Looking forward to things improving now as Liberals have promised will happen once Dems win
Well done. This is just perfect.
The best part is that Elon spent $35 million just to lose both the senate and governor positions in Texas.
And 446 million overall. The only bad thing about this is, the ad agencies that were beyond shitty got paid.
$446 million to him is like $4 to a normal person.
so he only has 995 400 millions left? how unfortunate for him 😆
https://purepowerpicks.com/elon-musk-net-worth-tracker/i am not rooting for him, it is just mindblowing that an individial can have so much money that this doesn’t even register. if i buy a dinner, it is bigger part of my net worth than this was for him.
Bye Greg!One of Paul Rudd’s better movies.
Imagine if Texas stayed blue for presidential elections here on out. No more Republican Presidents
More likely, the republicans would shift on their positions, giving ground on some topics to regain a mostly balanced representation amongst voters.
Hell if I know what positions they’d shift positions on, but no doubt there’d be some.
they need to take the win and fix the gerrymandering for good
idk if that’s possible, but if it is it should be their top priority
I literally just said that a few minutes ago. Holy shit that would be glorious!
I think that depends who the Republicans nominate in 2028.
If they nominate someone who is (or at least pretends to be) reasonable, collected, and moderate – someone “back to normal” – I think they’ll be able to win some of these states back. But if they nominate “Trump 2.0, the double-double down,” they’re going to have a bad time.
(Given the way primaries are run, with more extreme members of the base more likely to show up in primary voting, I think the latter is much more likely overall.)
Chicken Dance ftw!
In Mexican culture, this is a very inflammatory gesture.
Which one, and what does it mean?
Oh, it’s a running joke from the show Arrested Development:
I forgot about the Mexican part. I gotta watch that again, it’s been awhile.
You should watch it on Cinco de Cuatro
I wouldn’t mind kissing that man between the cheeks.
Fuck you, Ken!
Fuck you, Greg!EDIT: Fuck you, Dan!
IMPOSSIBLE!!! I was told many times on Lemmy that Trump had rigged the election.
This is fake news
Not rigged, but attempted to stack the deck. Premptive redistricting, suits to throw out votes before they got cast, plenty of ways to try and plausibly skew those few states that would decide things.
BS. There were tons of comments claiming he was going to rig the vote, declare martial law, or deploy ice and you know it.
Comments coming from unsubstantiated and random people should be treated with more than a grain of salt. Believing in fear mongering at the behest of the mob is hardly thinking for yourself.
rigged/did =/= could/may
Given the erratic nature of this unhinged person shifting major policy stances with his mood there’s nothing off the table.
Also we are not out of danger yet. Most experts predicted the actual vote would go okay, but were worried about the aftermath.
They’re not going to do shit. They know they got destroyed and the people aren’t on their side. The fact that they conceded Texas already should tell you everything. It’s literally their most important state outside of Florida.
So sick of the relentless and irrational cynicism on this app.
The next month is going to be crazy. I predict very desperate measures from people trying to avoid jail, including Musk fleeing the US.
Oh I’m sure they have suits lined up across the country ready to claim fraud perpetrated by all their usual boogeymen among other things. I can hope the courts continue file them in the round file just as much as they did with 2020.
Going to need a lot of state cases filed since inevitably he’ll try to pardon everyone around him, but he can’t touch state charges.
The next couple months before a new seating is going to be wild for sure.
