DDHQ made the call after declaring Trump the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Alaska, which got him to exactly 270 electoral votes.

    As a non US citizen I’m genuinely curious: how could people vote for this convicted, deranged, senile, racist, homophobic grandpa? Like what arguments do they use?

      Inflation.

      But I think racism and homophobia as well as religion is another big reason. It just was articulated a lot less by people.

    I had so much hope for climate change and abortions rights and this burger man wins. Wtf is this state of world. The world will be on fire soon and the people can no longer do anything peaceful to stop it.

      It is important to escape our self-built echo chambers. Many independent journalists and commentators spoke of an increase in minority support for Trump and Harris not reaching the Biden numbers.

      We must focus on building up a grassroots movement that is for the working class and moving away from the duopoly.

      Stay hopeful!

        Young people too. Being an asshole is starting to get popular again. And a running narrative has been that Trump’s policies were good, people just don’t like him because he’s an asshole. And 18 year olds don’t even remember the “grab them by the pussy” tape or anything he did that first year because they were 10.
