I bet Trumps happy that Republicunt dipshits are no longer mismanaging his home district!

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5798055-democrat-gregory-flips-florida-house-seat/
>>
Democrats delivered a blow to Florida Republicans and flipped a state House seat in President Trump’s backyard, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Democrat Emily Gregory, a health fitness small business owner, defeated Trump-backed Republican Jon Maples, a financial adviser, in a race for the open Florida District 87 state House seat, which includes part of Palm Beach County and the president’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

As of 8 p.m. Tuesday, Gregory garnered just more than 51 percent of the vote, while Maples had just less than 49 percent backing with more than 95 percent of the vote in.

Gregory and Maples faced off in the contest after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tapped Republican Mike Caruso in August to become the county clerk and comptroller. Trump voted by mail in Tuesday’s election.

Although Caruso last won the seat by double digits and Trump won the district by roughly 9 percentage points in 2024, former Vice President Kamala Harris did win Palm Beach County by less than a point in the last presidential election. The district is shared by Reps. Lois Frankel (D-Fla.) and Brian Mast (R-Fla.) in Congress.

National groups and figures waded into the race before the special election, including Trump. Rep. Byron Donalds (R), a candidate for Florida governor, appeared alongside Maples during the campaign, while Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier (R) also backed the financial adviser.

Meanwhile, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC) backed Gregory, and retired Lt. Col. Alex Vindman — a candidate for Senate in the Sunshine State — held a virtual fundraiser for Gregory while Frankel endorsed the Democratic candidate.

DLCC Chair Heather Williams applauded Gregory’s win in a Tuesday social media post.
>>
“Mar-a-Lago’s state House district just flipped from red to blue, which should have Republicans worried about their chances this November,” she said. “A Trump +11 district in his own backyard shouldn’t be in play for Democrats, but tonight proves Republicans are vulnerable everywhere.”

This isn’t the first win for Florida Democrats in the last few months. In December, Florida Democrats notched a win when Democrat Eileen Higgins beat Republican Emilio Gonzalez to become the first Democratic Miami mayor in decades.

By voting Democrat, Republicans have superior morals: compared to inferior miggers supporting a morally inferior orange subhuman, which proves how they're just as morally inferior.

It's the independents that are overwhelmingly siding with Democrats because of how trump and republican policies have destroyed America.
>>
>Republicans Against Trump in 2020
They're still active today
So many Republicans have suffered financially, therefore they're making an orange thing electorally thus politically suffer. The fact this was happening before the Epstein Scandal & now Operation Epstein Fury proves that Republican voters have had enough.

>>
>>1500345
>Trump isn't on the ballot in 2028
But whoever the GOP replaces Trump with, they've already got no chance. Trump has already given the Dems the next presidency, regardless of whoever they pick. The midterms will do for Trump, what's done before then ensures the Dems win in 2028.
The only policy agenda they need is the fact they're not the Republicans that'll still be tainted with MAGA, unless they remove from office that orange definition of badness now. A complete purge of MAGA & everything it stands for.

If what you say is true, why did Trump win in 2024?
Why wasn't Kamala Harris given the next presidency after Biden?

People were so frustrated with Biden and Harris they didn't realize Trump was a fucking retard, aided by him getting every billionaire behind him.

Trump has completely failed has an administration. If people were pissed at Biden for the Afghanistan withdrawal and his prices, then getting into war with Iran and the current state of affordability is gonna put Trump's head on a pike.

But that's not true.
2024 was the first election where we knew what both options were, at least when Joe Biden was the candidate. As people had lived through 4 years of Biden and 4 years of Trump.
Every single American had direct first hand knowledge of what life would be like under either leader.

If what Trump said is true, why did he prove his own opinions wrong?
Why is Trump a pathological liar? Why is this and worse the reasons why Dems are winning, and before the Epstein Scandal, Operation Epstein Fury, and the economic fuckup happening now?
>>
>>1500353
>Every single American had direct first hand knowledge of what life would be like under either leader.
They forgot about Trump because he was less recent. And they didn't realize that a re-elected Trump would have all the guardrails stripped off.

Look at how it fucking worked out. Everything people were pissed at Biden for, Trump is doing infinitely worse bar maybe immigration, and even on that regard ICE is less popular then ever because more and more random people are getting victimized by them. People were fucking slapping gas stickers on the pump blaming Biden for them spiking based on one pipeline closure, and yeah Trump did a good job reducing them initially. Then he decided to go into a war with Iran no one wanted on Israels behalf and now it's fucking HIGHER than it was when people were complaining it was unacceptable under Biden. There's an absurd amount of open corruption going on, almost universally at the expense of the average consumer or even stock trader. Most of his cabinet is fucking embarrassing to the point even he had to start kicking some of them like Noem to the curb. He's had multiple high profile fuck ups and disasters like Liberation Day and DOGE. And I'm not even going to get into the Epstein files shenanigans.

And before you say "well Trump isn't gonna be on the ballot again!", one, tell that to him. Two, the problem is the Republican party has forced themselves to be in lock step with him. Everyone has to suck his dick, everyone has to agree with whatever insane shit he says no matter how stupid, ignorant, or blatantly incorrect it is. They've defined himself as his sycophants. You can't disassociate modern republicans from Trump, especially not in the average voter's eyes. They refused to cut out the cancer and now he's metastasized to their bones. Dead or alive, they're not getting rid of Trump.
>>
>>1500356
How is it whataboutism?
You said
"Trump has already given the Dems the next presidency, regardless of whoever they pick."
If this was true, why would the American public re-elect Trump in 2024? If Trump being awful was enough for Democrats to win by default, Kamala Harris would be president right now.

>>
>>1500360
>If Trump being awful was enough for Democrats to win by default, Kamala Harris would be president right now.
He was awful enough in term 1 to hand it to Biden. He's even worse now. People vote based on the economy as a factor more than any other, and LOOK at how we're doing under Trump.
>>
>>1500361
the answer is stupidity
we're fucked as long as MAGA retards think they know everything
>>
>>1500352
The page isn't biased, you are.
>>
>>1500362
Yeah, I don't think even Jesus could fix it at this point. The next Democrat president, assuming that we aren't a full on electoral dictatorship like Russia or Hungary by that point, and assuming it isn't some do-nothing "new" democrat, like Gavin or Shapiro, is fucked, especially with the news media, supreme court, and oligarchs against him. Trump 2.0 will be memoryholed, like W and Trump 1.0. If you ever wondered why voters have goldfish memories when it comes to Republicans, but not Democrats, it's because of our media ecosystem. The billionaires will break campaign finance records pumping 8-12 billion into the 2034 race, and the Dem president will be a one termer. Then we'll get president Tucker or something. There is only one party that gets to meaningfully move this country (and cultural bullshit does not count as meaningful, it does not meaningfully change my day-to-day life or improve the standard of living of myself or posterity), and that is the Republicans.
>>
>>1500345
Given how badly trump fucked up the economy and the US, 'TRUMP BAD' was a viable platform, the problem is democrats went with a limp dick moderate who wasn't willing to do bold stuff to fix the system or even immediately prosecute trump for all his crimes. which is what allowed him to crawl his way back.

Trump is a cult leader. It’s the only explanation for every single supporter of his not abandoning him immediately after they double tapped the girl’s school. If anyone took out a girls school in America they’d want to hunt down and extrajudicial kill everyone involved and their families, there’s other stuff too besides what you’ve touched on like the speedboats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, they’re literally just bombing people there’s no oversight whatsoever and they aren’t even pretending to justify it beyond the leader saying they’re bad guys. It’s like these people are under some magic spell or something it’s really weird how detached from reality they are and the lack of self awareness.
See if there’s a ground invasion and it goes badly if his supporters will start openly calling to nuke Iran

For the ones who aren't cheering this on for religious or trolling reasons, a lot of us Americans are tired. We're numb. We're being constantly pressed by financial stressors, and then flooded by a deluge of schizo /pol/ shit from the admin. It's a lame excuse, because people over there are literally losing their homes and dying, but when you're just thinking about making it through the week because you got to triage to pay for the rent that's just gone up by 200 a month, your world shrinks to just you and your family. Everything outside feels kind of unreal. Furthermore, we've been bombing people in the Middle East for about 25 years now. It's become normalized. Intellectually, it's upsetting, but emotionally, it's difficult to be invested in, kind of hearing about the latest school shooting.

The ship has sailed on true communism and fascism. You might get regimes that ape the aesthetics, but true believers don't really exist. Even modern Nazis mostly believe in it ironically to piss off people, and are certainly not going to die for the movement. It takes some really fucked up shit (aka WW1 and Great Depression) to get the Nazis and Soviets. Between the collapse of childbirth in most countries and the coming climate catastrophe, you're probably going to get something much weirder and terrifying.

Given how incompetent trump is, fascism is already failing. Unless you stages a coup, then his own empire will collapse in a decade since American's traditional allies will turn their back on America and their enemies like Russia will play trump as the sucker he always been.
But given conservatism has always been the greatest threat to America from revolution to today, it's a given that conservatism, aka authoritarianism would be the death of the country.
>>
>>1500500
Americans fucking hate ICE and the camps. I think they'd approve even less of chambers and burn rooms. Trump might have actually spoiled fascism for Americans by not delivering on his economic policies. The bargain fascist have usually made is that they'll resolve the current crises if you let them "do what they have to do." Trump might be binging from Orbán's playbook, where the idea is to create a dispirited, disengaged populace rather than a fanatical one, but even Orbán needed some popular support to enact his policies, and Trump has been tripping over his own feet, even with a friendly media environment, a trifecta, and a very weak and disliked opposition party. Maybe if he were younger, and his brain wasn't going to mush with the dementia and strokes, he could have pulled it off, but he just doesn't have it in him any longer.

If you find New York Times articles an easy read, you are in the big brained intellectual elite of American society. Let that sink in. Based off of PIACC data, about half of all Americans adults read below a 6th grade level. Yeah, we're a pretty dumb people, and proud of it. We value bone headed obstinance, and we shame the scholarly and well-read as smug, out of touch, deceitful, effete, and useless. You probably even got an inkling of cringe, or reddit, from all of this, because there is a kneejerk cringe reaction whenever we see someone defending intellectualism in our culture.

More like the dumb have gotten dumber and the intelligent more intelligent, though Zoomers and Alphatards have been fucked over in particular by covid, AI cheating, school funding predicated on pass rates, the teaching crisis, general societal malaise and hopelessness, and yes, a culture that says it is okay to be proudly ignorant that was pushed by both leftist and rightist.

My guess is that the economy the oligarchs are shaping no longer demands educated and skilled workers, hence the culture of retardation that has taken hold and the stratification of education. Consider, for instance, that Epstein's GF's dad was one of the joint owners of Macmillan/McGraw-Hill, who almost every public school in the US orders at least some textbooks/lesson plans from, and we all know what Jeffrey and Ghislaine thought about the rest of us. Or consider how it is way harder to get into a prestigious university nowadays if you aren't a richfag, or to pay for higher education in general without enslaving yourself to debt or selling yourself to the military for a few years.
>>
>>1500532
The obvious answer is that the oligarchs are getting dumber as well.
But they aren't. They're outsourcing everything so there's no need for smart sheep to produce anything.
>>
>>1500535
And thus after passing NAFTA and allying with China, the liggerals took over education and started teaching everyone about fags, while importing grade schoolers from other countries who can't even speak English for more funding and better pensions.

In the 1950s, the top rate of tax was 91%.
Did the president then - previously Supreme Commander of the Allies in WWII - have the letter 'D' after his name, and were his voters blue or red: especially when they elected said president twice?
I can wait, especially between now and the midterms, certainly up to late 2028: but can your opinions' credibility, particularly how those with 'D' after their name have been elected, and before those who voted for Gregory thus making that district turn blue?
'Punish the ultra-rich previously favored by Trump' is a policy agenda that'll get Republican voters financially punished by Trump voting for those with 'D' after their name.
Did those who were red or blue vote for that president in the 1950s when the highest rate of tax was 91%, and what letter was after that president's name: 'D' or 'R'?

I'm not asking if the top tax rate was 91% I am asking if anyone paid that rate. Because I am pretty sure they didn't, and the "effective tax rate", the rate people were actually paying was far lower.
Did you ever hear of "exemptions" or "loopholes"? Because those can cause a top tax rate to become an effective tax rate

I'll have this partially prefired, because you're a disingenuous faggot. You're going to ignore the effect that civil rights, Barry Goldwater, the Southern Strategy, Nixon, neofederalism, watergate, Reagan and neoliberalism, the moral panic and moral majority, Christian dominionism, Bush and the War on Terror, the Tea Party, Covid, the Great Recession, Obama, news media consolidation, polarization, Trumpism, and many, many other events that have radically shifted the Republican Party politics over the past 70 years. For instance, just one massive difference is that Republicans in Eisenhower's day weren't anywhere near as overtly or politically religious as modern day Republicans.

>y-y-you refuse to agree with my wrong opinions, therefore I'm reduced to immaturely calling you names for not coming to my inferior way of thinking!
>all that the GOP did after 20th January 1961
And is it any wonder that Dwight D. Eisenhower was the last decent Republican president: compared to the glazers of the most recent - and worst - Republican president?

Sorry, I just see this argument repeated ad nauseam where faggots try to say that Trump's GOP is the exact same as Eisenhower's or Teddie's or Lincoln's party. The corollary is that Democrats haven't changed since pre-1964 Strom Thurmond (doesn't count after he swapped to R) or even further back, the pro slave owning party during the Civil War.

It also projects the current polarization on the parties of the past when back then, there was much more internal disagreements in the political parties and more bipartisanship.

What source was provided for the 91% tax rate?

Except they not only don't, but they're over preforming in districts rigged by Republicans (see trump's district)

What do you mean? They always perform better in special elections due to lower turnout caused by Democrat voter suppression.

Trump even voted by mail in that election, thats how secure and popular it was

Why would you tell such lies?
