    How can I take you seriously? You claimed Harris was going to win because of abortion and you were a real prick about it. Then you claimed Harris would win because of Bad Bunny and you were a real prick about it.

    It turns out pretty piss poor for you doesnt it.

    What kind of analysis is that?

    As I said, the election result was set weeks ahead of MSG.

    Piss poor analysis.

    Exactly how did he deliver ?

    The "Wall", the promise of tax cuts for the middle class, the promise of a new affordable health care plan, better trade deals. None of this happened. Then Covid hit and he mismanaged that on an epic scale. When he lost the election he promoted anarchy and the end of democracy. I could go on but seriously the onus is on you to back up your claim that he "delivered". Otherwise it's just an empty slogan or mantra which is a lot of what Trump does.

    Your perceptions of reality and everyone else's are obviously different. The amount of propaganda you consumed and believed in 2024 is astounding. At some point dont you step back and realize you have been fed a steaming pile of bullshit.

    I thought Harris would/should push past the threshold in the swing states. Being a Gen Xer outside the U.S., maybe I’m a bit too idealistic about seeing the 'baddies' lose.

    The Trump illusion of competency continues... I've seen it in developing countries often enough, but I overlooked it here.

    Paradoxically, people who seem domineering or controlling in their personal lives can actually be more inclined to give up autonomy politically. Their preference for structure and authority drives them to seek leaders who embody those qualities, essentially outsourcing decision making to someone they perceive as stronger or more capable.

    This dynamic often reflects a desire for predictability and reduced responsibility on a broader level. By aligning with a ‘big boss’ figure, they feel protected from the complexity of societal choices, allowing them to focus on maintaining control in their immediate environment where they feel more confident.

    I don't deal with propaganda. You really don't seem to understand how this plays in Canada we are a lot saner then you Americans are about politics. You just seem to be deflecting from very specific questions; Trump does that as well.
