Republicans (ThePAMan included) never want to look inward, only outward.
"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

Everyone else burying their head in the sand because a large part of the problem stems from reasons we (the U.S.) caused.

Yep by gerrymandering and giving delusional Progressives elections they can win
Mark Carman: "The Whitlock!...Caleb Williams failed Wayne Whitlock." Been told I need to take my dick out my mouth so maybe I "wont [sic] sound like such a fucking faggot all the time[.]"

Tempo: "PAMan is a pot stirrer and agent provocateur"

LOL. You remain delusional. At least you are consistent

You don’t think the progressive-appeasing open border policy Biden/Harris had for a couple years didn’t hurt this campaign?

Harris spent a lot of time talking about the economy. Democrats are just using the economy excuse because admitting that America roundly rejected their principles and policies would be salt in their wounds.

I was talking about Trump's targeted approach to wooing the working class and minority voters, particularly in swing states.  Many of these voters broke for Trump in the last few weeks of the campaign.  They made a big difference in the outcomes in Pennsylvania and Michigan.  I think the strategy helped Trump close the gap after the debate and build momentum for election day. 

Bottom line: Trump needed to build a broader coalition to win in key states.  He succeeded.   

I'm not using the economic anxiety issue as an excuse for Harris losing the election.  It was a flaw in her campaign that hurt in the battleground states.  She needed to reach out to this voting group much more effectively.  Trump was able to demonstrate that he understood their economic hardships.     

There were other missteps as well.  I've already admitted that Biden and Harris took too long to make immigration/border security a major priority.

And you seem to admire a hard right-wing war criminal in Israel. Custard and JJ might not be our only resident fascists.

Alum ignores that Trump's largest ad buy was the Kamala Progressive Taxpayer Funded Sex Change Surgery for Prisoners and Illegals that ran on a loop during football games....Kamala is for they/them had zilch to do with her losing men...and women and youth voters.

That transgender ad was primarily designed to keep the base energized and motivated across the country.  It served as a spark for the true believers to talk to their friends and family, plus volunteering to knock on doors.  My MAGA neighbors brought up the issue repeatedly in our conversations.  So did the two Trump canvassers who stopped by.  It was the second or third issue they pitched to me.  They didn’t even bring up the economy, which is understandable. 

However, that ad was not meant for the working class and minority voters.  I bet more than half of them didn’t even see it.  Just look at the states and cities that Trump visited.  His message was much more targeted and nuanced in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin.   

The working class voters felt like he understood their economic hardships at the personal level.  He made an emotional connection.  It’s one of the reasons he did the McDonalds photo-op.  He talked about putting the working class first, returning manufacturing jobs to the U.S. and then pivoted to immigrant labor.   

It was a good strategy that Harris was unable to counter.

I've said a billion times he has to go. The problem is the dumbass Palestinians, Lebanese, and Iranians play right into his hands.

You don't think Black men watch football? What about young men? They don't watch either?

I love that he is demanding unconditional surrender as this has to stop. They don't want peace? Fine. Keep getting bombed then.

I wish you had run Trump's campaign.

I fail to think of a single Dem who is anti-UN such as you are.

They, as if Hamas and women and children are a monolith. Most of them just want to live and have a place to live. You’ve basically advocated exterminating an entire ethnic group of people, which is as monstrous as it gets.
