For scale, 2 million in Turkey is equivalent to 8 million in America. Get the fuck off your asses Americans.

Hmm... I see. Yeah that makes sense.

Uh... too bad?

See a therapist. This is not normal and will cause you problems in your life—if it hasn't already.

Nobody is saying it is. It's that group of swing voters that have immediately changed from liking Trump to rejecting Elon and Trump.

I'm trying to say that rather than that being the case Democrats were just more successful in their campaign and therefore managed to push the result in their favor. As you said Wisconsin is a blue-leaning swing state, so Democrats winning a few offices doesn't indicate much in terms of nationwide voter sentiment. If you correct for Trump outperforming other conservatives in your calculations this is the likely result.

Do you mean that only one didn't go the way you'd hoped it would? Either way I'm not saying these wins aren't important, but rather that they're not unexpected. It doesn't give us any new information (such as "Conservatives are starting to sour on Trump's agenda"), but is rather well within the realm of expectations in the same way tossing a coin and getting heads once doesn't tell you much about the coin.

I mean Wisconsin voted for Trump, but it leans blue for other offices no? The fact that they voted for Trump in November is more an indictment of the DNC than anything to do with Wisconsin itself. That aside what I'm trying to say is that this result doesn't tell us anything new; it's nice but like I said isn't the result of conservatives turning on Trump. Democrats keeping that seat was expected, likely even.

I know that Americans are starved for good news, but Democrats didn't "trounce" anybody. They kept a majority they already had, which is nice but not impressive. This isn't the start of a glorious counterattack against the forces of reaction.

Edit: To explain a little what I mean, think of the amount of information you get from the event that a fair die rolls a number less than 5 once. Even if something good happened because of that result, it's still nothing to be surprised at. I'm saying that this election victory is like rolling a die and getting a number less than 5; it tells you nothing about the die. For all you know it's still a fair die—rather than, say, a die that's more likely to output a one than a six.

He is liberating the world from dependence on the US economy, so he's not wrong.

Oh no trust me, most of the world is watching and writing this shit down.

They think they don't, but many/most of them worship the neoliberal political establishment in a weird abusive relationship kind of way. Listen to your average high-information liberal talk about Gaza dissent in the 2024 election and you'll see what I mean. Around here saying that the Democrats needed to change course or they'd lose was enough to get you branded as a Russian troll.

And then Zionist twats will say there's no evidence for "intent of a genocide".

 
 
 

One thing Trump tried to do after getting inaugurated was considering Mexican cartels terrorist organizations, and for that he was attacked by Sheinbaum for violating Mexico's sovereignty. But, at least as far as I've read on the topic (whcih is not a lot to be fair), nobody actually explains why that's the case. I mean at a glance you'd think the Mexican government would benefit from such an action, or at least I did. It's pretty obvious to me I'm missing a piece of the puzzle, so does anyone here have it?

Edit: Thanks for the answers. Now it makes sense.
