🗳 🇺🇸 🌊 Change in vote margin from Trump/Harris 2024

📝 🇺🇸 🗳 Trump and the GOP built a potent political base and then dynamited it so thoroughly; an astonishing rise and fall.

The medium to long term issue is just now, the Democrats earnestly don't want to deliver much of anything to their voters either. They don't even earnestly oppose the war in Iran and obviously they are furiously stroking it to the heckin' Ukrainians more overtly that Trumps gimp suited twats did.

Can the country survive 2 years of a congress unlikely to do much except investigate and hold hearings? The economy will almost certainly crumble from energy crisis, and the wars are respectively unwinnable and not very popular. Democrats are as dedicated to Zionism as the GOP, just more lowkey about it.

The real danger for America is either a Dem slimmer majority; that tries to "AHH Schucks we couldn't get anything done.... vote for us again, just not toooooo much okay?" or a Dem giga-majority that has to just outright avoid doing anything and says "Fuck it!".

The hour is late, economy dead, wars unwinnable but the danger now is that the new faction in power is unwilling to abandon unpopular wars in any meaningful sense. Has zero real desire to do anything on the economy, they don't want to do universal healthcare or cancel student loan debt or any of that, and they will send 60 morbillion to Israel, to Ukraine, to fuck all.

Thus America is still on its slated road to ruin. The GOP for its part is back where it was in 2014; a dying party with a dying voter base, only now that voter base that remains is a decade and some change closer to the grave. Democrats are still hoping to rule and govern but not have to do anything but psychological rewards and money checks for select clients whom they can't afford to pay off all of them anymore.

🗳 🇺🇸 🌊 90% of Tennessee is reporting and Democrats still cling on to narrow leads in a majority of the state's congressional districts, all of which are connected to either Memphis or Nashville.
