(zh) reasons Trump won
“1. it’s the economy, stupid!”
“2. immigration, both legal & illegal, is out of control
“3. folks are afraid of world war iii”
“Americans have never been as afraid of world war iii as they are now.
“4. the media’s smears against Trump no longer work
“The past eight and a half years of the legacy media’s smears against Trump no longer have the effect that they used to in manipulating voters’ perceptions of him, and have even become counterproductive. the more that they accuse Trump of being a ‘Nazi’ or whatever else, the less that people care.
“5. Musk restored freedom of speech online
“the preceding points are all important, but they wouldn’t have led to Trump’s victory, had Elon Musk not restored freedom of speech online by buying twitter.
“6. Musk, RFK, & Tulsi made it cool to defect from the democrats
“7. the amish & poles helped Trump pull ahead in Pennsylvania”
“the keystone state became the key to Trump’s victory this time around, and he has the amish and poles to thank for that. the Posobiec brothers (popular conservative commentator Jack, and his brother Kevin) recruited their fellow co-ethnics in their home state. the combination of these two, both groups and activists, guaranteed Trump’s victory there.
[GRA: After-the-fact blather, but nice to know the poles, of which I'm one, were a key to Trump coming back.]
“8. the republicans’ gotv campaign made all the difference
“the republicans were determined to make Trump’s lead ‘too big to rig’ after being convinced that he was defrauded out of his rightful second term during the last election [N.S.: But very few gopers would admit that publicly.] to that end, they embraced early voting and harvested ballots as enthusiastically as their democrat rivals did four years ago, knowing that literally every vote counts and not wanting to miss a single one. this made all the difference by pre-emptively averting speculative scenarios by which Trump could have been defrauded yet again.
“9. abortion is no longer an issue in presidential elections
“the democratic party relied on abortion for so long that they don’t know what to do now that it’s no longer relevant at the presidential level.
“10. Walz was one of the worst vp picks imaginable
“Kamala might have had a chance if she [had] picked Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro as her running mate instead of minnesota governor Tim Walz, but the former is Jewish, and has ties to the Idf, so she feared that she’d lose the midwest’s muslim vote if she chose him. that was a mistake, since Walz was one of the worst vp picks imaginable and J.D. Vance made mincemeat out of him during their debate. most Americans didn’t want Walz one heartbeat away from the presidency after that.
“Trump’s political comeback story is one for the history books, after the seemingly insurmountable odds that he overcame. “a mix of masterful campaigning, Musk’s purchase of twitter, and arguably a stroke of divine providence over the summer came together to make this possible.
GRA: I’ll add one more thing: Whites, in general, took their country back—at least nationally. We saw enough—in 2020-2024—to come out in force to stop the commies. Now we have to work on local “problems”— i.e., blacks in positions of power.
--GRA
N.S.: Kamala Harris was, with Hillary Clinton, one of the least attractive standard-bearers ever for a major party. Not physically, but in terms of personality, positions, and entitled attitude.
