It was the moment he had fantasized about for four years. At 2:24 a.m. on Nov. 6, Donald Trump strutted on stage in a Florida ballroom, surrounded by advisers, party leaders, family and friends. The Associated Press had yet to call the race, but it was clear by then that the voters had swept him back into power. Staring out at a sea of supporters sporting red MAGA hats, Trump basked in the all-but-certain triumph. “We’ve achieved the most incredible political thing,” Trump said. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate.”
How Trump, 78, won re-election will be the stuff of history books, and already America’s choice can be traced to some key decisions. To Trump’s top aides, the thesis of the campaign could be summed up in a simple slogan: “Max out the men and hold the women.” That meant emphasizing the economy and immigration, which Trump did relentlessly. It meant diverting attention away from the chaos of his first term, the abortion bans he ushered in, and his assault on American democracy four years ago. It meant a campaign that rode the resentment of disenchanted voters and capitalized on the cultural fractures and tribal politics that Trump has long exploited.
Most of all, the outcome can be credited to a singular figure whose return to the White House traced a political arc unlike any in 250 years of American history. Trump left office in 2021 a pariah after inciting a mob of supporters to ransack the U.S. Capitol at the end of an attempt to overturn his electoral defeat. Three years later, he engineered an unprecedented political comeback. Trump effortlessly dispatched his GOP rivals, forced President Joe Biden out of the race, and vanquished Vice President Harris in a dominant victory that exceeded virtually everyone’s expectations.

“a pariah after inciting a mob of supporters to ransack the U.S. Capitol”
He did nothing of the sort.
I don’t know where to start with all the lies. What has TIME become, a comic book?
What abortion bans did he usher in? Did he personally push for and sign them into law? All that took place was a SCOTUS (with judges appointed during his first term in office) that finally overturned a very poorly constructed decision that allowed the states to go back to regulating abortion.
What a load of swill. So typical of “Time.” They just cannot help themselves.
“It meant diverting attention away from the chaos of his first term, the abortion bans he ushered in, and his assault on American democracy four years ago.”
NOT ONE of those things is true. Not ONE.
They misunderstand everything with such malice that it must be intentional.

Stopped reading right there.
We voted him into office (again) despite your persistent, gnawing, propagandist lectures, for the past eight years. That's how he won and how you played yourselves into irrelevance.
“Keep your friends close. You enemies even closer.”
No Covid drop boxes, for one.
Looks like there were millions of fake Covid votes for Biden in 2020.
These vile pieces of filth will never learn.
Not worth wasting my time. No pun intended. We’ve just dealt with over a year of dem lies, accusations and name calling. It’s done and I’m happy. I’m happy they’re so sad as well
You controlling totalitarians never learn that your ideologies of socialism and communism always fail eventually. Why do you think that so many nations copied and succeeded with America's original principles. Of course nowadays with the massive influx of third-world migrants, those principles are fading away in a number of nations.
Diversity is not always what it's crack up to be!
15 MILLION of them!!!!
Trump won because we are still a country based on the Constitution. He adheres to it. Doesn’t matter how many times one is married, divorced, what on’s personality is, how much money one inherits from his family, or how much money one earns.
It doesn’t matter how many accusations he gets thrown at him.
He adheres to the constitution. Right now people can see that we need to consult and live by the constitution.
That’s all there is to it
I say take his lead and enjoy the win. It is the winning side
Just listened to Sean Parnell on the Clay and Buck Show and he told them that he and GOP operatives starting organizing a ground game operation for the Republicans in Pennsylvania some 18 months ago.
They recruited a bunch of volunteers and Parnell said that everyone was told to keep quiet about it and post nothing about their efforts on social media of any kind. They wanted Democrats to become complacent, and from the numbers we saw from early voting, it looks like the PA GOP caught the Democrats completely by surprise.
Sean Parnell said also the ground game apparatus they put in place in PA is going to be replicated in other battleground states such as Wisconsin and Michigan in the future. He also said they were going to target New Jersey too. If you haven’t seen the stats from New Jersey Trump lost by only five points there, a dramatic improvement over 2016 and 2020, so clearly a huge ground operation was in place there too.
So one of the stories of this 2024 election that the media will not mention but should be stated is that the GOP learned from 2020, and without much public attention brought to it, they had a strong ground game nationally and basically caught the Democrats flat-footed, and according to Parnell this will be a permanent thing going forward!!!
We need to start targeting California. If we can get California, all the other dominoes would fall.
