That's an obscene generalisation. 47% of white women voted Trump. Only 8% of black women voted for him.

I just don't get these mealy-mouthed posts. Let me fix that for you, "who hasn't realised yet that the 3 branches of US government are corrupted beyomd peaceful repair and that the USA will never recover?" Your only hope is benevolent army take over at this point.

Do you realised that International poll observers were dismissed ahead of your midterms? There will be ICE pulling POC out of poll queues and preventing their votes. There will be endless fake accusations, but real court battles for every seat, Johnson won't swear anyone in... USA is totally fucked

There won't be any mid-terms and if there are, Republicans will still vote Trump and if a Democrat or independent wins it will go to court and the results will be delayed and delayed and if the courts give the result, the Mike Johnson won't swear them in. He'll put the house on holiday for 2 years.

Funny how the UK has had higher economic growth than all of the big EU economies, in the latest figures, beating Germany, France and Italy. That is true for cumulative ecomonic growth, since Brexit, too. 🤔

It's actually 45% of the women and 55% of the men, 2024 election figures. Still shocking though.

The political spectum has more than one dimension. Almost all political historians place the NAZIs as slightly right but extremely authoritarian. Thatcher and Regan were more right wing, for example, but far less authoritarian.

Why would they be decoys this time and not every time? The truth is that Russia does have hangers to put them in, not in this image nor in any other photo of their airfields. They were real aircraft.

They do in Scotland. Very hard. It is absolutely the only reason the UK still puts clocks back in autumn, so the Scottish school children aren't killed in the dark on the roads in winter.

Record low, for 2025, which was statistically, within the margin of error, the same as 2024. This is Biden's sucess.

Trump and Republicans are terrified of policies that curb their own wealth and power, and the wealth and power of the oligarchs that bankroll them. That's why they're amping up the fearmongering about "socialism."

I hear your words and the truth in them. I sense the pain behind them, a pain I do not know myself and that I can only imagine. I do not know how you find the strength to carry on in the face of brutality and injustice. You are amazing.

I mean, he thought an adjudicated rapist who boasts about sexual assult, "grab em by the pussy" and watching children naked, "I owned the pageant...", plus all the stuff you said, would release the Epstein files.

Obligatory fuck Amnesty International. When Russia was invading Ukraine, these absolute charlatans wrote that Ukraine were commiting war crimes by puttung defence forces in their own cities.

"If there are any moral cowards left in the hall, please leave now" I think? It was a very ironic statement, because it can be interpreted as those that already left are the morally brave and he addressing the moral cowards to also leave. But he was very rattled, I agree.

Nothing has happened to the USA that wasn't always there. Trump is just the manifeststion of the racism, hatred, greed, bigotry, misogyny, environmental destruction, "religion vs science", obessive gun ownership, and corruption in politics. All those bad things existed in spades for 250 years.

Ah, I thought your comment might be tongue-in-cheek. Fair enough.

Well, I think you were just having fun with a thought, so it's neither good or bad, just for fun. But it is bad for clarity of the debate to use logical fallacy if you are arguing for or against the OP.

So left-wing news fact checks and right-wing news lies? Got it. Using "left-wing" as an adjective needs a hyper. "Bluesky" one word, proper noun, so capital 1st letter. "It's" with an apostropy for "it is"; you have used the posessive form "its". Finally "there are not many" pural verb form needed.

No, not in the sense you probably mean, and the exit polls showed the result was correct. However, Musk threw a ton of money at it - which is why he says he won the election for Trump - and the usual Republican gerrymandering helped. The main reason he won was Indendents didn't bother to vote.

Exactly. Need people to understand they are not supporting "their team". They are supporting the oligarch owners and overpaid players, who wouldn't give a damn about their supporters in return.

Well, over on Reddit r/conservative, they are not happy with him over this. MAGA see this as nothing new, or that it was achievable without all the threats, or even as a worthless distraction. Not seeing much favourable comments. Boosting about this will harm him.

Absolutely. The whole world knew back then. I was a teenage Brit in the '80s and I knew he was a cunt. I knew he was linked to the mafia, I knew he was a sexual predator, I knew he never paid his bills.There was no internet, but it was in printed press, TV news, interviews and documentaries.
