I'm not a Trump supporter but I understand why he won and Harris lost.
What you described is exactly what happens when "brain drain" occurs in authoritarian nations. The Soviet Union for example suffered heavily during the Cold War when many of their most educated professionals, scientists, and educators left and went to Europe and the US.Nobody is holding a gun making you stay so pack your bags and maybe you can catch a flight to Mexico with the illegal border crossers
So you're saying you wanted Harris in office she's so dumb all she knows how to do is laugh, and she thinks it's OK for women to continue committing murder of babies that will never have a chance at life! Let me ask you this what do you think GOD tells these murdered children. After you answer what would you tell the children if they could talk to you?lol. lmao.
Oh no, the Trumpsucking vermin what would respond to criticism of their bronzer daddy with personal attacks utilizing pejoratives spoon-fed to them, such as "TDS" and "NPC" (and the irony of the latter should be lost on no one), felt like they weren't welcome and noped out.
Start packing it's educated people like you that whine and whine.What you described is exactly what happens when "brain drain" occurs in authoritarian nations. The Soviet Union for example suffered heavily during the Cold War when many of their most educated professionals, scientists, and educators left and went to Europe and the US.
They did pack their bags and leave, and a couple decades later the USSR collapsed both economically and technologically. They no longer had anybody who knew how to do anything specialized.
Do you want that to happen to the US? I'm not sure how things are economically in Appalachia but I can afford to leave and I do have highly transferrable certifications. That could be one less good guy for America.
If the illegal border crossers are getting planes, the "wall" would seem superfluous...Nobody is holding a gun making you stay so pack your bags and maybe you can catch a flight to Mexico with the illegal border crossers
Heh.it's educated people like you
Oh, you're a pro-women-killer. That tracks.she thinks it's OK for women to continue committing murder of babies that will never have a chance at life
Probably the same thing he tells all the children he allows to die from preventable diseases and lunatics shooting up elementary schools: nothing.Let me ask you this what do you think GOD tells these murdered children.
Wait we the majority did keep the liar from getting elected. I for one am glad to see that Obama is completely out of our White HouseYea, I can still blame voters for electing the insane guy. Yes. Regardless of your criticism of the Democrats, the insane guy is insane.
At this point, whatever ignorance is getting taken advantage of is their own responsibility to clean up. It's not like the information isn't out there for them. I don't know what you want me to do about the bad guys other than vote against them. There were actions that could be taken, not anymore.
By lying to them and scaring them? Yea. The Democrats told the truth, but half the country has their fingers in their ears. I suppose you want them to lie and scare people? At some point, you really do become as bad as what you're trying to fight.
There was no "enough". Harris did basically everything right. It wasn't enough. At some point you have to stop pretending that the problem is with the people actually trying to do the right thing and realize that the the problem is with the people trying to do the wrong thing. The American people just didn't believe the threat. Now it's too late.
I don't know what you wanted them to do. What gamble didn't pay off? I just saw a group of people (formed from democrats and republicans) trying everything they could think of to stop the lying asshole from winning. Nothing worked because too many people are tuned out.
I'm getting pretty pissed at people blaming the folks working hard to do the right thing for the fact that scumbags are good at tricking idiots. You need to start pointing the finger where it belongs - on the bad actors.
There is no such thing as productivity anymore. Did you not notice? The autocrat and his cronies won.
Not all of the votes have been counted yet, so it will be closer (probably under 10M), but that doesn't change that take away. California is at 55%. There are 3 swing states currently where Harris received more votes than Biden in 2020 - Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina (barely).As @dylansan suggested, turnout was lower overall, with Trump getting 74m votes in 2020 compared to 72m in 2024, while Biden got 81M vs Harris's 67M, a spectacular underperformance by 14M votes, holy cow. Fourteen million people just...didn't. They either didn't like her or they didn't care anymore, because Trump's numbers didn't increase either. The map is going to be a complete reversal of the previous one with simlar margins in the opposite direction, while all other states are tigher wins for Harris or bigger losses.
Research suggests that individuals with a higher tolerance for ambiguity—who are comfortable with uncertain or complex situations—tend to lean toward more liberal political views. Liberals are often open to nuanced or abstract perspectives, supporting ideas that may not have clear-cut solutions.Oh. Why did they leave?
One of the two people that you replied to isn't American (hi, @Sprite), but I'm sure you knew that already.Nobody is holding a gun making you stay so pack your bags and maybe you can catch a flight to Mexico with the illegal border crossers
They're already writing articles on it.
Trump's win could lead companies to push up prices. Here's why.
President-elect Donald Trump's vow to raise tariffs could have Americans paying more for goods, from toys to auto parts, experts say.www.cbsnews.com
Honestly, if the people at the Wharton School would have a spine, they would have revoked Trump's degree as soon as he uttered the words that tariffs will be paid by foreign countries. Unless I win the jackpot, I will never have the funds to send any of my girls to an Ivy League school but if that's the level of knowledge their students come out with, I don't they're worth the price anywayOne thing that will be interesting to see play out is how Trump manages to carry out all of his contradictory proposals. Cut inflation while instituting sweeping Tariffs? Yeah, sure buddy. Reduce the deficit while massively slashing tax revenue? Boost the economy while deporting potentially millions of, you know, workers? Ok, right.
But he could also just do not a god damn thing and his supports would still love him and think everything is dramatically improving, so I'd guess he'll just be supremely lazy.
Trumponomics belongs in the same place as Trickle-Down-Economics, I agree.One thing that will be interesting to see play out is how Trump manages to carry out all of his contradictory proposals.

This may help...Anyone have a link to the updated vote totals?
Hey, its cool that the media waited until after the election to report about what implications Trumps tariffs could have. Not that it would have changed many (if any) minds but still. Would have just been nice if they did their job...They're already writing articles on it.
They reported that tons earlier. Nobody was listening. Harris explained it too, and it was in ads. Nobody was listening. That's the take-home from this entire election. Nobody was listening. Not just to Harris, to Trump as well. The people that listened to either of them voted for Harris or are out of their damned minds. The rest didn't listen.Hey, its cool that the media waited until after the election to report about what implications Trumps tariffs could have.

There's reports that may already be happening a much smaller, interstate scale as stories have been shared that doctors have left red communities b/c of their strict anti-abortion measures.What you described is exactly what happens when "brain drain" occurs in authoritarian nations. The Soviet Union for example suffered heavily during the Cold War when many of their most educated professionals, scientists, and educators left and went to Europe and the US.

Ah yes, because this is so much better.she thinks it's OK for women to continue committing murder of babies that will never have a chance at life!
From 2019 to 2022, the rate of maternal mortality cases in Texas rose by 56%, compared with just 11% nationwide during the same time period, according to an analysis by the Gender Equity Policy Institute. The nonprofit research group scoured publicly available reports from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and shared the analysis exclusively with NBC News.
Famine I'm not the one that combined my post! The wall will keep them from illegally entering without proper papers like it's supposed to be proper and simple! The only thing Obama's flunkies have done is raise the prices on everything and send our tax dollars for one murderer and one crazy guy to blow only to beg for more. How do you think your country will do when you have to start paying your share into NATO. I think all NATO members need to payback payments that Obama was too weak to enforceIf the illegal border crossers are getting planes, the "wall" would seem superfluous...
... and one of the people you're addressing is not even a US resident, given away not only by the flag under their name but the content of the message you quoted.
Heh.
Oh, you're a pro-women-killer. That tracks.
Probably the same thing he tells all the children he allows to die from preventable diseases and lunatics shooting up elementary schools: nothing.
Exactly. That’s why if he actually wants to keep inflation low, he won’t do what he said, which is more likely. He might also do it, but maybe delay it coming into effect until he leaves office, which will make him technically correct. However, since facts don’t matter anymore and are woke these days, that may not be even an issue.One thing that will be interesting to see play out is how Trump manages to carry out all of his contradictory proposals. Cut inflation while instituting sweeping Tariffs? Yeah, sure buddy. Reduce the deficit while massively slashing tax revenue?

Please understand that sending a message by electing the candidate that Nehantyu wanted all along was a very important step in sending him a message.I cannot get over the fact that people abstained or voted for Trump over Gaza. How are you feeling about sending a signal to the democrats?!? Even if they got the signal, it's irrelevant. You played yourself. Israel must be thrilled.
Must be a pretty tall wall to block a domestic flight.Famine I'm not the one that combined my post! The wall will keep them from illegally entering without proper papers like it's supposed to be proper and simple!
It will most likely be the other way around. Those who are contributing in a meaningful way are easier to track down, so they will be deported first.Maybe they'll use some common sense and only deport the illegals who aren't contributing in a meaningful way and give the ones who are a green card/ path to citizenship. 🤷♂️
Problem is most on this forum isn't liberals. They don't support freedom of speech, freedom of opinion and right to life. Some are openly racist, support terrorism and genocide and mods aren't doing anything about it.Liberals
This called protest. People should have right to protest. Absolutely the same process was supported by US government in Ukraine and Georgia, absolutely the same process was named coup by Russian federation. Only difference between two is lack of wide support from locals. Practice what you preach.So on January 6, 2021
Oh please, they all lie out their teeth.Nah they lost because they can't bring themselves to lie
All the people convicted have actual charges beyond protesting.This called protest. People should have right to protest.
People shouldn't be charged for simply being protestors, no matter what they protests against. Those who used excessive force or vandalized something should being charged for that, not for freaking seditious conspiracy.
The January 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol is but the most recent and visible example of the DT threat. The deluge of electronically stored information from the January 6 event, and the increasing number of cases and defendants, have demonstrated that the Department’s DT response capability requires additional resources to protect public safety.
You're talking out your arse yet again.Problem is most on this forum isn't liberals. They don't support freedom of speech, freedom of opinion and right to life. Some are openly racist, support terrorism and genocide and mods aren't doing anything about it.
Guess, you are liberal here 🤣You're talking out your arse yet again.
