No one really votes of foreign policy really
so as long as you aren't putting American troops on the ground you should really just do what you think is right thing for peace and security ect.
Joe Biden is an Israel supporter he thought what he was doing was the right thing to do.
If a left wing person becomes a democrat and they wanna turn off aid to Israel they should do that also.
Defending Ukraine is the right thing to do. However much people are annoyed by it,
I just don't think it matters that much to electoral outcomes.

Nov 5th wasn't a factor. There's always been a diversity of views in this thread.

Has this guy ever heard Trump speak on the matter, or he just a person that practices selective hearing?

Probably 80% of the poeple I work with are first or second generation immigrants, and almost everyone who I've talked to or heard talk about Trump was much like this. They've fallen for the talking points that all of the people coming now are criminals and lazy, and that they and their family and the people they know are all good people that probably won't be affected. And that they had to work their way to where they are and all of the immigrants these days get all of the government handouts (aka Haitians and others who got here on asylum laws).
While I in no way am happy about the results of this election, I am in no way surprised. Hopefully the mass-deportation is roughly effective as all of his other policy execution from the last term. Otherwise my employer is going to have to replace about 60% of their workforce and we'll be facing massive tariffs on literally everything we sell. Maybe I should start the job search.

The left wingers in here still don’t get it. Pointing to ******** arguments that Trump this and Trump that. Normal people don’t give a ishhh about that. They care about economy, safety and providing for their families. Demorats for ages say they are for blue collar and working people when in reality they haven’t done ishh for them. This red wave was a reminder to them, that you can talk a good game, but you need to show results. Say what you want about Trump, but he resonates with people and the issues. Is the guy perfect?? No no one is, but people wanted a big change of where the country was heading.

My newest fantastical hope is that next election there is a legitimate Democratic candidate that just says "**** it. We're going to do universal healthcare, $20 minimum wage (or universal basic income), forgive personal debt (not just college loans) up to whatever amount, and reparations.". Swing hard as ****. Won't happen, but maybe 47 goes hard enough in the paint that most people demand a huge change.

This is a pretty good read for anyone who's worried about a worst case scenario happening.
TLDR: Basically, it's going to be really hard for Trump to become a fascist dictator, and he really doesn't have enough time. It's worth pointing out on the judiciary side that, while about 25% of judges are Trump appointees, the other 75% are not. Not to mention the Trump picks didn't always do what he wanted.

Moral masturbating is all it is. Those people are entirely devoid of logic and rational thoughts.
A common argument is “[Democrats] didn’t earn our vote” but that’s where they end that point.
The question they should be asked is ‘how bad does the other candidate have to be for you to try and stop them?’
Amazing that they have the gall to to morally grandstand after subjecting everyone, particularly the Palestinians in Gaza, to the collective punishment of a second Trump term.
