Summary

This victory makes Trump the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland and the first with a criminal conviction to hold office.

Democrats were shocked by the loss, particularly as exit polls revealed significant shifts among key demographics: Latino men favored Trump by 10 points, and more voters identified as independents or unaffiliated.

The economy was the top priority for Trump supporters, while Harris voters emphasized democracy and abortion rights.

The election also showed increased dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, as 72% of voters expressed anger or frustration.

    Fuck it, let’s start one right now and be so loud these next four years Trump sends us to one of his camps he’ll be opening soon. Anything, my mind is screaming and I’m not doing this again. I want a real fucking Left over here that actually cares and I want Citizens United to eat fucking dirt. This is much too exhausting and maddening to see year after year as shit continues to get worse and the rich get richer. I half hope the Earth collapses within the next five years just so these denier fucks can feel her wrath. But obv thats not a good line of thought.

      I’m stating to see the perspective of Ye Wenjie in 3 Body Problem when she effectively tells the aliens to come destroy humanity, because we’ve fucked it up.

        Same. I’m so distraught that I am considering industrial sabotage just to potentially buy the future a few more minutes. Or maybe just to feel like for once I have some control over what happens in my life instead of some dickhead with way too much money that I’ve never met.
