it obviously didn't matter to his voters, it also didn't matter to his voters that he that he led an insurrection, so it obviously isn't the right question to ask. The reason trump won is far, far deeper than that

the law and justice doesn't work the same way in america as it does here, so we really can't comment. For me, the voters in america have their own priorities based on what affects them. Who you vote for is always down to who you think offers you the best opportunities and most closely aligns with your own needs. Therefore, whether someone is a criminal or not may not be the priority

What was he convicted of ?

Seriously .

I keep hearing him described ( online) as a convicted rapist ?!

Surely that can’t be correct ?

You could have added a 3rd option of "not really arsed, as the US is completely mental when it comes to politics", or something along those lines.

The real question is, how did he gain so many more voters this time round? They can't be, and are not all KKK members.

I've read so many things online from people who are salty about it, and throwing their toys out the pram. What should really be happening is how the Dems and their supporters can avoid somethng like this ever happening again. It's an embarrassment. They should be looking at themselves a bit more instead of judging the countless millions who did vote for him

[Crimson Dynamo]

Biden won 18-29 year olds by a massive 25-point margin. Harris won them by only 13 points. Put bluntly, her performance among young voters was an abject disaster for Democrats and a troubling omen for the party’s political future..

It is embarrassing, but the democrats haven't exactly helped themselves. When Biden was past it , and making mistakes...they kept insisting he was still ok , before finally they realised he had to stand down.

Democrat voters reaction to Trump getting shot , just got him more support. They were enjoying the fact he almost got killed. There was some pretty unhinged social media videos out there ,of
people joking about how the shooter " missed".

Whilst completing ignoring the fact an innocent person got killed at the rally , bear in mind these people are always claiming to be compassionate and accepting as liberals ...but if your politics don't align with theirs then it's " ha ha who cares you got shot and you were a trump supporter anyway"
Really not a healthy look :crazy: .

I'm glad I don't live in America, our politics is bad enough. But theirs is off the charts .

Maybe .. I have however seen loads of suggestions that he does cocaine

Common pills included modafinil, Adderall, fentanyl, morphine, and ketamine, according to the Pentagon report. But other, unlisted drugs—like Xanax—were equally easy to come by from the White House Medical Unit, according to sources that spoke to the magazine.

At least two senior staffers would regularly mix the depressant with alcohol, a potentially life-threatening combo, to deal with the stress of working with a highly erratic boss.

“You try working for him and not chasing pills with alcohol,” one source told Rolling Stone.

A Trump win was on the cards and I'm of the personal opinion (stated more then enough times for you to check) that the US election results make little to zero difference in terms of geopolitics and, as we're not American, while the domestic politics are a disaster for American women... We're not American.

I do (legitimately) find it extremely sad that anyone would assess whether or not a day was great for them personally on the basis of any political event, let alone another nation's elections. If it genuinely warms your cockles I find that bleak and sad. Like, I joke and take the piss, but all jokes aside, finding any sort of real joy in this is an existential black hole that I can't even imagine LT. By all means enjoy it but fk me. It's an empty bottle of nothing sauce.

What disruption and division he will possibly dangerously create in the next 3 years maybe doesn't bear thinking about.

Basic human interaction, community and psychology is incompatible with social media. It's entirely bipartisan and an overarching social issue not just an "election politics" issue.

The mechanism is a "win" for Trump fans today -- but, for example, the gender ideology rhetoric those same people cannot stand, is a result of exactly the same mechanism.

I hate to say it Joey but I think there are worse people in his wake. Trump is a meme/entirely self-focussed/not at all ideology focused.

There are other far darker individuals with real ideological agendas clinging to his coat tails.

My hope is that they don't have the charisma to get over the line -- but I suspect they'll be keen to find another meat puppet to get their hands into.

On a more hopeful note, I would say they have put SO much into building Trump into a colossus that there is going to be an almost inevitable drop in their voter base engagement when he's gone. Heck of a lot of those voters are out to vote for Trump, and Trump specifically. They'll find a new figurehead for sure but not one with the same following as Trump over-night.

Harris was fine but the campaign was put together too hastily for it not to inevitably run out of steam.

I'm not sure if that was down to Biden being stubborn -- or a deliberate tactic that didn't play out in the end. The momentum gained at the announcement didn't make it to voting day, and the Trump campaign (which was initially caught off guard) in the end had too much time to pivot their own tactics in response.
