Do you really think he won, though? There are reports of mass disenfranchisement, voter suppression, voting machine hacking, and dozens of Russian bomb threats. TRUMP DIDN'T WIN! ELON AND PUTIN DID!
It's important to recognize that eggs were the surface level rationale. They became symbolic. When you mention the eggs, it should be done almost mockingly, daring them to admit why they really voted for him.
If prices are skyrocketing and the economy is tanking, why do they still support him?
The avian flu, and this is more due to horrible farming practices in the USA than trump.
But yeah, MAGA/trump will never EVER take responsibility for anything negative (and will take credit for everything positive).
The entire story behind Trumism (and Nazism) is to blame the other, esp. the weaker
This is truth.
I've talked to 2 maga, 1 on Saturday, and they both said the same thing. No matter what trump does, they are with him.
So, not fixing the economy doesn't matter. Removing immigrants and getting rid of fictional waste in our government is what matters. Pretty sure it's just immigrants.
The sorry state of the American electorate includes the political memory of a goldfish. Those Democrat-leaning voters who chose to stay home on Election Day seem to have not remembered why they turned out in droves in 2020 to expel Trump from the presidency. His first term was a disaster.
I started researching Project 2025 last April. Don’t tell me that people weren’t warned about what was coming. People chose to ignore everything because they had their heads up their asses and belief every lie that came out of trumps pie hole. You get what you voted for.
Hate isn't what makes America great but it apparently drove a lot of people to vote for Trump.
So many people couldn't vote for a woman especially a half black and half Asian woman.
Misogyny won. Discrimination won. And we all lost.
Only stupid Democrats that didn't want to do their fucking job. The rest of us knew because we were here in 2016. Imagine That using your memory to make a decision today. To all of them that couldn't find their dicks with both hands go fuck yourselves
totally would be the truth, if the election had not been stolen by Musk. As it is, there is little basis, and growing contradictory evidence, for claims about what issues 'won' the election.
This is the disturbing truth, and trivializing it isn't helping. Hate and intolerance and a very successful indoctrination/radicalization campaign gave the election to Trump. It's almost as if the Democrats are afraid to admit to themselves what we're up against... because there's no plan.
I came up with a protocol for detecting a fix but the fact it even came close enough to fake made me think "what's the point". Things are gravely wrong all-round.
🥚 Before January 20th 2025 a lot of people discussed future, future of the war in Ukraine or the Democrats etc.
🐣 As for me, first we musk take care about ourselves, our food and health. Not global...
🍳 I tried to start the discussion of how to survive first, before we will become hungry.
‼️ Let us.
It's not like he won on his own merits though. He got about the same vote total as he did in 2020, he just won this time because the Democrats chained themselves to a sundowning anchor and refused to move even as it dragged them down into the depths
In the last century or so the incumbent always gets the nod for an 2nd term. Reagan almost broke that in '76 but lost to Ford by about 50 delegates, who in turn lost to Carter.
Biden should have been one term and stepped aside. A full primary cycle would have helped whatever candidate massively.
TBF to our daft voters, legacy media helped normalize the hate and stupidity --for tax cuts. Either that, or the so-called journalists at CNN, WAPO, NYT, etc. collectively lost the plot. Lack of media literacy also plays a big role.
Biden then Harris thought they would win on good governance and being good moral people ….trump won on knowing a large section of Americans are ignorant bigoted racists
Eggs, hate and starting an autocracy were every common topics in a huge number dems posts I saw over a long period, so I don't really see that hate and autocracy were somehow missed.
Elected Democrats and the DNC can't seem to understand this fact. Those of us living out here in America know these people, Maga. Some are in our own families. They are all about the vengeance and hate. They have to hate the "other" so they can blame others for everything
I saw a campaign ran on hate and power and revenge. I’m not at all surprised by trumps actions, I’m surprised so many support it while hiding behind egg prices and the border.
Yes, MAGAs voted for hate. But they did NOT vote for ending cancer research, closing the department of education, or firing veterans as MAGA representatives keep claiming.
They voted for hate and lower prices. They’re only being given one of those.
Yes. A lot of the sane-washing the media does on his behalf has the effect of "de Nazifying" him. E.g., turning his mass deportation scheme into a plan to lower housing prices and generally failing to take his racism at face value. So, the question is, why do they do it?
The post about the 'MAGA regrets' you see are all lies. They don't regret voting for nazis, they are just mad that they received collateral damage too. The majority of them are actually very happy about whats going on. Trump voters are irredeemable.
Some are irredeemable, but I've also seen people deconvert, both from Trumpism and from the alt-right.
These aren't antivax anecdotes, where observable reality tells us they're all full of shit. This is 40 years of GOP brainwashing increasingly colliding with reality in the minds of Trump voters.
If they realize they've been conned and start protesting and moving against Trump, that's more anti-Trump people and a better odds for beating Trump. I'm not going to cast that aside if doing so risks prolonging Trumpism.
I'll criticize ex-Trumpers for their moral failings after Trump is out.
Some "MAGA regrets" posts are lies. Some are not. Many MAGA will quietly leave it and you won't see their regrets online.
Don't ask me what the proportion is: I'm not an expert in relevant fields and can't read minds. The proof will be in their actions over the spring and summer as protests mount.
I still remember 45 saying that we didn’t have to vote and we would never have to vote again that Elmo was going to take care of it all. I still believe the election was stolen.🤬💙
No one can believe their are so many horrible people around . It feels like you spend most of the day trying to fight evil, it’s so draining and hard to except this is life .
NEVER FORGET 77 million DERANGED POORLY EDUCATED MISINFORMED BRAINWASHED EXTREMELY IGNORANT RACIST HOMOPHOBIC CHRISTIAN NOTZIS, & 67% of VETS VOTED FOR A CHILD πOLESTING ADJUDICATED €RAPIST TWICE IMPEACHED CON ARTIST CROOK & CRIMINAL WITH 34 FELONIES & SOLD NUCLEAR SECRETS TO SAUDIS FOR $2 BILLION 😡
I mean a lot of people said that in the surveys.
To not have to admit to the world or possibly even themselves that they wanted to hurt people and did not want a black lady as a POTUS.
America born of genocide, slavery,exploitation has always had a percentage of the population that were out right white supremacists, supported by closet racists. Fox & right wing media pushed non stop racists propaganda without pushback. Trump helped normalize and popularize hate. Sad it wasn’t hard
It's heartbreaking to see how many horrible people you live amongst. The human experiment is a joke and it's the worst goddamn species to have a Grace the planet
If it helps… 22.6% reportedly voted for him and 22% voted for a candidate who started their race with 3 months to go in the largest national election. 27% of eligible voters didn’t vote for anyone. Way less than a quarter of the country voted for this and they don’t know what is coming.
The American electorate deserves some explanation and recount of the last election before we start taking the blame for what happened in Nov' 24- The Russian bomb threats, burned ballot boxes, stolen ballot boxes, voter registrations overturned, Elon's vote tally program - none of that was normal
and that’s what America has been since inception…we want trauma for others more than we want good things for ourselves…after church services on Sunday they attend a lynching in the town square…
OFHS Musk and Putin handed tRump the election and they are counting on Dems et al to be too polite to complain.
#TrumpIsDestroyingAmerica #TrumpIsAConvictedFelon
He campaigned on a hate as an instinctual reaction to fear. This is at the core of what they do. They spread lies telling them that they are victims, and that's the reason for their troubles. Once fear is induced, they'll do anything to feel safe. Even vote against their own interests.
Tapping into fear was certainly part of their strategy. But it was still distressing that the day after the election, so many pro-Trump influencers went straight to misogyny and promoting violence against women.
So true, but many really are victims, but of GOP facist inspired propaganda. How do we reach them? Will they listen to us?
They will if many on the left show some empathy for those victims and stop using the same facist inspired propaganda techniques such as demonizing & humanizing Trump voters
Exactly. And there is an unwillingness to actually address this issue among many Dems. Very frustrating and shortsighted. I’ve been told that if you address the economic issues, the racism will be less of an issue. I can’t stand it
Yes, it’s hard to come to terms with the fact that slightly more than 1/3 of our citizens voted for hate, ignorance and racism. But dem leadership, and all of us need to deal with the facts on the ground, not what we wish was true or the recent past. Also, those who stayed home need to vote!
100% correct. Many people in my circle complaining about egg prices were taking several vacations per year. The sad truth is T***p voters mostly relish his hateful rhetoric and racist attitudes because this is how they really feel. T***p has simply made it acceptable to express it openly.
sorry, that’s a simplified story that doesn’t work for me.
trump planted hate, watered and fostered it, lined pockets of oligarchs and right wing whackos, promised big business rewards, all the while lying to vulnerable and uneducated people, and hateful people with their own agendas.
The only surprising part is how many people are surprised by this truth. Of course he won by running on hate. Until America’s hate problem goes away, our gov will always be vulnerable to exactly what’s happening now.
Both are true. Hate and abuse of power drives much of MAGA base. No doubt. There are others, likely a minority of Trump voters, who are suffering from inflation/cost of living. Dems didn’t effectively address this, bc it happened under Biden and they are responsible for the economy during his term.
The people that voted for him are hateful, immoral and uneducated. It wasn’t a message issue. The message was good. Their hate was just greater. Their regrets now are because they meant to hurt other people, but hurt themselves.
For this reason I get tired of "what the Democrats did wrong." They didn't do anything wrong. They offered hope and joy, and the electorate wanted hate and fear. That's it. That's what happened.
I hate the media for normalizing Trump. There should have been continuous messaging about him taking babies from their mothers, and disbanding the pandemic preparedness office. He’s evil and unfit.
They didn't run on hope and joy. They ran on, "Hey, at least we're not the other guys." Hope and joy would have been cutting off Israel's arms shipments.
Sorry, but you have to offer Americans more than hope and joy. If they had run on income inequality (instead of cozying up to Wall St.), they probably would have won. Dems tried to win votes from mythical demographics while shivving the Left and progressives — bad idea.
MSM was particularly adept at helping him pull off that sleight of hand. He should be thanking them as much John Roberts but knows people love a good wrassling match.
If this were true they wouldn't be complaining so much about losing their benefits or listening to @sanders.senate.gov. @atrupar.com's job is to cover for the party so you don't acknowledge that you in fact can't coddle billionaires AND win.
I’ve voted in every election since 1996, (the first year I was eligible.) It’s honestly shocking that people don’t vote. (But I’m also shocked by bigotry.)
It's also sad that all those people will be crowded into town halls to complain and blame democrats for everything, then they will vote for him next time.
lolz. His highest approval rating is actually second lowest for a President at this point in their term. Who has the first lowest? That would be Trump in his first term. Not exactly something to brag about
The republic we loved is dying. I hope we can break away some pieces (New England/New York, California, etc.) so that we have places in which the Constitution & the rule of law can continue.
I fear that, if we don't have a "velvet divorce," millions of us are going to die from "domestic violence."
I cant wait for this republic to crash are you kidding me? What was there to love about it. Its been one genocide after another while shitting on poor people in its own borders and demolishing our ecosystems for the sake of profit. Fuck all of that
I'm over 50. I was raised in the belief that the horrors of genocide, slavery, segregation, and oppression were in the past, and that we were working together to dismantle the withering remnants still in society.
We were on that path through the Obama presidency. This regression to our worst SUCKS.
Sadly, that’s not how it works. What we’ve already seen is that many white nationalists on govt assistance are fine with their govt assistance being cut if it means that “urban” [black] Americans won’t get govt assistance. This is the hard cold truth about the never-dying Confederacy in America.
The Union (real America) should have taken drastic actions after the Civil War, stripping all the slave-owning traitor families of their lands, titles, wealth, and privileges. Maybe even their lives.
The contemporary Confederacy (Trumpism) could have been nipped in the bud long ago.
If I’m remembering right— Lincoln attempted that with reconstruction. If Lincoln hadn’t been assassinated, Andrew Johnson wouldn’t have become president, and able to give it back to the planter class.
I’d like to read more about the Reconstruction era. Sam Seder has had a number of guests who are experts on that period of US history, so one of the easiest ways to find a good book on the topic is from this here list 😉 https://majorityreportradio.com/tag/reconstruction
Of course, it would have been better if Lincoln hadn’t picked Johnson in the first place 🤷🏻♀️ And Johnson’s damn need for the snobs to grovel destroyed some potential progress forward….
Yes. They liked the hate and now he’s turning his hate on everyone. The only way out IMO is to educate the red state voters on how Trump is hurting them. Make them put pressure on Congress. All of this distraction on the CR is a waste of time and energy.
Yes. It has taking me awhile to process why they voted for him. They don’t believe all his lies but they want to be like him by saying lies, racist comments, hateful things and not being held accountable.
This country was founded on discriminatory practices and beliefs and they continue to predominate and manifest themselves in new and novel ways today, such as in the form of choosing a known racist and misogynist to lead.
Racist hate is the reason for his win. Trump took the most primal of all human emotions - FEAR - and manipulated his uneducated base with hateful lies. Racist hate is driven by fear. Spending millions lying about Black immigrants eating cats sure scared the bejeezus out of those inbred buffoons.
As an outsider, this seems to me to be the truth. The attitude of so many of the American electorate is totally incomprehensible, but can, perhaps, at least in part, be attributed to the enormous cultural divide in your Country.
The truth hurts that there are so many morally bankrupt people that support this felon. They have totally succumbed to his evil, and he is supported by his evil ilk. How is good and decency supposed to prevail when outnumbered? AMERICA is fucking ugly now.
It is indeed the truth. Most simply cannot accept this reality. They made up the “price of eggs” excuse to absolve themselves of responsibility for their support of hatred and Fascism. The Midwest/South is unfortunately full of hatred. It always has been and it’s always used religion as its excuse…
The American electorate IS pathetic. But there are also posts saying that computer experts are saying the election was hacked. So while I'm appalled at the 36% (just saw that figure today) of Americans who identify as MAGA, I still don't think Trump 'won'.
Or cause elon owns the counting machines
But yeah if 80% of the population is on one side they wouldnt be able to do this
Usa is too much of a coinflip rn
I just watched Meet the Press and the poll numbers confirm this. Yes, the Felons poll numbers are bad but they aren’t as bad as they should be considering what is happening.
When are we going to face the truth that just like his bid in 2020 this too was fixed and pre determined regardless of how they say we voted. There is no way he won the way they claim. Stop giving in to that lie.
People really are easily indoctrinated by 24/7 propaganda. True in Nazi Germany and true in America today. Reich wing media has indoctrinated a huge swath of the population into believing total twaddle. Fascism 101: keep the population ignorant of the truth and redirect attention via scapegoating.
The Americans who bought into this movement (MAGA) feel that life has passed them by, they are uneducated with little means to support themselves, and they harbor resentment towards the world. The end game is not going to be very pleasant for anyone in the USA and/or the World.
I will never believe he “won.” He stole it, Dems lost it, Musk bought it are all truer statements than “he won.” He does absolutely nothing honestly so “winning” is not possible.
And he is far more likely to have stolen the election, rather than won it. All those years he shouted "Stop the steal" at a fair election was a confession that stealing was his plan from the outset. Not just to stay out of jail, but to believe he is worth the power he stole. He isn't. Never was.

2) "In four years, you don't have to vote again,"
Never mind my lifetime.
No president has said that while campaigning in anyones lifetime.
... and still we sit, waiting for #2.
That was only their cover for voting for Trump for the qualities that they secretly admire but are not willing to admit to publicly.
hating is exhausting maybe his cult followers will wake up
🐣 As for me, first we musk take care about ourselves, our food and health. Not global...

A picture says a thousand words.
Trump did not win the election.
Harris lost it because voters did not want 4 more years of Biden.
“No daylight, kid,” Biden said.
Mar. 17, 2025: $3.45/dozen
That's a decrease of $3.10/dozen (–47.3%).
Today, $6.40/doz large eggs in Walmart where I live. Higher in other chains.

a month or so ago, @gregsargent.bsky.social did a piece where he interviewed Hispanic Trump voters in Reading PA
and many said things like "he is a business guy, so I thought he could do a better job with the economy and help me"
They will if many on the left show some empathy for those victims and stop using the same facist inspired propaganda techniques such as demonizing & humanizing Trump voters
