So, according to your predictably “brilliant analysis” none of that money paid the wages of Americans who will spend that money in America to pay the salaries of Americans who will buy American goods and services. It was just lit on fire and did nothing in the economy. Or, wait, yes, you are an effing moron. The latter is much more believable.
All the propaganda money could buy couldn't beat our rag tag and poorly funded movement. Let that sink in for a bit. Gone is the Reublican party of country club elites. Hello to MAGA, the party of he working man and woman.
Why not tell the truth for a change, Ajax. You might find it refreshing. The richest man in the world bought Trump. Another billionaire, Peter Thiel, owns Vance lock stock and barrel. You are such a dupe.

Man when they cut Medicare benefits so they can pay for a tax cut for Elon Musk I'm going to laugh so hard.
Many old people will cry, but it's not their America anymore.

Enough bad times are around the corner as unscrupulous Trump MAGAets enact Project 2025, that a police state will be coming.

If the DNC doesn’t do some soul searching we will be suffering with extreme conservatives for a long time.
Blame it on those who ran against Chancellor Hitler in the election. The people of the Deutschland were blameless in this one.

I understand why people want to call Trump fascist, but I think that’s one of the reasons people think the left has gone insane.

Take his first term and compare it to Hitler. Trump comes out looking like Mother Teresa.

Yes, Mother Teresa was known for negligence so bad, it killed a million Americans. I remember that too.

People's memory on Trump has the duration of a fruit fly's.

People on the right think the left has gone insane because they are insane and rational thought doesn't feel right to them. The left's sins are ridiculously tame compared to the right's. I'm sick of the false equivalence.

The bottom line is, the average American's mind is mush. Most people are living in a stupor. They are daft and ignorant. I will relish them getting what they asked for, the damned morons.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

Yes, if we just toned our language down a little, I’m sure the MAGAs would be reasonable. :roll:

Adios Ukraine and NATO.
Are those bad things?
Europe can cross the US off its allies list. Others might agree with you Shades. What have Western Democracies done for us? North Korea will be sending troops to Ukraine to support Russian troops. Should we also lend a hand?

Let's stay on topic, Ajax. You said the money was evaporated. Do you stand by that? Let's look at this more broadly and include all of that cheesy Trump merch in the campaigning money spent. Are you saying that the working man and woman were not involved in that? Did not profit from it? Did not buy it? What makes your propaganda machine more virtuous than the Democrat propaganda machine? The MAGA version was significantly funded by the richest man on the planet, Elon Musk. What's virtuous or working person about that?
It is a waste to have to spend so much on political advertisement. I'll grant you that. But how many welfare checks or black small business startups could $2.1 billion have brought?

Without Elon we wouldn't have free speech or have won. With Elon we still had way less than the Democrats.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

I’m not saying that at all.

Democrats simply need to run a compelling candidate. The drop from 80 million to 60 million is a clear indication that Harris wasn’t a compelling candidate.

Yes, they need a candidate that looks like a cat toy for voters to play with, something shiny and stupid to catch their moth-like attention.
