US Presidential Election, Nov 5th 2024

People can have any opinion they want on Trump I get it. However the guy survived an assassination attempt and still carried on fighting for what he believes in.

Stupidity or not you cant fault that.
Huh?

How does survival of (actually two that we know about) assassination attempts make Trump either more or less qualified for President.

No. It's entirely orthogonal.
 
Laughable...

Elon Musk and Twitter.


There was also an "explosion" in trends that have existed before, "but not to this extent", Prof Lichtman said.

"Disinformation - you know, Elon Musk... has been the director of misinformation, two billion views of his spreading of disinformation, not just about the economy but about immigrants, about minorities. We've never seen disinformation at this scale," he said.
Seems clear to me that Musk is the Goebbels of MAGA. And he’s been very successful in his role.
What looks likely is that he will be the puppet master of the incoming administration. Trump is in awe of him because of his vast wealth and we all know that Trump can be bought by anyone willing to flash the cash.
Worrying times if Musk becomes the de facto president behind the scenes.

Where in my message does it state having an attempted assassination put on him makes him more qualified for presidency?

I simply stated regardless of people’s opinion on him, no one can simply fault his desire and commitment to his cause after what had happened with the will to carry on fighting for what he believes.

An awful lot of people in the world will be happy with his presidency.

Since his presidency ended, the middle east agreed which he worked hard to get to have been shattered, Russia has invaded Ukraine, N Korea is now fighting along side. Most of these issues , Trump had under control.

Mate, he had to carry on, otherwise he could well have ended up in jail

He assassinated an Iranian General and torpedoed the diplomatic efforts Obama had made with Iran and drove them into the arms of Russia. He put the US embassy in Jerusalem which emboldened Israel and pissed off hamas. Putin had planned to invade Ukraine earlier but covid stopped him, Trump would have given him all of Ukraine no questions asked. Living in fantasy land, had them under control, he helped lay the groundwork for what has happened since.
 
Heres a question,
Biden got 81 million votes in 2020, Trump 74.

Harris - 69 million votes 2024, Trump 74 again pretty much.

So Trump has performed pretty much the same, but for a democrat point of view where have 12 million votes gone? Thin air?

Amazing how all these academics can tell us now why what happened happened. But nobody could interpret the signs and see it before it happened.

I had asked for some introspection on here these last few weeks and there was none. Even now, there isn't much. If this is typical of democrat thinking, they will be out of power for a long while unless Trump tanks everything or the democrats find themselves a new Obama. A heterosexual one, obviously.

What a country.

Fuck me, I like a lot about the guardian and the level of journalism and research that goes into articles (non-opinion articles that is, some of the gonzo journalism stuff is cringe) is a level above most publications but this can't be true. I mean come on.

It's difficult to diagnose with any certainty what's going on in any country and what to expect. It's not a lab where you can change variables, observe outcomes, and then repeat the original experiment with new parameters. It's a guessing game.

I've maintained that income inequality explains most happenings, not only in the USA, but globally. It's an untestable hypothesis though - of course - and moves from the realm of science to that of (hopefully) informed speculation.
