    Well, Kamala only improved on Biden’s election numbers with one demographic -people making more than 100k- so it tracks. Blue MAGA is by and large fairly wealthy people who they think they are “middle class” or whatever nebulous term people like to use. But they really tell on themselves with shit like this and wonder why so many people hate their guts.

      I grew up poor in the south and lived in the PNW. Most of my coworkers were millionaires.

      The things they said about people from the south was so fucking bigoted my God.

      This new administration is giving them a big reality check. They fucking needed it.

    Libs like saying about conservatives “the cruelty is the point” but so many of them take glee in the suffering of others others when they don’t get what they want in elections or hell to countries designated as “bad country”. That cruelty applies to many of them too.

    Liberals and dems have decided they’d rather spend 4 years blaming minorities and poor people for Trump’s victory then turning a critical eye toward the DNC

    The democratic demographic coalition is actively falling apart as we speak, and by the time midterms come around, liberals will have forgotten how to engage with their minority base without indulging in horrific racism that is disguised as some bizarre form of “schadenfreude”. Party elites will panic during the last few months before midterms but by then it’ll be too late, millions of people are gonna be converted into nonvoters because of Democratic Party racism and poor-bashing, with liberals in general permanently normalizing among themselves this type of sneering, malicious, hyper-partisanism

    Liberals have replaced identity politics with identity schadenfreude and as a result they’ve most likely lost the rest of this decade

      This already happened in 2024, which is why (in my opinion) Trump had a substantial increase in Latino and Black male voters (not an opinion, the numbers speak for themselves as a percentage of the electorate).

        somehow taking a victory lap after years of consecutive Ls.

        They won the only battle they actually care about: the one against those to their left.

          And won the battle amongst the terminally online on platforms like blue sky and Reddit. The real world is unaffected by their performative outrage. Let’s be real and call it what it is, these liberals did not care about any of this stuff happening when the Democrats were in charge. The left in the USA stood alone on fighting against deportations, genocide in Gaza, the war in Ukraine while Biden was in charge. The liberals are just throwing their toys out of the pram now that blue team lost and red team won. It’s embarrassing to watch. Where were all these liberals when Gaza was getting bombed back to the stone age, where were they when deportation records were broken under Obama and Biden, where where they when the US and UK offered Ukraine a poisoned chalice to fight Russia with? They were nowhere, out to brunch as people say on here.

          The Democrat-NGO complex being the official opposition to the Republican party has doomed so many progressive policies. The worst thing is that the left has been ringing the alarm bells since 2008/2009, warning progressive activists that getting into bed with the Democrat-NGO complex was a terrible idea, but these activists didn’t listen and saw a shortcut to achieve their goals…

    You’d think they’d realize that people are going to be even angrier when the price of eggs doesn’t go down. In fact, the tariffs will probably make them go up! Imagine the opportunity that presents!

    But no. They can only think in terms of elections.
