The race is run, the winner declared!

For further discussion of the election:

USA - 2024 US Presidential Election: Trump vs Harris (pt II)

I will be keen to watch the handover on J6 I think, Will the Bidens attend unlike Trump? Will the crowd be the biggest in history, Will there be a magical Mystery victory tour and rallies like 2016, Will he reduce his golf games and stop heading North in the Summer or home to Fl in the winter...

Probably not gonna word this well, but here goes. Once he’s back in office, if and i say if, he comes out with solid evidence to disprove many of the theories etc about him, or can prove say a weaponisation of the FBI against him (things he has said), how many here will be willing to accept it given they ate up fake documents like the Steele dossier for example? Would some of the avid Trump haters be able to change views on some things?

Trump sells a good story, every now and then I have to catch myself when I think “maybe he’s talking the truth”

Trump has a real good shot at changing the 22nd ammendment of the constitution, which limits the presidential term to 2.
There are two ways of starting it
1) Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate
2) by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures
( all previous Amendments have been initiated by the congress)

Now that the republicans control the senate and the house, they only need to flip small portion of the democrats to initiate the process.


From there , long story short, a proposed amendment of the Constitution is sent to all 50 state legislatures. In order for it to pass, it has to be ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 of 50 States).

It is looking like Trump has claimed 30 out of the 50 states . It is not a stretch to believe that he will think he has the ability convince 8 other states to agree to an ammendment change.

I will not be surprised if his camp has already mapped it out.

15 senators, 100 congressmen, 8 extra states is never going to happen.

Nor does Trump want it - at 83 he will be grooming his successor.

 

[pjcrows]

Crying about the US people or how they voted is kind of yelling at a cloud scenario. She lost the unlosable...

Ridiculous. Trump was going to win 400+ EVs against Biden. She was competitive. Nowhere near good enough though.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Again, fantasy nonsense. Anybody spruiking this nonsense, get some help.

Get some help? Trump has already talked about doing it .

 

[Madas]

F(k !!!

4 more year’s listening to that Paprika faced muppet telling us how good he is

JFC AMERICA WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ?!

 

[Thrawn]

Who must shop in St. Helana or Greensborough

Why would I shop there when Eltham's shops are practically a stone's throw away?

Now Greensborough, I've seen the occasional beggar or two there.

 

[Osho]

But, but, but "Morning Joe" said he was as sharp as ever, and Karine Jean-Pierre said he rang circles around the cabinet.

Wall cabinets?

 

[leon123]

Yes, let's believe everything that's said on the internet.

Sure, homeless people exist in big cities and in many suburbs... but there are none hanging out in front of Eltham Woolies and Coles.

If you think that, good o, of course there is. Anyway, just disagree, yawn

 

[Blue1980]

Democrats don't have open conventions or any conventions anymore... And not not for a long time. Their candidates are selected.

Nobody voted for Harris, she was annointed.. twice.

I said this before the election and was called a doomer, I think the majority of the democratic party elected officials and corporate backers prefer a Trump presidency to a progressive like Bernie as president.

They spend their time trying to govern as far to the right as they can get away with, so we have this dance of a right wing party vs a much further right party every 2-4 years.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Every other social media platform bar Twitter has been on the Kamala express train

I mean Google wouldnt even let you find voting booths if you typed in Trumps name...

I'm talking about the user base, comments etc. Take youtube channels like the Young Turks, Majority report etc. Just pales in comparison to the views and engagemet the likes of Tim Pool, Patrick David, Rogan, Crowder etc get and the formers have been around twice as long. It's a space the left lost long ago save for maybe streamers like Destiny and Hasan

I think the point is that the conservatives have been a lot more smart and savy about spreading their message online. Hell, at Trump's victory speech tonight Dana White shouted out Adin Ross who had Trump on just weeks ago in the effort to get young male voters.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Absolutely. Dems would have shat it in with her. In fact in my opinion with any candidate of any sex, race or religion that had any ideas of their own. Dems are very slow to learn what the people are sick of and has cost them twice against Trump.

I do wonder what would happen if Candace Owens was the candidate for POTUS. Would that short-circuit the Left?

Doesn’t matter.

The line between fame & infamy was crossed 30 years ago.

Trump owns the news cycle.

Journos are too lazy to investigate.

They harvest clickbait.

This is the world now.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Ridiculous. Trump was going to win 400+ EVs against Biden. She was competitive. Nowhere near good enough though.

Being better then the worst thing imaginable isnt a victory in the end

Every single person, even Kamala Harris thus morning knows Dems should have held a primary.

If they did that Trump probably doesnt win. Luckily for Trump, alot of Democrats went in with the blind arrogance they had in 2016 and created the win for him.

As long as they all keep yelling at clouds, it will happen again in 2028 too

 

[BigTacoBandit]

Wait, so did the millions of illegals vote for Trump this time???

 

[Blue1980]

I wish I had your optimism

No it will still be terrible, you will probably have Vance running 2028 and with many of the guard rails we see even now protecting democracy, gone.

There is a movement which isn't just Trump now.

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

Like I've already posted, it was a massive swing from Latinos to Trump that won it for trump.
They obviously hate immigrants once they get their own citizenship.

 

[QuietB]

Please... relax. Everything the media has told you for 8 years is wrong. Trump is not a fascist. He is not a despot. He will not be extending his term or removing term limits. Relax.

Thankfully you are probably right.

But what trump 100% is though is a televangelist like grifter. And a convicted felon.

Trump will do **** all for anyone and will use the office of the President to enrich himself. Same as last time. US debt will sky rocket. Same as last time. Inequality will widen further. Same as last time. And Trump will golf ever other day. Same as last time.

I have no idea why people vote for him. I really don't. The idea that he will help working people is laughable.

 

[Gethelred]

It feels somewhat silly to say it, but the subject of homelessness at Eltham shops isn't really within the purview of this thread. If you truly feel it should be of global significance, feel free to start a thread on Int Pol about it, but don't be all that surprised when it gets moved to the Aust Pol forum.

Get some help? Trump has already talked about doing it .

It’s not gonna happen. While we’re on scary Democrat story hour, who do you think he’s gonna persecute and lock up first in his revenge tour? Kamala? Joe? Garland?

 

[carlton_99]

Wait, so did the millions of illegals vote for Trump this time???

He posted about fraud in Pennsylvania this morning that was being "investigated" and now he has suddenly gone quiet on that front. Funny that

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Was this election rigged? Or was it just the last one? Does the level of rigged-ness depend on how dissatisfied you are with the result?

 

[Aristotle Pickett the3rd]

No , the Latinos did

 

[leon123]

Donald trumps head looks like it has been dipped in a packet of cheese flavoured corn chips. There, you can do either

He will try it on.
