    It will be interesting. I think more concerning for me is that the Republicans now have complete control. I am a big proponent of that never happening, for either party.

    Especially nowadays where everything seems to be spread thin in the center.


    It seems the majority got what they wanted, especially with full control. Now, all we can do is sit back and see what happens. I'm definitely ready for all the wokeness to go away. I'm not ready for healthcare and the economy to tank, but I'm hoping I'm wrong about those things. I am an idiot, after all (aren't we all?).

    Just got to roll with it and adapt to the policies whether it b benefical or harmful. If folks end up btching about it, just tell them should have thought about it when they voted.

    The center has changed.
    You don’t want the country to turn into California politically

    I am extremely disappointed but not surprised about the outcome compared to how I felt in 2016.

    This is America.

    The majority want Trump's vision of America.

    To me, the dramatic independent swing was a punishment for the fact inflation was so high. And it was the canary in the proverbial coal mine.

    But if the voting Americans wants SCOTUS to re-decide Loving, or banning Abortion, or mass deporting immigrants and illegal aliens, or kill globalization by imposing tariffs, or leave Ukraine to be annexed by Russia, or let Israel annex Gaza and West Bank, or support police crackdowns on racial minorities, or ban transgender care and ostracize transgender people, or eliminate childhood vaccines, or remove fluoride from the water, or repeal the ACA, or cut taxes on billionaires and corporations, or even end democracy,
    Who am I to stop it? I voted my values and America as a whole disagreed.

    Biden would have lost and Harris was the only acceptable option for our party. Trump has the same age and cognitive weaknesses as Biden but the press gave Trump a pass on it. While Harris being a brown woman likely did turn off potential voters due to our country’s inherent prejudices but I don’t think that was enough to give Trump the support he carried.

    Maybe I will be surprised but maybe it will turn out exactly as the last presidency did.

    Eggs won’t be suddenly cheaper.

    I agree with that. I don't want to live in California, politically. I just want common sense and the ability to work together, from both sides.

    As I have posted a million times here and some of the smart people who know are aware
    The mismanagement of California is real and it’s caused a domino effect to the other states with more balance in political policies

    look at Oakland California, they lost ALL their sports teams

    Like every company is leaving or moving their headquarters

    Movie studios are moving to Nevada

    they’ve made it to where there’s only one party there and you see the consequences

    It wouldn’t have mattered who ran on the democrats side they would have lost. Inflation was the only issue that mattered to most people and democrats got blamed for it. This is reminiscent of when McCain lost to Obama due to the economy. Trump got lucky that inflation hit most Americans hard. Unfortunately, his policies of tariffs and deportations are going to make inflation worse but I guess that’s a lesson that needs to be learned in real time.

    I figured if a white woman couldn't win a black woman had just a slim chance. Somewhere this morning Joe Biden will be eating ice cream and smiling...

    The economy has been the best it ever has been. Get ready for that to go away. Get ready for prices to go out the roof. Get ready to see our closest allies be alienated as we see “our president” cozy up to Russia and North Korea. Get ready to see Obamacare to go away. Get ready to see Putin run wild. Get ready to see a string of mind-boggling stupid decisions like removing fluoride from drinking water. Get ready to see hate dominate over love.

    And when all of this **** happens, just remind yourself- this stupid jackass country’s majority wanted this.

    Race and gender have nothing to do with why she lost. She is lame and has no game. Imagine if she runs the point for the Rockets because our owner is a woke clown that believes in DEI hire?

    Congrats on your windfall.
    Maybe you can use some of the cash to start a scholarship fund, if you have not already.
    Just a nice thing to do.
