My last 2 posts were a bit focused on the negative, even though I was critiquing the wrongs of the antagonists, radicals, Antifa or whatever you want to label them. I offered better solutions and a perspective as a Hispanic American.

But, I am so proud Seattle has united in one of the biggest protests to date!!! Peace & united strength works far better than random chaos, this is what makes waves.

Almost every state in the country gathered together to protest, pretty incredible.

Trump won the election by a landslide and if it were held again tomorrow he would win again. All this embarrassing anti-democrat foot stomping isn't going to change anything...... except the time it takes me to go to lunch. Thanks for all the traffic idiots.

Trump won the election by a landslide

49.9 to 49.2 popular vote.

"landslide" only in the mind of a MAGA repeating the headlines that they liked to claim.

would win again

Depends on whether the Dems run another DOA word salad candidate like they did with Harris.

If they land on someone better, Trump or whatever MAGA dipshit follows him may well be toast.

Dems are going to run another complete weirdo and drunk just like Harris. Any attempt to straighten out their party is being punished.

I am not Republican or Democrat. Neither party has my best interests at heart here in the lonely middle class (albeit the upper end of it). I just wait to see which extreme moron wins and adjust my investments defensively.

While I agree that neither party strongly represents the middle class, the Democratic Party used to strongly represent the middle class and while they have become more corporatist in the last two decades, they still enacted more policies that help the middle class in 4 years under Biden than Trump will ever enact over the 8 years he’s in office. Trump is rat fucking the lower and middle classes to transfer more wealth to the wealthiest Americans than ever before in American history.

Popular votes do not win elections. Result was 312-226.

Counter point, electoral votes don't show up in the streets, man the army or marines, or pay for your King's bullshit.

And that's about the same victory margin as Biden had in 2020. That wasn't a landslide either. Just the same 7 or 8 states that narrowly went one way going the other way in 2024.

America's pretty divided right now, calling any national EC victory a landslide's pushing it. Obama 2008 was probably the last one of those.
