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.
But seriously, fuck voters who need to be excited. You think I adore Harris? Fuck no. But I know how an election works, like every adult American ought to by now, and the immediate alternative was worse.
Some people genuinely struggle with ‘do you want worse, or better?’ Like they cannot comprehend it, unless ‘better’ is exactly what they personally want. ‘If you don’t pay this bill, we’ll repossess your car.’ Yeah but I want this money, so I’ll just ignore that. Hey wait my car!
