Damn, I really had a bad read on this! My commute through the city has been full of giant Kamala signs since the debate and none of my maga neighbors went hard with the signs this time around, but my county went Trump!
I really thought it was gonna be close and MAYBE go Kamala. Didn't expect a Trump landslide! |
yeah kinda wild that he swept ALL 7 swing states. I felt similarly about Wisconsin but I do live in Milwaukee county which is one of the most blue counties of the state, so not the best representation. The rural areas really showed up
one of the more headscratching things is there's states like North Carolina that elected a democrat Governor while at the same time going for Trump. Like I get the people going all red across the board, but who's voting democrat AND Trump on the same ballot?? |
Ticket splitting is pretty common, especially with Trump fans as a lot of them consider themselves "non political". Also Josh Robinson was horrible and had a ton of controversy around him due to him posting some wild things on a porn board years ago (I know, I know... but we all know Trump's shit is brushed off no matter what he does).
Looking at popular vote vs. 2020, it looks like a lot less people got up and voted. Trump actually has 2 million votes LESS than he had four years ago despite clearly winning popular as of now with 90% of the vote counted. 2020 had historical numbers because of mail-ins. I wasn't excited to vote in 2020 but did because I got a ballot in the mail and threw mine in. I didn't this year. I think many people, if forced to choose, would usually swing against Trump. But I think Biden would have been trounced if people had to get up and go.
Doesn't help that democrats do not know how to elect likable people. Obama is the only candidate that had a ton of likability in the last 25 years. They really needed a strong, popular candidate to go against Trump. Kamala was not it.
Just hope shit stays cordial. I resent Trump and his fanbase for causing so much unnecessary hatred against people that are different from them. It's fucking disgusting. Despite the many things I agree with when it comes to conservative policies, I can't ever get behind them fully because of that. Just be nice to each other. Shit. My absolute favorite election memory was when Obama won and John McCain went out to do his concession speech and the fans started booing Obama. McCain told them to shut the fuck up and he's a good man and if you support me, you're going to support him. That's lost on us these days.
