You said: "This is not what Americans voted for, but it is what they are going to get under Donald Trump."

It's exactly what they voted for. This plan isn't news. They just weren't paying attention when they voted. They only heard egg and gas prices would go down. (Which, of course, they are not).

Additionally we have paid and do pay for both Medicare and Social Security which are a few of many govt funds Trump & balless Republicans want to grab, leaving us no recourse. MAGAS…listen !think ! READ FOR CHRISTS SAKE!

Anyone who gets hurt by Trump should’ve understood what they were voting for. Anyone who didn’t vote for Trump or anyone else must realize the consequences for lack of participation in civics. Maybe this just has to happen for people to understand the consequences of apathy and falling for a con. I’m deeply saddened for them, but c’est la vie.

And how exactly were they supposed to understand when the media reported Trump’s lies as truth? Most people who vote barely pay attention and they definitely don’t understand Trump’s real positions. —-Jason

He’s a pathological liar, that’s how. I had no trouble telling lies from truth. If you’re rube, you gotta expect to be shaken down. There were plenty of places to go to understand what the actual truth was. You invest something like a vote in an elected official, you better do your freaking research.

But they managed to convince far too many that everything they heard or read that contradicted he and his party’s lies, were the lies. That has been most frustrating for those of us who saw through the BS.

No—the voters had an obligation to READ the detailed warnings by learned experts on Substack and elsewhere, to KNOW the truth about Trump and Republican cowards who supported him with propaganda and lies! They were too lazy to learn the truth, or worse—brainwashed!!!

Let’s see how much theft from ordinary citizens to feed the selfish rich whose hunger for more and more wealth is never sated is required before the people rise up against the felon tyrant and, metaphorically, Mussolinize him.

You assume that everyone who gets hurt either voted trump or didn’t vote. You know who did show up for Kamala in a big way? Black people, especially black women. Guess who will hurt the most under trump..? It’s too easy to just say “you deserve this”.

Republicans are evil.

Poor people must learn how to become critical thinkers.

Many MAGA supporters prefer voting for a Strongman vs a biracial woman who wanted to preserve the democratic system.

Expand full comment

MAGA makes up only about 30% of the electorate. They were not Trump’s margin of victory. Trump won because with the media’s help he conned swing voters.—-Jason

Expand full comment

There's not one answer why he won. Many didn't want to support a woman.

Many didn't want a black women as President .

Many didn't want a biracial woman

Many didn't want a Democrat

The bottom line: this was NOT a free and fair election!!! Billionaires bought millions $$ worth of false propaganda to hoodwink enough voters to throw the election!! The voters didn’t have a chance!

You are very correct. The DNC failed again. They want to change the landscape with the most important high profile. It just doesn’t work that way. Many voters despise the chosen profile, as you stated. Hopeful, the DNC gets it together.

Look, Kamala did an excellent job.She only had 130 days to run her campaign. The opposition was running their campaign for 4 years. The popular vote margin was only tiny, over 130,000 votes. If she had 6 months to a year, to campaign, she could have successfully won the race. The most widely Google algorithm the day after the election was" How can I change my vote? MAGA voters definitely have voter's remorse especially with the new administration picks with unqualified people. The second most Search algorithm is What country can I move to.

You can't make this stuff up

More than “four years” in the big picture. Citizens United, Fairness Doctrine, SCOTUS bribing, gerrymandering, voter suppression. But, agreed not just one or two single reasons for the upset.

EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED! Not a free and fair election! It should be overturned! Trump and corrupt billionaires threw this election! He is a convicted felon who was NOT qualified to run for president in the first place! Corrupt Republicans deliberately FAILED to invoke the 14th Amendment in order to illegally seize power! Now: HOW do we correct this injustice without bloodshed? That is the challenge! We, the People REJECT this criminal plot to throw the 2024 election!

Misinformation, lies lack of accurate reporting, corporate media threw this nation under the bus..those that need a government to help them survive daily knowingly voted for a convicted felon to lead the nation and those very same people still do not realize what is going to happen..when they do they will probably be the loudest screamers and they will point fingers at Biden, the woke (whatever that means) and anyone or anything that is not MAGA..Trump will fuel these flames. Civic ignorance, lack of critical thinking and common sense will also fuel the flames of unrest, hatred, racism and bigotry. We are all tired and worn down by Trump the privileged the Oligarchs and the lies but we all need to stay engaged and wherever and whenever we can get the word out about the

criminal activity of elected officials etc

We all need to start sending messages to Congress that they need to refuse tax cuts and deregulations on all of the things promised his billionaire buddies. Trump and his oligarch bros are totally out of control. This has really gone to far. Country ran by a34 time convicted felon and his illegal side kick from South Africa. He can’t be sworn in on the 20th. He is disqualified.

Nasty, self-inflicted wounds hurt the worst because there is a lingering effect that will be compounded by every successive assault on their comfort and well-being. Trump voters will experience this over and over and over in the coming four years. I have zero sympathy and zero glucks to give to their pain.

Well, so far Trump has only had 2 attempts on his life. I would not want to be in his shoes if he authorizes this kind of a money grab for the benefit of his rich friends. Those who voted for him did so because they put Party over Country, and Trump put Trump over country. The fires of hell have just been lit. It's going to get hotter here. Thank God I'm nearing my end of days.
