Current Affairs 2024 POTUS race

I was hoping that was the end of seeing that orange clown, how so many vote for such a vile human being is staggering

The Republicans have full control of the senate as well. All the middle fingers in the world won't change that.

Being a bit harsh on @davek there

Quoted from the BBC:

This is a man who is 78 years old, facing four criminal cases (one he has been convicted in and is due to be sentenced in three weeks time), a whole bunch of civil cases, insulted a whole string of demographics and countless scandals over the last eight years.

And they're voting for him in their droves. Sorry America, you're the pits.

 

[FrenchDarrenBent]

America as a whole has shown itself, once again, to be full of zealots and bellends.

Brexit never looked so stupid. Europe will need to grow as an independent force and the uk stands alone

Large swathes of Ukraine will be left to be annexed by Russia pretty darn quickly because of Trump's love for Putin. It'll set a dangerous precedent.

Putin and Netanyahu. Their gamble paid off. Cynicism wins again.

 

[mccole]

Where's that Russian influence at?

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Harris wins, and wins quite comfortably

Trump claims a win and refuses to concede. There is another bit of civil unrest

Harris is inaugurated in January

Trump dies in prison

Oh well it was a nice dream while it lasted old stock.

Aye, I was astonished by how many voted for him even back in 2020. There's a massive swathe of people in the US who just seem be horrific judges of character and easily sold a con.

I'm guessing there won't be swathes of democratic militia armed to the teeth marching on the capitol.

I think they know who he is, they aren't buying a con - they know exactly what they're getting, which is somehow even more depressing.

It’s a popularity thing for him and he’ll say and do anything to get in, even said himself he would run as republican as they were more likely to believe his bs and vote for him

It’s the rube capital of the world and thus also a grifters paradise

 

[PhilM]

Fox News projecting that he's won Pennsylvania.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

All I can say is that the Democrats themselves won’t be blameless here

They’ll have lost it as much as the Republicans have won it

Whether they can successfully turn a critical eye on themselves in the coming years will define how 2028 goes

In politics, self reflection can sometimes be a valuable attribute

Tbf, I've seen that quote and as far as I know it isn't real. But as far as believing BS, Republicans do seem to be a gullible lot
