AIBU to ask for help to understand the American Election resul

Imagine you have an eleven year old little girl who was attacked and ended up pregnant.

Would you really, genuinely, sit here and think she should carry her baby to term? Really?

Surely to god he would be too old? And who is going to agree to him having a 3rd term anyway? I actually wish now he'd beaten Biden in 2020 and we would be done with the evil bastard, not having another 4 years of his bullshit!!

My position is simple. Women shouldn't be legally able to abort their children unless their lives are in danger.

I understand that there are horrific and difficult situations that arise, but it doesn't justify taking innocent human life in my opinion.

Are you also counting the Democrat populace in that who have turned a blind eye, covered up and protected/still protecting Bill Clinton at all costs? Or the long ass protection and cover up of staunch Democrat supporter Shaun "Diddy" Coombs?

I haven't adopted children. That doesn't disprove the pro life position in the least.

It's actually one of the weakest arguments pro choicers put forth. It's like saying, 'oh, so you're against homelessness, but how many homeless people have you taken in?'

Yes, I'm against killing babies in the womb, and yes, I'm for helping them out after they are hopefully born. I'm hoping in my lifetime I can help people out in a practical way, who find themselves facing the situation of expecting an unwanted child. Thanks for asking those clarifying questions.

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would vote for Trump

If you're American and voted for him or would have voted for him if you lived there can you please explain why?

Oh come on, there's been plenty of allegations! Prince Andrew has been pilloried but the likes of Trump and Clinton have been glossed over! The truth needs to emerge!

I don’t understand where the Epstein island accusations are coming from. Trump is not on the flight logs to the island, the Clintons are. Epstein was arrested during Trumps time as president.
I don’t have a pony in this race but I am confused with this type of misinformation.

20% of Americans are functionally illiterate, 54% have a reading age below grade 6.

They think Trump, the man who managed to hike up the National debt after inheriting a booming economy (even before Covid) and whose current plans if implemented will undoubtedly raise the cost of goods & services, is going to leave them better off with tax cuts.

All they have to do is sacrifice some environmental protections, roll back some personal liberties and believe.

Sound familiar?

In summary there are a lot of racist, misogynistic Americans who are happy to turn a blind eye to felony and support sexual abusers.

Some not very nice people really.

The economy and immigration.

How can anyone justify their voting for a man who had a quite close relationship with known paedophiles and spent a lot of time on their island, has been accused of raping children and women, who has affairs, mocked a disabled man, thinks women who have abortions should be punished even if they're rape victims.
I don't understand how anyone can push this into the backs of their minds and ignore it because trans people, the economy and immigration are much more important?

‘If I were a betting person I'd put a lot of money on the Dems for 2028.’

Not if Trump gets a third term. Whilst that isn’t yet possible, as there’s a 2-term limit, I think he will try and make it happen. No doubt he’ll try and use his big election victory to his advantage and to claim he has a solid mandate to secure a third term. I am of course being a bit over-the-top in imagining that, but I think it’s likely.

From everything I've seen on Twitter, this seems to be one of the most accurate analyses, like it or not. And it's happening all across Europe.

For a cohort who call the opposition uneducated and stupid, the Liberal left are very slow at understanding the realities of elections. The same is happening in Europe but they think the argument will be won by labelling everyone far right, closing all debate, cancelling people who are not with them, and driving ideological change without societal consensus. It's literally never worked in history and it won't again.

The economy was far and away the most important thing and people blamed the most recent administration for it (as was probably the case in 2020). Never mind that there was a pandemic and the expensive effects of climate change. People don't think in a very joined-up way when their wallets are hurting badly. I get it, sort of, but if they think they are likely to be better off under Trump et al, it's going to be a rude awakening. If I were a betting person I'd put a lot of money on the Dems for 2028.

In summary:

People have voted for Trump because they are struggling with the cost of living and are more interested in feeding their families than a war thousands of miles away. Trump will end aid to Ukraine and he’ll want his equipment back. Immigration is a huge issue with many high profile horrific crimes being committed by illegal migrants.

Kamala was more interested in providing gender reassignment surgery for prisoners and letting migrants cross the border in a free for all.
