just want to be clear that if Trump wins, the only accurate answer to "why did Harris lose?" will not be found in a thousand thinkpieces on "if only she'd announced more policy".
the accurate answer will be "cos American politics and American society are irredeemable fucked".

Among white people, the correlation between racial resentment and their voting decision is much, much stronger than between educational attainment and political alignment.
In fact, if you control for racial resentment, education polarization basically disappears.

The tribune of the poor, the downtrodden? Studies clearly indicate that Trump’s most ardent supporters, especially in poorer areas, are, by local standards, quite wealthy / financially stable. Their “economic anxiety” is mostly downstream from anxieties over racial and cultural status.

By turning away Afghan refugees, many of whom have worked directly with the United States before the Taliban took over, this is what Trump is condemning tens of thousands of innocent people to: a regime where religious leaders can decide when you can use the Internet or call your business partners.
“100% of our communication is done through mobile phones,” farmer Iqbal Momand says. “When the blackout happened, everything came to a standstill. We could not contact the markets. Our harvested crops could not be transported.”
The Taliban's Internet Blackouts Are Devastating Afghan Farmers
When the Afghan government shut down all communication channels for two days due to political reasons, farmers were unable to contact buyers and transporters, resulting in significant losses.

It's obvious they were waiting for the shooting and would welcome any number of shooters and murders because they support both murder and anything to justify more fascism.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

National Guard aren’t ICE or Border Patrol. They didn’t sign up looking to harass and repress people. They’re volunteers, part time, in case of emergency. They didn’t ask for this.

Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

I get it but actually insurance is not like anything else we ever buy. It’s like if we paid the grocery store regularly but sometimes went three years without eating anything but a salad every six months, and then got in a car accident and needed five years worth of celery in an hour.
Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.
