Summary

Donald Trump’s decisive victory in the 2024 election leaves no room for ambiguity or an “asterisk” in his legitimacy, as he won both the popular vote and the Electoral College.

This outcome represents a clear mandate from American voters, who knowingly chose Trump’s policies and approach.

The anticipated results include pardons for January 6 participants, attacks on the press, and an administration filled with controversial figures.

By voting for Trump, Americans prioritized divisive rhetoric over democratic values, accepting the resulting turmoil.

    I agree with you, but you should know that the media is already blaming “the small sliver of the Democratic Party who call themselves progressives.”

    Pundits are talking about how Democrats need to shift even further to the right next time. So that’s not going to be fixed any time soon unless voters show up to primaries in a way that can’t be ignored.

      The ones owned by billionaires who bought them to control a narrative?

      They’re always going to say the party has to move right. The entire reasons billions are buying them is to convince people both parties need to move right.

        Yes - the ones who tell the majority of the party what to think and do.
