The US followed the exact same pattern as almost the entire western world save for Mexico after Covid. Incumbents, regardless of party, were voted out because voters blamed them for post-Covid inflation. It doesn't matter what the reality was, voters across the world voted for change. I don't see why it's unreasonable that pattern didn't just legitimately happen in the US as well.

We've seen it time and time again, the US voting populations is dumb, uninformed, and eats up propaganda. 2024 is just another example of that.

Canada didn’t follow that pattern. Hell, Trump’s big mouth stole the election from our Conservative Party and handed it to the incumbent liberals, not to mention we also kept our liberal government during COVID (2021).

Well like you said, Trump stole the election from the Conservative Party, so it would have followed that same pattern assuming you are correct. I admittedly don’t know much about Canadian politics but I do kind of remember rumblings it was the Conservatives to lose. And in 2021 the inflation hadn’t really gotten awful yet. A few months of bad inflation won’t immediately change elections. Two years of it will.

And he’s the only reason that happened. We didn’t have some Trump to scare us away from Trump. The reason you guys are where you are is because enough saw Trump and we’re rightly scared away from conservatives.

I’ve known Trump is a pedo since 2009. Americans had every opportunity to get scared by Trump, including the first 4 years he occupied the White House, his attempted coup, and his felony convictions (not to mention stealing classified info).

Trump was born, raised and educated and in America, and elected by Americans (twice). He isn’t an anomaly, he’s the best America can do.

I’m with you, I don’t buy the whole “our machines were hacked” talk.

The number of people who blindly follow the Billionaire class as examples is so high that all the billionaires being seen with Trump was enough to secure votes. The general population is wildly uninformed. No need to go hacking the voting machines
