November 5th, 2024, there was a rude awakening for 66-67M Americans (or those who voted for Kamala).
71-72M voted for Trump.
Trump won both the popular and the electoral vote.
It was touted as being too close to call, in the end it wasn't even that close.
Blunt
Kamala had less chances of winning the presidency than Joe. It probably would have been a better decision to stick it out with him. And this is a real question, why did they choose their candidate without letting the voters have a say.
Polls Vs Primaries
Hillary didn't have a chance in 2016, and she won their primaries. Kamala had about the same chances as her in 2024, actually she had a lesser chance.
It was wishful thinking in both instances, the very definition of insanity.
Surprise?
News, Media, Hollywood celebrities and machinery were behind Hillary and Kamala. Their supporters thought they had in the bag, yes up until the voting closed. The night of the elections, when the counting started there were tears. There was actual and utter surprise.
Not 2020, No Pandemic
2020 Joe won. But that was not after several days after election night. In 2024, there was none of that crazy wait. It was almost like 2016 all over again. The verdict was clear.
People Don't Like Trump But They Had No Choice
Trump is not a saint, not by a long shot. Yet millions of people who do not like him at all, still voted for him over any other candidate (from his party and from the Democrats).
Kamala's Kamalisms, Kamala's laugh. Kamala's fake accent. Kamala's rehearsed answers. Kamala's condescension. Kamala's dig at those who shouted Christ is King and Jesus is Lord. Kamala's performance as Vice President. Kamala's stance on issues that middle American care for. Kamala being Kamala.
Exodus 2.0?
Millions of Americans would say they will leave America (again), yes like back in 2016. But millions of people outside of America would give up an arm to trade places with them and millions of these people living outside America risk everything to slip and get into the US by any means. Everything is ironic. Many things go over our heads. Or we are just blind to them. And that's the hard truth.
When we look at a map of the United States it will look mostly red. It bled when we allowed someone to take several shots at and assassinate an ex-President and one who is running for the position.
