This is a good take:

You conspired to block Bernie.

You discarded and defamed @TulsiGabbard

You didn’t invite @elonmusk
to a summit on electric vehicles?

You blocked @RobertKennedyJr
and others from having any path to make their cause in a primary.

You embraced wokeism and identity politics, demonizing the evil, white cisgender male population, extra scorn for those who have attained financial wealth.

You further insult them by telling them that they didn’t vote for Kamala because they are racist and mysogonist.

You then anointed the most unpopular VP of all time and tried to gaslight us into thinking she is the next coming because Meg Stallion shook her ass on stage to get the vote out because…. “Joy”

What exactly did you expect would happen?

These are your sins. Will you learn from them? Or continue to repeat them?

America has spoken, and they are not buying what the @DNC
is selling.

Wake up call.

Incumbents all around the world are losing (yet this election was much closer than other abroad). Harris was tied to the administration and viewed as a vote for the current conditions, which people found unacceptable.

Another reason Trump won is pretty simple: People are dumb. Look at the aggressive ignorance that thrives on this 4chan knockoff board. Natural human stupidity is why people voted for Bush in 2004 despite the disastrous invasion of Iraq. More than a third of Americans believe in ghosts. Three-quarters believe in angels. Tens of millions have bought into a cult of personality around Trump. It's not like this can or will last. In the early 00s, when GOP registration exceeded Democrats' for the first time, people talked about how the Democratic Party was done. Who could've imagined that just four years later an anti-Iraq War Black guy with the middle name "Hussein" would be elected?

This "America has spoken" stuff is so transparently dumb. It's perfect for dumb people.
