trump got 49.8% of the popular vote, Republicans in the house have the smallest majority that we have seen in over a hundred years. It would not take trump, and the Republicans, losing many votes to really screw them up.

President Trump won every swing state, the popular vote, the electoral vote and his coattails flipped the Senate and retained the House.

What did Kamala and her far left lunacy win?

I guess I should have known, the only thing that matters to Trumppers is money.

Doubtful since MAGAts ain't too bright.

OTOH, the 40% of American voters who are Independents and who voted for Trump will, undoubtedly, vote Democrat in 2026 if not 2028.

Agreed that MAGAt leaders only care about money, but the MAGAt base are white nationalists who are scapegoating anyone who isn't a Euro-American male. Again, they're not very bright.

Aldous Huxley:
...The political merchandisers appeal only to the weaknesses of voters, never to their potential strength. They make no attempt to educate the masses into becoming fit for self-government; they are content merely to manipulate and exploit them. For this purpose all the resources of psychology and the social sciences are mobilized and set to work. Carefully selected samples of the electorate are given "interviews in depth." These interviews in depth reveal the unconscious fears and wishes most prevalent in a given society at the time of an election. Phrases and images aimed at allaying or, if necessary, enhancing these fears, at satisfying these wishes, at least symbolically, are then chosen by the experts, tried out on readers and audiences, changed or improved in the light of the information thus obtained. After which the political campaign is ready for the mass communicators. All that is now needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look "sincere." Under the new dispensation, political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate and the way he is projected by the advertising experts are the things that really matter...

MAGAts aren't interested in facts. They are emotionally driven.

Again, Aldous Huxley has some wisdom to share:
Unlike the masses, intellectuals have a taste for rationality and an interest in facts. Their critical habit of mind makes them resistant to the kind of propaganda that works so well on the majority. Among the masses "instinct is supreme, and from instinct comes faith. . . . While the healthy common folk instinctively close their ranks to form a community of the people" (under a Leader, it goes without saying) "intellectuals run this way and that, like hens in a poultry yard. With them one cannot make history; they cannot be used as elements composing a community." Intellectuals are the kind of people who demand evidence and are shocked by logical inconsistencies and fallacies. They regard over-simplification as the original sin of the mind and have no use for the slogans, the unqualified assertions and sweeping generalizations which are the propagandist's stock in trade.
