You failed in the past election and Trump became president because millions of people disagree with your narrative, no matter how long of a report on hacker news that you write!



Thus fulfilling the old adage, “... If you have neither the law nor the facts, hammer the table.”


No long report this time? You never changed my mind so all your words failed. You might want to work on increasing your argument ability or you waste your own time. Nothing you said convinces anyone that there is not a loophole in 2025.


Trump got a little less than half of the vote, which means millions of people also agreed with it.

I mean... Trump won in 2016 despite millions more people voting for Hillary Clinton.

When Republicans win, they claim a sweeping mandate from the masses and declare themselves harbingers of a widespread cultural repudiation of progressivism and leftism (even when they lose the popular vote) and when they lose they just claim the other side cheated and everyone agrees with them anyway.

It's all pantomime.


But I wonder who is president right now? What party controls both the House and the Senate?


You can certainly argue that the Democrats failed to inspire and move the left whereas Trump succeeded with the right, although Trumpists seem to be regretting it more each day. This isn't a political conflict between rural and urban, left and right (there is no actual left in the US outside of social media) or even proles vs elites, but between establishment elites and outsider elites - and Trump represents the former, and Elon the latter.

But you can't rationally argue that Trump's success is due to an overwhelming repudiation of leftism from the masses. You will regardless, ad nauseum, because you're a Trump and Elon stooge. But the math just doesn't math.
