For my British and European friends who are "shocked" and "surprised", here are 10 reasons you didn't see this coming.

Read this short post and then read the replies from our American friends who will confirm what I'm saying.

1. Americans love their country and want it to be the best in the world. America is a nation of people who conquered a continent. They love strength. They love winning. Any leader who appeals to that has an automatic advantage.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

3. Prices for most basic goods in the US have increased rapidly and are sky high. What the official statistics say about inflation and the reality of people's lives are not the same.

4. Unlike you, Americans do not believe in socialism. They believe in meritocracy. They don't care about the super rich being super rich because they know that they live in a country where being super rich is available to anyone with the talent and drive to make it. They don't resent success, they celebrate it.

5. Americans are the most pro-immigration people in the world. Read that again. Seriously, read it again. Americans love an immigrant success story. They want more talented immigrants to come to America. But they refuse to accept people coming illegally. They believe in having a border.

6. Americans are sensitive about racial issues and their country's imperfect history. They believe that those who are disadvantaged by the circumstances of their birth should be given the opportunity to succeed. What they reject, however, is the idea that in order to address the errors of the past new errors must be made. DEI is racist. They know it and they reject it precisely because they are not racist.

7. Americans are the most philosemitic nation on earth. October 7 and the pro-Hamas left's reaction shocked them to their very core because, among other things, they remember what 9/11 was like and they know jihad when they see it.

8. Americans are extremely practical people. They care about what works, not what sounds good. In Europe, we produce great writers and intellectuals. In America they produce (and attract) great engineers, businessmen and investors. Because of this, they care less about Trump's rhetoric than you do and more about his policies than you do.

9. Americans are deeply optimistic people. They hate negativity. The woke view of American history as a series of evils for which they must eternally apologise is utterly abhorrent to them. They believe in moving forward together, not endlessly obsessing about the past.

10. America is a country whose founding story is one of resistance to government overreach. They loathe unnecessary restrictions, regulations and control. They understand that freedom comes with the price of self-reliance and they pay it gladly.

I wonder what happened in the background that was different this time since the entire election fraud apparatus appeared intact from 2020. It was even deployed in 2022 without significant molestation. It's very mysterious.

Basically, Trump declared victory before the engines of fraud (3:30 AM ballots) could even be installed. He literally won and got KamalaToe to concede in THE MIDDLE OF THE FRAUD as it was unfolding.

Obviously, something serious happened in the counter-infiltration by Trump assets. Maybe many of those alleged but invisible tribunals took place after all and caused many of the fraudsters to take pause out of an even greater fear than that of their blackmailers and paymasters.

Curious minds would like to know, but the fraud got stalled or rendered impotent somehow for the Presidential race. Those extra phony 15 million ghost voters never had a chance to deploy, and the alleged illegal immigrant voter storm never got off the starting block.

They brought in the wrong illegals that are capitalist and take over apartment buildings. They didn't have time to vote being a landlord. Then most others were criminals. It's going to take some time to unwind what happened the last 4 years.

I'm convinced they pumped 20-50k ballots in RED states they knew they would lose to hide the fake ballots in swing states. A 30M vote difference would look too obvious.

Wow, WV and OK. Not one county went Blue.

You can really see the difference in California between the far-left extremists on the coast and the moderates inland.

It's a cancer scan, Batman.

The only thing the chart of California shows is that they overtopped the fraud out of fear of Trump.

I doubt KamalaToe got even 30 percent of the California vote, and that slimy non human pedophile slug Schiff did NOT win.

How much did lockdown and mRNA regret drive voters toward Trump?

The hard-blue states with the toughest lockdowns and vaccine mandates had by far the biggest shifts; a reader email suggests one reason the link may not be coincidental.

This amazing chart ranks states by how heavily their voters shifted toward Trump from 2020 to 2024:



Overall, Trump picked up about 6-7 points in the national popular vote. He trained by 4.5 percentage points in 2020 and will win by 2 or so this time.

But, as this chart shows definitively, blue state voters drove the shift.

Six of the top seven moves to Trump occurred in hard-left states, led by California, the hardest of all. (Florida, the only exception, has gained hundreds of thousands of blue-state refugees since 2020, helping drive its shift.)

And after Mississippi come three more blue states. Except for Mississippi and Florida, the list pretty much captures the states with the hardest Covid lockdown and vaccine mandates and the highest mRNA jab rates.

Where are the 18 million extra voters Biden got in the 2020 election?

Hint: They never really existed.

2. Unlike Europeans, Americans have not accepted managed decline. They don't have Net Zero here, they believe in producing their own energy and making it as cheap as possible because they know that their prosperity depends on it.

Net zero is resigning from life and prosperity. It is a fleeting illusion of having energy, until it breaks. Then everyone depending on that source is left without. After a disaster, if your fuel or power source is destroyed. All everyone needs is a resupply of fuel.

Patrick says

Probably the most mentally ill groups.

High Ashkenazi Neuroticism + Female Neuroticism = UGH

BTW Jews as a group: 45% Trump in Florida and New York, based on Exit Polls. That's a big jump from ~30%.

80%+ Trump in Hassidic enclaves in Brooklyn and New Jersey, one of the reasons Kamel-uh only carried NJ by a few points. They average 3-4 kids a woman, too.

Yep. You're either growing or dying; stasis is a myth.

We still need a term for the "Mid-East" region. "Old Northwest" was one, before the settling of the Plains.

Rustbelt is okay but Kentucky, Tennessee, etc. aren't really in that category. And like Maryland, they are quasi-Southern; as many or more KY and TN men fought in the Union.

Lakes doesn't work either.

Appalachia doesn't fit because Indiana, Ohio, etc. aren't in the Appalachians (or only a small piece in OH).

IL might actually be a swing state in 2028. Mexicans that came here legally are pissed. Blacks are pissed about the illegals. 60% of Chicago is Latino or black. Trump created the phenomenon of caring about the border, but I think it carries over.

If he gets the taxes on tips done a massive swath of formerly Dem voters will turn R as long as it's a charismatic candidate. Not many people pay in cash even though I know that's a frequent topic here. People just don't do it. It would be massive to the restaurant employee industry. For those low to middle class women that waitress, they'll love it. Same with hair dressers. Chicago is tourism and tips. We don't produce much anymore outside of finance, legal, transportation and government jobs.

I think JD is the guy for 2028. Either way they need to start planning. I don't think Desantis has it unfortunately. He does decent as a state level leader, but I just don't think he has it. And for gods sake don't let Nikki run or the New Jersey fat fuck. Reality is R's at least have fresh blood. I see nothing with Democrats.

If the outgoing administration doesn't start WWIII by authorizing the use of intermediate range ballistic missiles deep into the heart of Russia, then I think Trump has a chance of surviving until the inauguration.

I've said this before:

First, they tried to jail Trump - Fail!
Next, they tried to assassinate Trump (3X!!!) - Fail!
Start WWIII to prevent Trump from being inaugurated - In process.

Not an irrational thought, but I'm not seeing it. Too risky. We become a banana republic officially at that point. Like the banana signs the deal.

Republicans are mostly rational and reserved. If Trump isn't POTUS this time around with a popular vote, people will die. I don't think it will get to that level. Kamala was so bad they really can't defend her. But hard core right wing people won't stand by this time. Not just take a tour of Congress. You poke the bear enough, you eventually get mauled.

Trump technically as President elect could probably negotiate deals to avoid WWIII. I think we're already into it anyway though. We just don't have boots on the ground, but N. Korea sent troops to the Ukraine front. Israel is fighting in Gaza, Lebanon and with Iran who is allied with Russia. NATO countries are funding Ukraine and likely sending mercenaries. I mean, this is already a world war if you think about it.
