Since I'm from the cesspit of degeneracy that is the South, my entire family is nothing but Trump voters. Every single one of them.

The only reason I'm even willing to keep visiting them is so that I can see my niece, who will hopefully grow up to be better than they are.

GA called for Trump, and he has decent leads in all others. I'd say it's all over bar the shouting.

Not sure if it will matter going forward, but holy poo poo do the Dems need to work on their messaging. They lost to a campaign whose final message was “we’re going after our enemies, we’ll crash the economy, gently caress your teeth up, and oh yeah, trans people exist.” That was their messaging over the final weeks. That’s it.

Half the country gets its info from sources like Fox who will openly lie about everything the Dems do. I don't think better messaging will help much.

Americans, especially the uneducated white ones, wanted fascism. They got what they wanted, and Democrats weren't offering it.

If white Americans were less evil, we wouldn't be in this situation.

Apparently, that is the messaging a lot of America wants. Also, don't be a woman, I guess.

Other than Gaza, which has extremely isolated (but potentially disproportionate) impact, I honestly don't know what they could have done better when even the mainstream media, to say nothing of openly fash media, has been spinning tales of economic woe and downplaying Trump's overt fascism.

quote:

The campaigns didn’t matter - Kamala’s incredibly tight ship and the Trump/Vance clusterfuck - because the media presented fictional version of the candidates to the public.

You can’t campaign your way out of the incredible level of spin that we’ve seen this cycle.

US political journalism is dead.

There are no more grown-ups in the room and there's nothing to restrain the nutjobs Trump appoints from heinous crimes. He doesn't need to pay them any attention at all for them to cause untold suffering and damage to our institutions.

Honestly I think a lot of this is just Trump. The Republicans ate poo poo in both the last two midterms when he wasn't on the ticket. He activates people who would never vote for anyone else. The only bright side of his success is that when he's finally gone there's (I hope) going to be a gaping hole in the GOP.

Whether we make it that far, gently caress knows. I sure don't.
