The Next President is...

[HeloDude]

So will progressive states like Maryland give their electoral votes to Trump, since the EC is racist/undemocratic and also since he won the popular vote?

I found this chart pretty interesting:

Basically, Trump did a better job getting people to vote than Kamala did. The Republican's didn't win the election, the Democrats lost it. My guess: because they ran a person people didn't like.

Even Bernie agrees with me:

Trump appointing the first female CoS in history - fucking sexist Hitler.

She was leading Trump's campaign and he won.  He's just picking a winner.  Let's see if she lasts a year.  Lots of bootlickers out there that want a piece and she'll be sniping their asses left and right.  If one sneaks in....

You missed the point. Not that I’m surprised.

Your username name really fits right now, just in case you weren’t tracking.

It would take every Ranger in the 75th to get through this fucking fat body. I'm clearly not an elite and had to do some googling to figure out this guy comes from one of the Top 10 richest families in the US. One RCH deeper reveals their wealth was built through development and expansion of the Hyatt hotel chain. Wasn't a fan of the chain before, but I'll be sure to avoid the abortion riddled, alphabet soup stuffed, snowflake draped cesspool further.

Pritzger,

another Democrat out there trying to console and comfort all the Democrat snowflakes who are sooooooo scared of what’s coming! Why do democrats revel in their fear and weakness. Here’s a grown man telling other grown men and women to grab their safety animal (stuffed toy) and run to a safe place. How did the democrat party go from a working class, blue collar party, populated by the same men who stormed the beaches of Normandy and Iowa Jima, into a party of soy boys, effeminate Beta’s, and weak, hysterical women, who aren’t t even embarrassed about crying over an election. Look at Jimmy Kimmel. So weak, so scared, so BETA, AND THEY ARE PROUD OF IT!  This is why they lost the Black Male and Hispanic votes. WHO wants to be associated with such pathetic whiners?

Democrats gonna cry about this one, I can already hear the screeching now.
 

But If he can just manage to impose term limits on congress that would be one of the greatest achievements of any president ever.

That would rock DC to the foundations (or muck where foundations should be).  That would be amazing and so beneficial to our country if people actually SERVED for two terms rather than making a career and enormous personal wealth out of being an elected official.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

Two would be crazy. Every member of the House of Representatives would be a slave to their staff in a way much worse than the president currently is to the bureaucracy. 

 

I say 3 terms for senators and 6 for representatives, and that applies to all districts. No switching counties or states for another 6/3 terms. You need a few years to become an expert in any job. But the incidence of corruption is much higher in the 20+ year offices. Also, it greatly reduces the number of geriatric congressmen, since so many are age-in-place barnacles. 

 

A particularly savvy politician could then only serve 46 years of elected office if they successfully win every election as a representative, senator, vice president, and president. Numerically that will be impossible for more than 4 people per generation. If you can pull that off, bravo. The rest will be limited to <20 years

Poster write,

“ With the George Floyd riots and covid bringing out tonsof low propensity voters and TDS at its peak”

 

  That’s kind of my point, were George Floyd BLM rioters and anarchists really that much more motivated to vote, and how many Rioters were there really? Add to this the absolute Hysteria that gripped the largely Democrat ranks, I find it incredulous that Covid, mail in ballots, or motivation to leave a safe home and vote during a pandemic that still scares most democrats today, would account for 20 MILLION EXTRA VOTES. A FEW MILLION, MAYBE BUT NOT 20,000,000. I’d love for some whistleblower to surface.

I absolutely think the conditions at the time could have drawn tens of millions of extra voters to the polls.

-Covid was the first thing for a lot of people where government policy directly impacted them.

-how many rioters were there? Idk like tens to hundreds of thousands in every major US city.. seemed like a lot of people to me when it was happening

Trump jumped 11-12 million votes from 2016 to 2020 which was a huge anomaly as well. I’d be a lot more suspicious if one side had insane turnout while the other remained basically the same. But both parties had a massive jump in 2020 which tells me something really big in the zeitgeist was happening at the time.  
 

… Or somebody faked 1/6th of all of the votes to the tune of 30 million ballots, did it for both sides for some reason, and we still don’t have a single shred of evidence of the largest voter fraud conspiracy in American history.

I’ve actually been pleasantly surprised with how the dems have taken this absolute ass whooping. Lots of hysterics online and on the talk shows, but the people that mattered respected the process, conceded in a timely fashion, and honestly did a lot to de-escalate and re-instill trust in our election process right now. Honestly I’m really thankful for this outcome because I’m positive a trump loss would not have garnered the same reaction from republicans, and it would have gotten very bad.  

The left has shown a shocking amount of maturity and done something I think most of the maga crowd is incapable of right now: accepting election results that didn’t go their way.

Having said that.. I’m fully prepared to be proven wrong by the dems as soon as they regroup enough to concoct the next grand conspiracy about the right, probably involving them all somehow being nazis.

I think it has more to do with Dems stepped on their dick big time and know it.  Shoving a candidate down people's throat hasn't worked yet, but they keep doing it.

Thanks Ace.  Be sure to team with Gary for next personal attack versus trying to score points on intellect and clever thoughts.  The Dynamic Duo strikes again.

I agree and some credit is to be given.  However, that credit is somewhat decreased by two factors:

1 - It wasn't close.  He got 42 more electoral votes than necessary and won every single swing state.  A Republican President hasn't gotten that many electoral votes since Bush/Dukakis.  Had it been close and taken 3-4 days to count the rest of the votes (still counting AZ?  WTF?), they might be singing a different tune.

2 - After all the criticism of Trump not accepting 2020, even the mainstream media would point out the utter hypocrisy.

It wasn't just the candidate, it was the policies, Joe would have lost this election as well. 

The open border, paying for transition surgery for illegals and prison inmates, wokeism, green new deal, govt spending, lawfare, openly supporting suppression of Constitutional rights like free speech.  Don't get me wrong, unrestrained conservative policies can be just as bad, but after four years of the DNC running amok, the people were so soured that they overlooked the abortion issue and reelected the Orange Man.

Maturity?  They spent the last several months to years saying Trump is literally Hitler…that doesn’t sound very mature to me. You even mention how you think the left might/probably will call the right “Nazis”…but where have you been?  They’ve already been doing it.
