Nachdem fast jede Stimme ausgezählt war, wechselte jeder Bundesstaat zur Republikanischen Partei.

I thought WA and OR slightly shifted a bit blue

Utterly horrible performance by the Democrats, not much else to say.

Hope those cheap eggs are worth it. I also hope everything you voted for happens to you.

I guess the rise of Trump voters in every major population centers state (Florida, Texas, New York and lastly California) is what cemented Trump’s popular vote victory

Trump got less votes than before too so you can hardly call it a shift towards. This was a shift away from rightwing politics.

when your blue option is just repub-lite and it’s increasingly obvious the two parties are the same rightwing bullshit, people just stay home.

dems should have sounded the alarm about biden’s approval a long time ago. he set harris up for disaster

To put this into context, the Republican party came closer to winning the traditionally blue states of Illinois and New York than the Democrats came to winning Texas and Florida. That’s how big of a setback this last election was for them.

It was weird. In Georgia Harris did better than Biden did. But Trump did even better than that.

I can’t really complain about Democrats not getting out to vote – we did in record numbers. There were just more Republicans this time. Which sucks, because I fundamentally do not understand their support of this candidate – but it’s comforting to know it was a choice by people, not a broken system.

I don’t know how to fight a broken system, but I know how to fight (metaphorically) people and ideas. This is a different battle, in a different venue now. Not the end.

They will all regret it

NY and NJ are concerning for dems long term, but the more immediate threat is Texas and Florida moving out of the “potential purple state” bucket. Especially since they’re expected to be the big winners in the 2030 reapportionment.

Incumbents got destroyed across the globe this year largely due to inflation. Unsurprising that people are short-sighted and don’t understand causal relationships that span years (Covid, the Ever Given obstruction of the Suez for a week, and corporate price-gouging drove inflation more than any one leader’s policy). We fully live live in the age of social media, disinformation, & conspiratorial thinking – people need an outlet for their blame and picked their country’s leader/leading party.

Things will shift left in 2028 once everyone realizes that there’s nothing Trump can do to magically make prices go down, just like Biden couldn’t. I think/hope there will be a strong reaction to the blatant corruption in the administration that doesn’t actually result in the working class being better off, but we’ll see (assuming we have an election)

I was told on Reddit that Texas would be blue this election. At least at the senate level

Keep in mind Trump’s win was gleefully welcomed by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, North Korea and Russia. Nothing to see here folks!

3.5m votes went “missing” from 2020. Coincidentally wait times, particularly in swing states, were multi-hour, with Pennsylvania in particular having 7 hour waits.

It’s the same trick they always use, close polling sites in blue areas, send broken or too few machines to the ones you can’t close.

What doesn’t make sense is why the Dems let them do it…

I mean, there’s being bad at your job and then being *that* bad at your job.

And in a few months they’ll all be bitching how that’s not what they voted for. He’s hurting the wrong people. Things are too expensive. The fresh foods they like aren’t available. And whatever else

Turns out that promoting DEI, puberty blockers, mass illegal immigration, censorship, war with Russia, political persecution and weaponization of the legal system, gaslighting about inflation, undermining democracy with no primary and selecting the candidate based on race/gender, and labeling half the country “nazis” and “fascists” didn’t resonate with most voters.

It was my upstanding that red didn’t gain but blue lost, I.e. the Republicans activated just as many voters as last time but the Democrats activated way less. That would mean this map shows a relative shift towards red, not an absolute one. Is that correct?

Whats interesting is that there is only a difference between the two of a bout 2.6 million votes. Then Sum the total of all the votes or other people besides Trump and Harris and it is basically the difference between those two.
