    I don’t see it the way you just painted it.
    Many conservatives aren’t voting for government to care about them.
    They don’t want more govt regulations, no thanks to higher taxes, please no more wasteful DEI stuff.
    Some of traditional America is very cool.
    Many don’t want to flip our country on its head.
    Libbies want to call half the country all sorts of shitty names. The left is on the wrong track.

    I'm totally fine with that. I don't want DEI and woke stuff either. I agree with a lot of stuff on the right, just like I agree with some of the stuff on the left. I'm not all one or all the other. It's the extremes that are turning it into a cesspool. Neither side wants to talk to the other side or agree with them on anything. The other side is evil, we are right. The US is on the razor's edge of a Civil War. Has been for a decade now. I just hope these next 4 years are less of it, because everyone suffers when all it is is us vs them

    Okay, then what’s your beef.
    Trump is a poor spokesman. But he’s apparently pretty authentic.
    People must have seen thru the dishonesty from the camel.

    Agree on the economy. It would have been hard for any Democratic candidate to overcome and as it turned out, Harris had no chance. Disagree on the border. Yes, the problems do begin at the countries of origin but Americans are getting tired of taking care of everyone else’s problems. Trump will tighten the borders and at the same time, he will not be sending blank checks to those countries so many are fleeing.

    Finally, the bottom line is that last night showed this country is not ready to elect a far left liberal to be President. This was definitely a “lesser of two evils” election and while many on both sides don’t like Trump, they still were never going to vote for Harris.

    I'll admit I'm not right 100% of the time. I don't live in a binary world. And for the 8th fucking time I'm not a liberal. Thanks again for showing me how binary thinking works. Stop.

    If it walks like one, and it talks like one…doubt you’d be in here upset if Trump would have lost.

    Trump is authentic? We're talking about one of the greatest con men of all time. Did I say Harris isn't dishonest? Again with the binary thinking. Both can be right - they are both con artists. That's why they're politicians. But saying Trump is authentic or not a politician is maybe a sign you need to dig a bit deeper on your orange messiah

    Harris hasn't been the president before, I wouldn't have known what to expect. I've seen 4 years of Trump and all the division and hate. Why America wants that again is very surprising to me.

    I am surprised as well.
    Let’s see what happens.
    Markets opened up in a really good mood.
    I think some of the hate is on Trump.
    I think quite a bit of hate is on the mainstream media and the dems.
    It takes two to tango.

    What do you think Trump will do to combat woke culture and overseas wars?

    So 70% of trump voters are far right. Got it LOL. Like I said, you seem a little unhinged this morning. I voted for neither of these 2 idiots but I'm not posting non-stop about the election like you've been.

    Yes at least the markets are up and crypto as well. I'm a white hetero male finance guy. In principle I should be happy. Hate comes from all angles, MSM or not. Let's see. It does take two to tango I agree.

    No, 70% of Republicans thought Biden's election was illegitimate and claimed that it was rigged. Stop extrapolating what I'm saying into a whole new topic. Seriously, try actually reading or don't bother replying. Not nearly as unhinged as his supporters on Jan 6. Or were you off-planet for that little show.

    70% of his supporters complained nonstop for 4 years because they thought Trump won. Trump himself complained nonstop for 4 years that he won. Trump himself never actually accepted that he lost.

    what political purposes are those? to alienate middle america? to alienate all the latins here legally that can vote? to overburden cities already stretched with homelessness?

    exactly which political reasons did they allow that mass of desperate humanity to seek shelter and join our workforce?

    Apple got an “exemption” from the Trump tariffs even for the stuff sourced from China. Can’t find anything that says otherwise. I’m sure plenty of “exemptions” will be for sale from a corrupt admin, if you have the $$$ to pay the bribe.

    Apple may have some levers to pull as they were already diversifying their supply chain anyway. But their “diversified” supply chain is, what, Vietnam and India? There’s still risk if it turns into a trade war scenario or true protectionism (no exemptions).

    sad because we have so much better leaders and so much more to offer.
