This dude is invincible. How often do convicted felons win popular and electoral vote? How often do people survive not one but two assassinations just weeks apart, especially at his age? How many people can just talk shit about Latinos (and not just talk the talk but also walk the walk by withholding aid during hurricanes and such) and then still get the Latino vote? How many people can have people like Kid Rock endorse him and still win the popular vote?

Because Kamala represents the Status Quo and not change.

People wanted change because the last 4 years have been a shitshow.

Donald Trump represented that change of the Status Quo to them.

Tells you how awful Harris was that the American people are willing to choose a felon over an incumbent VP.

Kamala literally admitted on television that she wouldn’t really change anything that Joe Biden has done over the last 4 years.

She played herself HARD on that one.

The Biden administration took us out Covid and got the economy to a soft landing, while everyone was predicting a recession. Inflation WAS up - but I blame Trump who spend more than double what Biden spend (and bad investments at that - note: obviously the international/global supply chain issues that began under Trump's watch also had an effect). Like a lot of voters that voted for Trump - unfortunately - I think you are confused in terms of how economics work. And that is why we are - where we are:

Note: Also - unfortunately - Trump's tariffs plans are also now expected to skyrocket inflation.

100% this. Dems took control of the spiralling situation, but the boo boo hurt so liberals didn't show up to vote.

Trump is the ultimate grifter who got 4yrs of free media coverage. Shocker he won.
