These are the things my MAGA relatives are saying on social media.

1. We knew prices wouldn't come down day 1. We knew it would take time. If 
you didn't know that then you're an idiot.

2. Through HIM all things are possible. Trust the process and keep the faith. It is always darkest before the dawn. We got this! (Not sure if the HIM is Trump or Jesus, but probably both, let's be honest)

(Typed out exactly as written by my uncle)
3. Yep prices are high as sh*t right now and yeah we prolly are going to go thru a recession but guess what? Not his fault at all and I and millions more get that. He cam in to the worst most f----- up economy since Regan It is going to take a lot to fix this sh*t. He is saving us millions uncovering the fraud and don't forget he donates his entire slary back to the US unlike sleepy FJB who stole stole stole from US and robbed the US blind!

Any MAGA that are deep in the cult will never admit that they were wrong. Those who have admitted to regretting their votes seem to be those who voted partyline because they always vote for a R or young people who voted for Trump because of Palestine.

Why would Republicans admit their vote was wrong?  They won!  So obviously their vote accomplished what they wanted it to.  We're the ones who won't admit to being wrong.  Which of our policies have we changed in response to the voters rejection of our platform?  None.

We keep telling ourselves that the stock market or federal layoffs or Ukraine funding are the ultimate outcomes of politics, but those are all second derivatives.  What matters first is winning and losing elections and being in or out of power.  We just got booted out of power.  Obviously we are the ones who should admit we were wrong.  [b]Something about our policies, personalities, and performance caused us to be rejected by the voters.  We should figure out what it was and correct it.[/b]  [/quote]

I'm a local professor. I've talked to hundreds of young voters to try to find out what happened, and these are the 2 things I heard from them:
1. Palestine. They wanted a hard stance against Israel and pro-Palestine. They were very put off by Harris' statement “Israel has a right to go after the terrorists that are Hamas,” and believe that Israel did not do that. They think Israel went in like a bull in a china shop and caused as much destruction as possible and it wasn't a fair fight because Israel is so much more powerful than Palestine. They believe Israel used the attack as an excuse to eliminate as many Palestinians as possible not just Hamas.

2. The Harris campaign had a lack of direction. They don't think she had a firm stance on any policies. They do recognize that this was due to the restricted time she had to campaign, but they also believe that she was too meek to take any stances that were anti anything Biden believed or against any policies Biden had made.

People 18-44 overwhelming voted for Harris. However, people 18-25 overwhelming abstained from voting for a POTUS at all. I had 212 students during my Fall 2024 semester. Of those, 191 were registered to vote. Of those 191, only 54 voted for a Presidential candidate (52 Harris, 2 Trump).

I have 220 students for my Spring 2025 semester. 208 are registered voters; 68 voted for Harris; 4 voted for Trump; 1 voted 3rd party, and the other 135 did not cast a vote for a Presidential candidate.

Those are small sample sizes, but if that pattern continues across all campuses, as I believe it does, that is what sunk the Democrats this last go around.

Well, they are the ones who will have to live with the repercussions of electing Trump after the older people are gone. So I hope they are happy with what they did. [/quote]

The failure lies with the party. Their job is to win votes. They failed to do so, and the youth vote was very clear what it would take. The party chose not to listen. The party got Trump elected. And the party will continue to lose until it decides it wants to win votes again. [/quote]

No, the Dems didn’t fail. Elon bought the election and childish college students (and Michigan) took a misguided “stand on Israel.”

Now, Trump is posting videos of him and Netanyahu sunbathing on a rebuilt Gaza beach with Trump Towers in the background. I hope all those kids are happy with their protest vote. I’m sure the people of Gaza really appreciate their moral outrage.

I’m so over people not voting in their own interests that I don’t care if the Dems ever get back in. I’m going to be fine. Let these kids FAFO. I hope R’s take away all their student loans.[/quote]

exactly. That is what gets so mired with all the chaos that is happening. [b]The Democrats didn’t mess anything up with their campaign. [/b]Elon paid for the results of the selection. So much disinformation  across all kinds of social media platforms. Trump never had a plan for any of the problems that people were complaining about prior to the election.  and Trump didn’t even get 50% of the popular vote. [/quote]

Seriously? How blind can you be?

The professor's post was spot on.

All Harris had to do was say that Israel needed more accountability for their actions. Quite simple.
On this front, I'm disappointed by both parties - neither has the guts to stand up to Israel. [/quote]

She did. But maybe you get your news from Tik Tok?

Very early on in her three month campaign, she reprimanded Israel. [/quote]

Yes, Harris did. She also had actual plans for dealing with the economy and social issues. You never listened. [/quote]

Or...stay with me now...we disagreed with her and thus did not vote for her. Democrats desperately need to let go of the idea that they are entitled to people's votes. You aren't. You have to convince people to vote for you. You failed to do so. This is why you lost. There's no other reason. Your platform and your candidate failed to win the most votes. The whole bully and shame people into voting D doesn't work. Try a new strategy. Maybe listening to what people say they want. [/quote]

Or … stay with me here…the majority of actually liked her policies better[/quote]
