Pro-Trump lobbyist & political commentator David Urban ~
“Democracy is a luxury when you can’t pay your bills.”
...
Democracy as a luxury. Democracy in good times only. Democracy when it suits you.
When we talk about democracy as a luxury that means everything that comes with democracy: free and fair elections, majority rule, and the rule of law.
And so America’s experiment in autocracy begins …

I have to admit I didn't expect anything like this... knowing what we all know about trump.
"This wasn’t about anything the Democrats did or didn’t do. This was comprehensive and across the board. The country decided it wanted Donald Trump, period. The majority approves of him and his plans and they want more of it, even in the big blue states like California and New York."

The biggest surprise? Hispanics and white women.
They voted for him more than 2020.
What the actual fuck?
They wanted a convicted criminal and rapist over a lawyer and VP?

It is hypocritically amusing that the GOP, who always complain that government does not work (and then proceed to break it) are so blithely convinced that the government can tell the difference between a legal and illegal immigrant, when their own databases are not even accurate.
Expect nothing but trouble.

There are 2 things a can't wrap my brain around.
14 million fewer votes than 2020.
44% of the votes for Trump came from women.

America’s gone mad: disbelief in Ayrshire, Scotland, near Trump’s golf course
While some say Trump has done much for Turnberry’s economy, others claim election result is ‘a disaster – he’s a fascist’
“I think America’s gone mad,” he says. “How can you elect a criminal as president?”
Disbelief is his overriding emotion as the reality of a second Trump presidency sinks in. “I don’t get it. Perhaps people were afraid to elect a black woman?”
