Well stated my friend. Just a bunch of angry haters cutting off their noses to spite themselves.

Jeepers, let me try to explain in simple terms:

No one is that surprised that Trump won. It is something we all feared.
Trump won because he has one single simple message: grievance. 

He didn't win because he has a working plan of how to fix it, because he demonstrably doesn't. 
He didn't win because he has a vision of a brighter better future for his supporters, because he demonstrably doesn't. (He has one for himself, but not for you.)
He didn't win because he identified the causes of your grievance because, instead, he latched onto the easiest targets of illegal immigration and transgender issues, which are not the actual causes of your grievance in any way, shape or form.

No, he won purely and simply because he told you that you have a right to feel aggrieved and by God, we are going make someone pay for it. 
He is the poster boy for America's big fat insecurity complex. 

Yet, the glaring omission in all of this is what exactly are you aggrieved about?
You're the biggest, richest, most free and powerful country in the world and you run about squealing as though someone stole your honey pot.

It is painfully clear to the rest of us, but oddly not to the Trump fanbase.

I don’t. I grew up in southern Louisiana where they still think the losers of the Civil War were something special. (Hint: they were racists.)
And now, the mantra of the GOP/Trump is that the only reason America is in decline is everyone who isn’t white. (Hint: racists.)


I don’t wonder why Trump won. I wonder why - in the face of obvious senility and incompetence and hypocrisy and personal greed - I wonder why in the world anyone would still support him. After all, libral tears can only sustain you for so long. After that, you need affordable and accessible food and healthcare and peace and prosperity.

Trump isn’t providing us with those things. Just the illusion of getting rid of them colored. Again, I acknowledge that for some people that’s Job One. Heck, they’ve even got an anthem -

I'm sorry the plan that both parties have used in the past has caused you so much upset. There, there. Now that you got your way, you should relax because you won't have to vote again.

Nope, the democrats lowered the bar first with Biden and then by undemocratically putting Harris up for election.

And you still wonder why Trump won.  smh.

Cruelty is the point.

Well, both times someone like that ran they were disqualified by people’s fears that they might be emotional or unstable.
So there’s that.

Poor little Kurt. All scared by the Faux News fearmongering for the "most anti-war President in his lifetime."

Utter tool.

Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism

The MAGAs have set the bar so low... that there are essentially no requirements or roadblocks to becoming POTUS anymore.

It really would be refreshing if we had a president who was an actual deal-maker and understood politics, conflict resolution, world and American history, diplomacy, science...

Trump is kinda transparent (and senile and desperate).

You are clueless.  It makes total sense to me.  Iran is almost toast.  If you don't ask, you don't get.  This is common sense 101.

I'll go on record right now supporting using the MOB's on Iran's nuclear facility.  To not do so would make everything else pointless.

I have heard that the ayatollah is looking to split and find sanctuary in another country.

I have seen video of the evacuation of Tehran.  Looks like what you see for a hurricane.  All in one direction. 

People are listening, the leaders (those still alive) are losing their grasp of the country.

This is not the beginning of WW III.  This is the prevention.
