Quote from: Milltown Row2 on March 11, 2025, 11:10:50 AM77 million chumps voted for Trump, tells you all ya need to know

When the alternative was even worse it's a very sad situation

Yeah, between 150 million people the best you can come up with is Trump! You'd think with that many people they could get someone that's decent. But hey, Trump has the cards ;D
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Quote from: Rossfan on March 11, 2025, 10:32:43 AMA yoke like Trump wouldn't be voted onto a Residents Association in Ireland or most of Europe (excl Hungary and possibly Slovakia).
Europeans are mainly grown-up adults with developed front lobes.

Yanks on the other hand..   


Lol- and you end up with a clown like Varadkar who got elected Taoiseach having received a grand total of 8000 FPV in 2020

Great system alright
While I didn't love Varadkar, I think your clutching at straws there trying to compare him to Trump. The voting system is the voting system. Trump is a scourge on this planet.

I'm not clutching at anything

As much as people in Ireland hate Trump-the reality is that 77,000,000 people (who live here) went into a polling booth and actually voted for him

They had a binary choice-Trump or Harris-and 77,000,000 of them choose Trump
We know this. That's what us Irish people find so completely crazy. It's a mess of a country at the minute.

The point I'm making (which most of you are missing) is that's it's nowhere near as crazy as you all think when the alternative is even worse

Stephen A Smith on Bill Maher said that the Democrats are so extreme they actually make Trump look normal
But most of us don't agree the alternative is worse. Which is the point we're making.
Grammar: the difference between knowing your shit

The alternative is not worse. Seems to be a viewpoint that because the alternative is more "woke" they are worse. How could you be worse than this guy - look at the carnage he is causing and he has significant amounts of his tenure to go.

Exactly-but you don't live here.

Your agreement or disagreement with what I'm saying is based on what you read/hear/see in the media.

The 77,000,000 who voted for Trump do live here and have first hand experience of what the Democrats have done to the country

In your opinion it's not worse, but that's not the opinion of the 77,000,000 who voted for Trump

For 77 Million people who live here who have had it with the Democrats Trump was a better option

Stephen A Smith (look him up if you don't know who he is) said that the Democrats outrageous behavior make Trump look normal

Here's a clip from him speaking just last week

Jesus Christ, when you're using Stephen A Smith as a reference for anything you've lost all credibility. The guy is an absolute numpty. Like a dafter version of Eamon Dunphy.

Well I live in  the Usa, This day and age you do not have to live in a country to know what is going on there, Of late  I know everything going on back home , when I came here 30 years ago it was totally different. The internet changed every thing , I think a lot  who voted for Trump regret their Vote already, The ""Tariffs"" are a disaster , Elon is not helping either, And as For Ukraine  ???

So why do you think 77,000,000 people voted for Trump?

How did he win every single swing state?

How did his share of the vote improve among almost every single demographic in the country?

Why did 89% of counties shift towards the Republicans?

Why did Republicans capture the House and the Senate along with the White House?

If you live here and don't think there is a serious problem with the Democratic brand, then I don't know what to tell you.

People saw their standard of living going to shít. Harris was part of the government that made it so as far as they were concerned.

Media blamed it on the immigrants and the new guy offered these same people the sun and the stars, the second coming of Jesus, aided and abetted by the billionaire social media guys who were feeding this narrative knowing they'd have their snouts in the trough once their man got into power.

It's a story as old as time.

Were they dump? Maybe, but the Democrats didn't do enough for these people to make them stick with them.

Ah...so they got hoodwinked

That's as good an explanation as I've heard

Now what are the Democrats going to do to unhudwink the voters?

Whitey I asked earlier but I'll ask again, what has Trump done in either term that will make American great again? And don't give me the Dem's were shite, I get that, I also get the 77 million dafties voted.

Stick to the question
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Well ffs  75 million voted for Harris , it only takes a small swing to change the outcome, for starters  The dems had a poor candidate, ran a poor campaign , Joe Biden should have being challenged , should  have had a proper primary . The perception was of high Inflation which there was, but largely due to covid, Bidden did a poor job on the Border, Their messaging was poor and  Also  they became for use of a better better word "" Too Woke"",

And for your information there is no ""IF "" I have lived here in Texas since  1994, but everyone back home has the same access to information that you and I have via the internet so refrain from that argument

Stick to the question

I meant to respond but got sidetracked

He sealed the border

He cut taxes

He cut regulations that were onerous to business

He declared "war on woke"-you can't open your mouth over here without a mob attacking you

And that's just for a start
