Summary
Donald Trump has won the 2024 U.S. presidential election, marking a historic comeback as the first convicted criminal and the oldest person elected to the office.
His victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, who aimed to make history as the first female Black and South Asian American president, shocked observers and demonstrated enduring support for his populist, nativist platform.
Despite criminal convictions and ongoing controversies, Trump’s base remained loyal, propelling him past 270 electoral votes with a decisive win in Wisconsin.
His win raises concerns about future U.S. domestic and foreign policies, as he promises sweeping immigration crackdowns, “retribution” against political enemies, and domestic military deployments.
You think he’ll finally shut up about the 2020 election being rigged? Is anyone that voted for him finally going to realize he’s been lying the whole time about it?
What the fuck is wrong with this country. After his first term, after watching this shambling fucking skeleton of hate and vitriol decompose in front of us for the next four years. What the fuck is wrong with this country
Misogynists and racists either didn’t vote or voted for the white man, even if they didn’t like him.
Voters wanted a candidate on the left, as usual. They weren’t given an option, so they didn’t vote. Same thing happens with Clinton. It isn’t rocket science.
Fucking stupid disinformation posts like this one across all platforms. When people don’t vote, their voices aren’t heard and this is what you get. If the Democrats had actually won across the board, it would have been the perfect time to force a shift left from within the party.
Fucking morons in this country.
If the left want someone to represent them they need to actually show up and vote. Politicians keep tacking right because those are the people who vote and may switch sides.
Around 52% of the eligible voting age population voted. And over 15 million less people voted this election cycle compared to last.
This is what people chose this election cycle and they will reap what they sow
Such an indictment of the U.S. educational system.

“We will drain the government education swamp and stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth with all sorts of things that you don’t want to have our youth hearing,” Trump said.

At least next time you hear a kid saying they want to be president you can say: “Sure kiddo. Literally anyone can!”
