What comes next after the Trump win?

Not a word about reconciliation from him - all he knows how to do is to divide people and feed off the division.

House appears to be heading to be remaining in GOP control. CA has a considerable number of ballots to go through, but other places, the GOP is flipping seats. They knew where to hit the Democrats. How can one of the dumbest fuckers to ever be President, have such an incredibly adept machine behind him. Or are they just getting lucky with male angst? Hitting too many bulleyes to consider it luck. Which then makes me wonder, how did the Dems pull off 2022?

With the tri-fecta and fewer adults left in the GOP, they are a filibuster eraser away from passing whatever the fuck they want.

We still do not know if the Republican's have the house yet but if it ends up red, they have won about as hard as you can win. So there should be no excuses whatsoever for the border now if it under their complete control.

This thread has devolved into so much conspiracy level cope and dystopia Kim jong-un level nonsense. The polling cross tabs were predictive about atheists. I still don't understand the strong correlation- other than many atheists found a new type of group think around a progressive agenda.

Just posting here to date the crazy predictions for next November, when none of it proves true... but perhaps some can say to wait another year...then another... I'll wait.

Right. He found out with Birthergate that spewing ridiculous lies had no downside for him. He found out when he called immigrants "Drug dealers and rapists with, I assume, some very fine people" that there was no downside -- they'll even make ya President! Now, of course, this is his cruising speed. Scream "They're eating the cats and dogs!" and those who love you will think it's the media that's crazy for asking you to prove what you say. He's picked out an enemies list, the groups who are taking all the FEMA cash, the groups who are doing gender surgeries on school kids, the groups who will walk right into your kitchen and stab you, the groups who are taking the Black Jobs, etc., etc. He has tapped into a mean streak in his base, a desire to belittle, harm, banish, nullify some marginalized groups so that -- somehow -- all our problems will vanish.

Eta: you'd think that a hush money NDA would not be suggested as a legal campaign expense. I'd think the exact opposite. I'm sure had he charged his campaign, they would have also brought charges of fraud. It was a no win. He defilitely should not have cheated but most presidents aren't known for fidelity. It isnt a crime.

If he had paid for it out of his own pocket there would not have been an issue. But Trump always wants others to pay his bills. For god's sake, he used charity money to pay for his kid's five dollar Boy Scout membership.

They had complete control 4 years ago!

Trump comes up for sentencing on 11/22. How will his win effect that?
