Great news. If I were American this would be a big reason for voting for him. With the Cass report in this country, it looks like a lot of this child abuse will be over: https://x.com/SwipeWright/status/1854463035756122553?t=qNGQd1J7ih1flg6Iku0V7w&s=19

I don't think Trump won in 2020 but it really is quite astonishing what an anomaly it was for voting.

Yes it's a much lower burden of proof. Good article on the BBC today on why Harris lost. One of the points made is that she focused too much on Trump and who he was rather than what she had to offer and her policies. The public already know all there is to know about Trump but they didn't really know what she was offering and she didn't tell them. People are fed up hearing about what an evil nazi Trump is, they can make their own mind up. Present a positive vision for the country with proper policies and maybe she would have done better.

Terrible results for them tonight with Luton winning and Preston nicking a draw. Cardiff in not too bad form despite their loss. Great stuff.

Sounds like there's a possibility of some projection going on....

He's got a thing about flinging around accusations of rape, rape apologist etc etc. Seems like a rather serious thing to go around accusing people of.

That's true but that would also be the case if the Democrats had got in. The point is I'd rather have more decisive victories in politics generally so there aren't any excuses for not delivering what was promised and also voters get largely what they voted for. I don't particularly want Labour in power in the UK for example but given that they are, I'd rather they had the power to do what they wanted rather than having virtually no majority and having to half arse everything along the way.

The rhetoric around Trump being literally Hitler coming from many Democrats contributed towards an increase in the threat to Trump's life. Both sides a responsible for inflammatory language and hyperbole and it shouldn't be happening because it gets people killed.

The main lesson for Democrats to learn from this is that they need to be able to put themselves in the position of an average American voter and understand why they were able to vote for Trump. Many on the left in America and many over here actually are completely unable to understand any valid reason for why so many people would vote for him. They aren't able to empathise with those of a different political view and that is why they often lose and why it's such a shock to them.

It will be quite gracious of Trump if he does decide to forgive the likes of Lammy for his disgusting slurs and terrible language.

Some good points here I think well expressed. https://x.com/KonstantinKisin/status/1854151133385613690?t=2hlHKnOy8dAg8-yE5-WhnQ&s=19

Ultimately I want the best for Britain but I hope he really makes them squirm first. Also that prick Khan too.

It's unlikely to be as chaotic. They have a clear majority so can't really be held up or thwarted this time. He also has the experience of the first four years. My bet is they manage to get a lot more done. Whether it's what most people would want done on here or not is another matter. I think it will be a big win for freedom of speech and censorship in this country though so that's a big positive from my point of view.

She barely ran any campaign at all. She had little in the way of policies, avoided any taxing interviews that might challenge her or her views, skipped the largest podcast in the entire world and seemed to run mostly saying that people should vote for her because she isn't Trump. It was a disastrous campaign and that was the case before the results, they just confirmed it.

He donated to a progressive liberal campaign as well.

Continually calling your politically opponent a nazi will in the minds of some make it almost a duty to get rid of him. If Trump is Hitler then it's a net good to remove him by any means necessary. The Harris campaign absolutely need to take their share of the responsibility for the rhetoric.

Probably regretting turning down Clinton's deal when they had the chance.

Trump was almost killed twice by Democrat supporters.

Giving away possession in dangerous areas and getting undone at the back? That sounds exactly like the first team.

Maybe this humiliating loss will inspire a more patriotic left without the identity politics shit being more inclusive and tolerant of those with a different political opinion. I certainly hope so.

We don't really know for sure what Trump will do regarding tariffs. He says a lot of stuff all the time and not all of it happens.

Oh dear Rory. Had an absolute shocker.

In my opinion anyone who champions any political candidate is a bit weird. They're normally narcissistic cunts who don't give a shit about the electorate with very few exceptions.

Waking up to find out what made shit Trump had said overnight to Kim Jong Un was great fun.

To be fair, I think it's also because Harris is inextricably linked to the Bide and regime. A different candidate would have been able to differentiate themselves better although may not have made a difference.
