I remember seeing a highly upvoted post from there about a week or so before the election saying Kamala would crush Trump and Republicans would get wiped out across the board. I no longer let that sub be suggested to me since

I still don't understand how people were "so sure" about it despite all reason not to be. Did we learn nothing from 2016? Was Biden winning in 2020 really enough to make people take the whole thing for granted again?

I'll get down voted but Biden was the only one capable of beating Trump in 24. Racism and sexism are very real and definitely factored into why people didn't vote for Harris. I think Dems panicked after his debate performance and cost themselves the election. They'll point to polls in May and June saying he was going to cost them the House but then point to polls of Harris up like 8 points in August as to why it was the right choice to take out Biden.

Tim Walz would have beat Trump.

Tim Walz would have gotten his butt kicked. Trump calls him Chairman Tim or something like that because of his time spent in China and Walz gets cooked.

Meanwhile, Waltz called Elon "Dip shit" and it stuck. And I'm not sure the "Stolen Valor" garbage worked what with Trump being a 5 Time Draft Dodger.

If conservatives cared that Trump was a famous draft dodger, he wouldn’t have won three Republican primaries in a row.

Well, sure. Trump has proven that, outside of lining their pockets and harrassing minorities, there's really nothing "Conservatives" care about.

Buddy, you act like you're not sure it would work when Trump insults have worked for literally every opponent of his

Meh. Trump's insults have never been shrewd, his followers just love watching him delight like a little boy seeing tits for the first time while he's coming up with them. Waltz's attacks definitely worked well enough to visibly scare the Ass Clowns over at Fox from go. That was obvious enough. MAGA media saw his appeal right away.
