Who will win the 2024 US presidential election?

[Rooster1908]

What I really needed was some colouring books, Legos, a snack and naptime.

Thankfully my BF gave me a blowjob instead.

So it wasn't a homophobic slur

You are a much more tolerant man than me Red. I struggle to suffer fools gladly.

He sadly has to suffer fools madly

Veteran journalist ism22 speculated that:

- Trump has a heap of celebrity pull factor and his marketing pitch worked this time around. Also, the broader trend is that both left and right wing governments are struggling to hold government right now due to inflation. Politics aside, people see prices going up + lower bank balances and instantly say 'the current government did this to me' rather than inviting a few economics PhDs over for a robust discussion about global economic conditions and what impact fiscal / monetary policy has had on them. MR might be best equipped to talk to this one as she's an economost.

- There's always the mid-terms and I suspect once people have realised Trump's threats to slam China with a heap of tariffs, send home a heap of 'illegal aliens', 'end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours' don't work (or magically fix the economy / 'make things great'), his majority will be gone and he'll find it impossible to pass anything. We'll then get 2 years of him moaning / groaning like an animated dead corpse (as he'll know he not only can't pass anything... he can't contest the next election), after which the public will have another vote.

- I suspect that in the short-term this will fortify conservatives within Australia though. Faced with inflation and Trump's victory... IMO Albo will struggle to win the next election. Even if the RBA were to cut interest rates pre-election, the lag would be too great for anybody to feel the weight off their shoulders and be like 'well done Albo' (noting he's not responsible for monetary policy anyway, so I'm not suggesting they should be doing so... but voters do).

- Right now I'm sorta happy there's no riots and shyte. I was prepping for a rougher week actually... one where Trump got smashed but refused to accept it, called for riots, called the system corrupt and caused a heap of chaos. TBH I'm enjoying being able to process the calm. As Biden said... Trump winning doesn't mean the Dems have been destroyed. Every election's different and I don't necessarily think that Trump getting a big win, taking it as a mandate to do whatever the fark he wants and acting like an arrogant dictator for 4 years will necessarily be good for the Republicans' chances moving forward. We'll see!!!

- Curiously not sure where Andy's Menadue-loving alts have gone (with some becoming Trump fans despite identifying as 'lefties'). Be interesting to see how this plays out for the Australia/China relationship. I've said it before but one big thing going for Trump is that Chinese/Russian interferers (including Russian bomb threats closing down polling booths where Dems were expected to show up... not blaming this for the result but JUST SAYING) actively want Trump in so that he can harm the US' relationship with likeminded countries, thus opening the door for them to make inroads as a source of power/authority. It'll be a 'watch this space' I suppose but my guess is we're in for a world where Trump and Dutton are trying to play the big man against Jinping. Neither are statesmen so the international scene will probably be a little bit dreary.

I’m concerned about the effect it will have on us economically, with tariffs and our trade relationship with China. As for Paddo, not sure where he’s been. Maybe helping Putin somewhere.

[Andrew Walker]

My neighbour who follows this place eas so disgusted by these comments They came knocking on my door in tears to show me the vile homophobic filth that had been posted

I eventually worked out what you did there.

[ism22]

Oh please! Compared to the 'Ho?

[Insert list of celebrity endorsements throughout the campaign in an attempt to prove that Trump is not a longtime US celebrity personality with a unique pull factor attached ... why you bothered trying to disprove this fact I'm not sure]
...

I really had to stop reading after your first paragraph of nonsense.

[You only wanna consume content that feeds into your belief that the Dems are incompetent and are completely screwed for the next 50+ years now... FINE... but I respectfully disagree]

Fafuk's your 'the ho' reference too? Jeez you're putrid, mate.

[Carlos Parra]

So it wasn't a homophobic slur

Depends on what you interpret BF to mean.

I think your response is more a reflection of you than it is of me.

You took the bait quite readily it seems.

Well done

[Carlos Parra]

Well, it's a tad better than labelling all Trump supporters, 'Nazi'.

I'm not saying you did, but about 50% of America did and barely anyone fell off their perch.

When I consider the Cackler's background, then yes...I'll refer to her as a 'Ho. I apologise if it upsets your delicate sensibilities.

Allabanese has already said there will be no impact whatsoever.

We can trust him at his word, can't we?

[Carlos Parra]

My absolute pleasure.

And I think you mean "You're welcome".
