Yet no message was as unpopular as the one we call the “democratic threat” message.

Much like Harris’s recent rhetoric, this message called on voters to “defend our freedom and our democracy” against a would-be dictator in the form of Trump. It named Trump as “a criminal” and “a convicted felon” and warned of his plans to punish his political enemies. Of the seven messages we tested, each relating to a major theme of the Harris campaign, the “democratic threat” message polled dead last.

Populism vs. Plutocracy

It's hard to watch the wealthy elite demand obedience from us and punish us when we refuse to comply, then see them as defenders of democracy.

They've gotten so wrapped around themselves that they're all over the place having a fit because....the majority of voters voted against....democracy....

🤔

Stephen Colbert said it flat out:



To them "democracy" means, "Do what we, the 1%, say." Which is, of course, the exact opposite of democracy.

So I want to offer an apology to my fellow humans. I really didn't think they had it in them. Independent thought is a marvelous thing and it always makes me happy when I see someone exercising it.

:clap:

Keep hearing the same thing... "Ran an amazing race!!"

She was a dolt. An airhead. Couldn't/wouldn't answer one, NOT ONE question on policy or plans. She was worthless as a candidate and should NEVER have been put in that position, much like poor Biden in later months. Trump won by virtue of being a better candidate, and that's all. Not because he's a man, not because she's "a black woman" (liar...). The better candidate won, like what is supposed to happen.

Many of us on here knew that Trump could win, but we did not have confidence in our voting system after 2020. We were all so sure he would win in 2020 and he didn’t, so with this election, we did not want to get our hopes up that he would win, knowing the Dems could steal it from him and us again. We can never ever let them steal another Election from us again!

He should be happy. 4 more years of railing about Trump will keep his job.

The difference this time was changing the rules to include the early votes and not wait until late and dump them in.

2020 had the mechanism of broad balloting by mail and ballot harvesting that was claimed to be needed because of the China Flu. It was the perfect plan for the steal.

Lets hope the Dems don't listen to her.


“You know, I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault. It is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters. We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us. For a number of reasons, for a number of reasons, we don’t know how to speak to voters. When we address Latinos — and language, and language has meaning — we address Latino voters. as Latinx, for instance, because that’s the politically correct thing to do, it makes them think that we don’t even live on the same planet as they do. When we are too afraid to say that, ‘Hey, college kids, if you’re trashing a campus of Columbia University because you aren’t happy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it and preventing other students from learning that that is unacceptable.’ But we’re so worried about alienating one or another cohort in our coalition that we don’t know what to say.”

I have stated before that the trump economy was so good, and he was bringing jobs back from China. The only way he could be beaten was by te Democrats and China colluding to make the Covid to beat trump.

Next the historical lawfare against a former President. A First in America. The phony rape in a department store dressing room that never happened, Trumps first successful Administration and then the Dictator charges the Misogyny charges all of the lies that Democrats believed and the majority of Americans knew was Bullsht. The truth of Trumps victory is that the majority of Americans were and are a lot smarter than the Democrats gave them credit for.

"No price tag for mass deportation plan"
This is good news, but also implies that it's going to be expensive to fix all of the Dems screw ups over the past 8 years. The money has to come from somewhere. Good chance taxes aren't going down, and relief from higher consumable prices won't immediately go down.

What ever it cost it will be worth it. I imagine once they see that there isn’t going to be a few ride anymore many will self deport. Trump needs to dry up all the freebies that are being handed out. I am sure it wouldn’t hurt to reallocate money from the IRS to ICE to high more agents.
