Exactly rporter. A lot of the non-MAGA, non-Trumpers voted for him simply because they felt they were better off 4 years ago than today. Which is not surprising since this group of voters always go to the challenger. While republicans and democrats vote the letter behind the name regardless of who the candidates are, those non-affiliated tend to vote their personal situation. Better off today, they’ll vote for the incumbents or party in power, worst off than 4 years ago, they’ll vote for the challenger or party out of power. Not much thought is given to anything else if any. 22% of those who voted based their vote on being worst off today than they were 4 years ago, Trump won those voters 76-23 over Harris.
What so many people don’t realize, to many Americans presidential elections are strictly a referendum on the sitting president. If they feel their personal situation is better off, they’ll vote for the sitting president or his party, if worse off, for the challenger or the party out of power.
It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.

[quote]They have begun the deconstruction of the administrative state and apparently weaponization of government has become de facto reality. At this moment I do not believe Democracy will survive. I agree, but I am still have a slight hope it will survive enough to be repaired and that we do not fall into a full dictatorship.
Good doesn't always win!

Trump is doing a really incredible making sure he is in the news working the Democrats over. The Democrats, of course, being well mannered, and taking it on the chin with kindness and love. So, again, the Democrats are making damned sure they do not anger or say anything that might upset Mr. Trump. They are, in other words, doing everything they can to make sure the Republicans are happy and, apparently never lie nor make bad decisions.
It is REALLY time for the Dems to get off their dead butts and do something. One would think, for instance, that when Trump blamed the latest plane disaster on the Democrats might have, at the very least, fought back but, I guess, they are smarter than I (or just do not want to even try).
I also apologize. I suspect many agree, its been noted all over, over and over, and they just chug down the block as if nothing is happening. Mr Trump continues to work, very hard, to get EVERYBODY upset and is doing a great job. I guess the Democrats may have decided that he is doing such a great job that they will just keep their mouths shut and watch the firework. The Dems know, for instance, that their party is responsible for making Trump the president because something like 30% of them were too busy to even vote! We hear how the Democrats are going to destroy themselves. I always find that one strange. 30% of the Dems can't even vote! ALL the Republicans VOTED! These days, whenever I talk to a Democrat that tells me the he/she never voted I always say "Thank you!" They always ask "Why?" I always reply; "For making Trump president". Their response is normal. They stare a little bit and then get the hell out of my way. I used to think they might care. I am no longer even sure about that one.
I fear for us all and hope...............
