of overflowing southern borders resonate. And unfairly, or not, Dems are seen as the defenders of open borders

* it hates the woke culture, a lot. Hell, I'm liberal and I hate it a lot of it, or at least I get cramps from rolling my eyes. They hate the idea of trans athletes competing in women's sports even though that's extremely rare; but it's a red flag symbol for most of America, and symbols are extremely persuasive in elections. They hate all the pronouns replacing she and he; man & woman; and the aggressiveness of those pushing those new labels. And the Dems are seen as the defenders of woke culture

* it hates inflation and lost purchasing power. To be sure, they don't spend much time analyzing who, or what, is responsible. But they do have enough memory to remember that much of that inflation happened over the last 4 years; actually the last couple of years; and they sure the fuck remember the financial pain. And the Dems had the White House when this most recent economic downside occurred. (and the robust stock market won't persuade anybody reeling from lost purchasing power)

* white America hates being bludgeoned about "white privilege". Yeah, most know it exists. Some just don't care at all, and those that have cared don't anymore, convinced it isn't their responsibility. 80% of Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are white; 74% of Michigan is white. Tossing around the 'white privilege' label in those states alienates a lot more people than it recruits. Sure, there's a significant element of racism that exists, or maybe it's more accurate to say bias since 'racism' is too loaded a label. But that's a basic reality that needs to be accounted for instead of dismissed. And the Dems are seen as the defenders of those strident voices shouting white privilege

* a whole lot of men hate being hammered about things like "toxic masculinity" and "patriarchy". It generates resentment because it seems to condemn a significant part of their identities and their responsibilities; to the roles they have. People hate standing on shifting sand and too much sand is being shifted, or trying to be shifted, by too many people identified as Dems. But the reality is that the Dems lost a majority of white men quite a while ago. And it's clear now they have lost a lot of Hispanic men; and that's extremely revealing considering those defections went for Trump. There is even growing evidence that enough black men stayed home in this election to make a difference. A liberal black woman from San Francisco might hve been the worst choice the Dems could make

I'm not saying that any of that is at the root of things; I'm just spitballing and could be way off. But it's pretty clear the Republicans are much better at using symbols, however fair or unfair they are, while the Dems are busy trying to explain nuance as a majority tune them out and buy the symbols the R's are selling

 

There are few people here, that don't support Democrats. Have they ever posted such post here? Using "fuck you" many times?

 

United States made its bed. Now we gotta lay in it.

I’m fairly confident it will be another shit show. For the sake of the country I hope I’m wrong.

 

So sexual assault is okay?

 

So in a nutshell, people have hurt feelings. White Americans have had their feelings hurt, and are rebelling. Yeah, like I said, America isnt the greatest country on earth or close to it.

 

why would they

 

I'm not sure if Trump dying and putting JD Vance in office is going to make anything better. JD Vance wants a national abortion ban.
