Summary

This victory makes Trump the first U.S. president to serve non-consecutive terms since Grover Cleveland and the first with a criminal conviction to hold office.

Democrats were shocked by the loss, particularly as exit polls revealed significant shifts among key demographics: Latino men favored Trump by 10 points, and more voters identified as independents or unaffiliated.

The economy was the top priority for Trump supporters, while Harris voters emphasized democracy and abortion rights.

The election also showed increased dissatisfaction with the country’s direction, as 72% of voters expressed anger or frustration.

      This is literally the exact same tired tactic used about 2016; attack and blame the left, instead of the neoliberals, moderates, centrists, corporations, or 70 million people who voted for fascism. It is a manufactured PsyOp, that has achieved the exact opposite of what you want 2/3 times.

      Trying to blame and shame the left into voting the way you want has failed 66% of the time. You can either learn from it, or continue repeating the same mistakes… it’s not like the left’s gonna care. They blame you, and enjoy the schadenfreude of your failures.
