The uncertainty is crazy, on the one hand I can't imagine that they'll actually want to cause people that much pain, especially with midterms only 2 years away, on the other hand, are they really just going to run a normal boring

Weren't Tariffs pretty central to the argument of why trump? If Trump talked about Tariffs non-stop as his economic agenda, and 70+ percent of people said they trusted Trump's economic agenda, it seems like a weird thing to go ba

I sort of agree with you, I assume they ran on Trump is a threat to democracy because it polled well, and the data does show that they did much better in the states they campaigned in than states they didn't (on average 1.5 points bett

Exit polls aren't perfect, but some of the exit polls showed that people liked Kamala Harris a smidge better, but thought that Trump would be significantly better on the economy. This "Republicans are better on the economy"

I do have to say, that I'm very curious to see what the next four years look like. The strange thing about the working class people that Trump brought over, is I think many of them expect Government action/intervention in their l

I don't buy that Repubs are the free speech party (or even that Dems were the free speech party). Republican complaints about free speech were almost entirely self-serving and never on principal.(this is not to say judges or other con

68% of people say "I often wish there were more political parties to choose from" describes their views either extremely or somewhat well. Rounding up looks like around 145 million people voted in this election, that's less t

I don't think so, he wouldn't have overcome that event, and I think this was equally a referendum on Biden.

Is it? You couldn't really know until you split out the parties. One odd thing I find with the GOP right now is there seem to be a lot of people voting with the hope they won't actually do the things they said they'd do. It

I'm curious if habits like smoking will ever make a resurgence. Seems like the rates keep going down. I can't imagine we'll ever go back to a time where smoking in restaurants or bars is normalized again.

This may sound weird, but this article makes me wonder if my lack of reverence for heroes is a character flaw.

What? The article says you're back to "seeing the world that many thought dead: one where individual achievement matters, where male ambition serves a purpose, and where great men still shape the course of history."

Yeah, maybe the point is more about a focus on the future than a "lie" and being willing to be really ambitious about that future. Yes, Trump sort of honestly described the problem, but provided overly ambitious and conflicting i

This is kinda the point I'm trying to make, that in the current environment most people want a leader who isn't afraid of lying to make a point. That is in my perspective what vision mostly is. When things are in crisis, like 20
