Is that even possible?
I love how the Democrats try to grab this place of being high and mighty by claiming educated people voted for Kamala. To me that's just an indictment of the education system. They can't recognize that their candidate is dumb as a box of rocks and then try to claim a position of superiority because educated people voted for her. First of all, maybe your education sucks because you can't even figure out how to beat Trump, a guy who has all kinds of easy things to pick apart.

And frankly I think it's offensive this position they claim. My dad didn't do a day in college. He is smarter than dudes who want his job with multiple degrees. Me personally I'm a lawyer but I'm certainly not going to pretend like I'm somehow superior to those who didn't go to college because of it. The Democratic Party is so out of touch with people. They are the assholes that act like they are better than others because they have more money or more education.

I have lots of very well educated friends who are Democratic. I don't argue with them. But when they start trying to talk economics I roll my eyes. Even highly educated people have no clue about this stuff. They took one basic college econ class and think they know economics.

I honestly hope this result teaches some in the Democratic party to change. I don't want this far leaning left situation. I think it's bad for the country. But based on what I have seen since this election ended, they still have no clue.

I’m curious, is there things Trump could do that would leave you actually thinking his second term was a success?

Pure curiosity. You both have your reasons to dislike him, and that’s cool. I’m just wondering if there are a handful of things you’d like to see that could leave you actually looking back fondly on a second term.
It's pretty simple... but nearly impossible because he's such a toxic human being, is it too much to ask for him to act presidential and not like a wannabe mob boss?

If he would govern to help more than the people who voted for him that would go a long way. If he would demand loyalty to the country and the Constitution that would also change my mind.

Unfortunately, he values himself more than he values anything else in this world.

I think overall though, that "the people who care about him so much will end up realizing how little he cares about them". (stolen)

How did the military vote turn out? Did the majority vote against Trump as you predicted? Or was Schmitty right?

I haven't really engaged with a lot of my fellow vets in the last 24 hours to gauge how they actually voted, but the scant info that I've seen so far says he got about 60% of the veteran vote, so he was right.

I feel a little cheated that we were sold this as some sort of a tossup election. It was a slaughter.

I think in retrospect it was pretty obvious that it was going to be a comfortable win.

The betting markets, the polls that he always seems to outperform, the early voting numbers, the lack of endorsements from the Washington Post, USA today, and LA times, the assassination attempts, RFK campaigning for him, Twitter allowing free speech, the fact that Harris suddenly was in favor a lot of things Trump was already advocating, and the biggest "red" flag of all, the economy. Incumbents historically do very poorly when the economy is this bad.

That's not even counting how awful and uncharismatic she is, and how she got in the running without a single vote.

Most things pointed pretty strongly towards Trump. That's not even counting how badly Trump trounced his Republican competition in the primaries despite having some pretty strong candidates against him like Vivek and Disantis.

It's just that we never know what tricks the other side is up to so we get nervous. But I guess it truly was too big to rig this time.
