Only in your head.
"Nothing will fundamentally change" and "look at the other guy, he's terrible" was not a winning strategy. Shocker.
Looking at your history, racism, sexism and just generally being a twat. Off you pop.
Someone making a fair but not very diplomatic assessment of Trump shouldn't be Foreign Secretary while the woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathising sociopath himself becomes the "leader of the free world"?
I agree. I found exit polls CNN were putting up quite interesting, Economy was the most significant reason and even their voxpops with Trump voters, who mostly appeared to be of the non-MAGA variety, were talking about inflation as the main driver. Even immigration was showing up fifth on the list at around 11% in some areas.
Because a lot of people immerse themselves in the depth of the claptrap, there's a belief that MAGA is driving this. I can't help but wonder if it's possible that the MAGA crap is a smaller segment of the vote for him and the larger percentage just feels left behind by the economy and they are of the view the republicans will help because low taxes etc. Maybe for those voters they aren't connected with the day to day, they just want a change and after Trump's first term probably passed for them without major concerns (COVID excepting) they felt the risk was overblown?
I thought a really interesting one was that of those polled most made their minds up in September. Perhaps if Harris had given a clearer message on the economy in the debate it might have helped, but she was still tied to the Biden administration. If the economy was always going to be the deciding factor, she would always have had trouble with it, and possibly the only way of a Democrat winning was someone running a successful state, not bound to the administration, being nominated and there being a clean break from Biden's administration.
I don't know, we're all speculating, but I find it hard to believe that Trump voters I saw last night that voted Biden last time all just bought into the MAGA vision after reading Elon tweets.
If he wanted to go then that was his decision. Activists and campaigners can do that. I don't think Starmer could have stopped them.
Adios racist shite.
Especially as it has voted to be led by a convicted criminal.
Gavin Newsom has 2 years to prepare a strategy to take down the Couch fecker and the Project 2025 establishment
It depends what crime we are talking about. "Knife crime" in Germany, which wasn't even an own category 10 years ago, is at a record high. So is "gang rape". Theft crime on the other hand is at a record low, true. So what does my wife care about? That she is less likely to have her purse snatched or that she is much more likely to get assaulted by Afghan and Syrian immigrants when she is on the streets alone at night?
Here is the statistics in pictures:
https://www.bild.de/ig/3bc85527-e533-4e8b-b316-e68a29b53401/mobile/mobile
I'll translate:
Intentional simple assault: +7.4 %
Violent crime: +8.6 %
Dangerous and serious bodily harm: +6.8 %
Robbery crimes: +17.4 %
Rape, sexual assault etc. in very serious cases: +2.4 %
Knife crime: +9.7 %
Homocide, murder etc.: +2.1 %
Suspects:
No German passport: +17.8 %
Immigrants: +29.8 %
Basically almost 40 % of the suspects are immigrants while making up what, 15 - 20 % of the population?
No one has a problem with immigrants who migrate the proper way, the same way I would migrate anywhere on the planet and as my parents did. Find a job, find a place to live, get the legal papers done, move, learn the language and live a decent life, eventually receive the citizenship. Refugees are an exception but they have to leave once the war in their country is over and when they haven't gotten a meaningful job in the meantime. Also Germany doesn't have endless capacity for millions of refugees. The housing situation is already beyond ridiculous. It's also a joke that "refugees" can go back to Afghanistan to visit family in the summer yet can't be legally deported back to Afghanistan if they comit a crime because Afghanistan isn't considered safe by law makers. A terrible joke that used to be the case until only a few months ago when yet another Afghan attacked people with a knife during a festival and AfD won several elections in east Germany. Only then the government started deporting 20 people back to Afghanistan (for show purposes, "hey look, we're doing something").
I detest the current "left" policies because as a child of immigrants, clearly looking like an immigrant, once the mood shifts drastically and understandably, I too will be the victim of the mood shift. I watched an interview with a Turkish kebab seller on Youtube. He said 30 % of the Turkish community already votes for AfD. Won't be surprised if this isn't the sentiment in the US for many blacks, latinos etc. as well who voted for Trump.
We've come into these countries in the past because they were great countries, not for so called left politicians to turn them into where we come from in a false sense of morality and wokeness.
Oh, wow. Are there any comments Trump has made that have gone too far? Or do you agree with everything he says?
It has increased over the last 20 years.. but nowhere near that high.. No religion has gone up a lot more.
15% in London.. 6% in UK.. hardly numbers to call UK an islamist state..
Kinda sad they have left us. 
Shapiro, Newsom and Whitmer will all be glad to not have been a part of this shitshow result for next cycle.
Unsurprisingly theTrump victory emboldens racists to show their true colours.
Just the US? I'm worried about the world.
I'm much more worried about the rest of the world. The US gets what it deserves: they chose this.
What are these woke policies you mention other than the most important one to you which is that you have to be respectful to trans people?
All the NATO members are safe which is pretty much all of Europe. Georgia is the only one that could be in danger however as I said Russia is on the brink of collapse economically no way they would open any other front. Moldova is the other but they'd have to go through Ukraine.
You're forgetting the checks and balances, he won't be a madman president doing what he likes.
He'll just be playing golf as usual.
And we know this how?
Most concise/accurate summary I’ve read all day.
I've never been particularly proud to be American but today is definitely a new low. I truly don't understand how over half this country is so stupid/racist/hateful. I genuinely can't understand how we got here.
Those in rust belt states that sat this one out or voted for Jill Stein because of Gaza will be real proud when Trump announces his latest resort in the coast of Gaza.
Better to get stabbed in the front than in the back. Given Trump's margin of victory, Gaza hardly mattered this time.
Who?Kinda sad they have left us.
People overestimate the chances he'll die or get seriously ill on office.
Trump is not morbidly obese, he's in the overweight-slightly obese category. Looks about 30 BMI. Never smoked, doesn't drink, never had any major health event that we know of. Doesn't exercise but is an active person.
The average 78 year old has about 9 years of life expectancy. In terms of health Trump probably sits comfortably average at his age, if not above.
At that age he can go any time, but it's far more likely he manages it to the end of term in reasonable health.
Should've let that particular dickhead stick around a bit longer - at least they was replying unlike some of the other passerbys.
Trump is winning those states with larger margins than what Jill Stein got.
Hypothetically speaking if Trump was cleared to run for a third term by the SC, would Obama stand against him and would he win?
A fight of never ending propaganda comes to a close.
It’s a little depressing in the 21st century the best way to win an election from either side is to bombard you with propaganda none stop.
Some of the stuff being spouted on platforms and bots backing it up is ridiculous.
Politics needs to move away from the whole bankrolling your favourite candidate, needs a clean slate. While the process of physically voting might be democratic the propaganda and the stuff being fed to you is far from it.

The orange fool beat two women. He must be feeling so good about himself. I can imagine the conversations. Funny thing if those conversations leaked nobody would bat an eyelid. They'll run to the polling station to vote for king fool. That famous line of his is probably being used as an inside joke.
Where from?
Okay. "Only white men can stand for a third term." Easy peasy.
Which one?
Hadn't thought of that, but I guess that would be the plan. I guess winning or not would depend on the state of the economy.
That we know of.
I think it’s monumentally unfair and even arrogant to blame these people for abstaining from voting. If they voted Trump, they are morons. But I don’t blame anyone, but especially not those with relations in the region, if their conscience didn’t allow them to vote the dems. They had many months time to do something to stop the murder of these families. They didn’t do anything. The dems didn’t deserve their votes and didn’t do anything to win them over. The blame lies solely with the governing party that refused to act on this horrible matter.
No hypothetical.
There would have to be a constitutional amendment - which now in American politics is insurmountable in terms of bars to clear. Talking 2/3 House, 2/3 Senate and 3/4 states to agree iirc.
