How is anyone surprised?
Uncommon Analysis ^ | 11/7/2024 | Uncommon Analysis

Posted on 11/07/2024 9:04:42 AM PST by HamiltonJay

The writing was on the wall for Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election well before Tuesday night, how is it then, so many people wound up surprised? How could so many people wind up shocked when the most likely outcome, and what had been the most likely outcome for the entire election cycle, came to pass on Tuesday?

How could so many people, honestly believe that Harris, or any democrat, had any prayer at victory in the 2024 election? The indicators were all agains the democrats this cycle from the beginning. The Biden/Harris administration has been, by any objective measure an utter and complete failure almost from day one.

The writing was only on the wall for those who were looking hard for the signs.

All the pollsters and all of the major media outlets were working overtime to make it look like a close race.

Many people depend on the media for their thoughts

Once again, Liberals were believing their own hype, never mind the facts and the actual views of voters

In a legitimate election, I thought Trump would win. When Philadelphia and Fulton County can bring truck loads of ballots after dark, I feared the worst.

It’s what they did while Hillary campaigned

None of us were surprised that he won - just surprised they were not able to steal it in the dead of night this time.

Meanwhile, over at the democratic underground.....😂😂😂

Because even if we saw the signs, there was the history of 2020 when we went to bed at night while Trump was leading and woke up in the morning to find out Biden won.

People felt this way because the actions of the Left destroyed America’s faith in their electoral process.

Seems to be the norm for DU the last couple of weeks. I’m guessing that “high traffic” wouldn’t be an issue if it was celebratory.

“It’s a close race.”

“The race for the White House remains tight.”

“Polls show the race for the White House a tie.”

“Sharp as a tack.”

“Behind closed doors, Biden is sharp.”

“Threat to our democracy.”

I believe absolutely nothing from the corrupt MSM. As someone said, they are just paid actors reading the script of the preferred narrative.

Democrats shot their wad in 2020. 81 million votes for Biden? There was no way in hell that Harris would come close to 81 million votes, never mind 71 million votes. Trump’s strategy of playing the numbers game ensured that the Harris campaign couldn’t match Biden’s votes.

Polls once again underestimated Trump support by 4-5 points.

Nearly 75% of the county believes the country is on the wrong track, and this has pretty much been the case this entire election year, in fact the lowest the “wrong track” numbers have been this entire election year has been 30.5%. The number of days the Right Track polling has been above 30% all year would not even require 2 hands to count. No incumbent party has ever won the White House with that low of a percentage of the electorate believing the country is on the wrong track, ever.

I've noticed that a lot of these articles can't seem to keep "wrong track" and "right track" straight.

It was tight, they still got 49%.

We’re damn lucky we won. We’ve got a lot of work to do.

Kamala did absolutely nothing of substance/importance the last 4 years.

I think modern women and democrats think just a woman existing and “being around” (while doing nothing) is actually being deeply involved and is “very hard work” deserving respect. They actually think working hard is a 2 minute movie montage where work is condensed/sped up and finished to a catchy soundtrack, and wow, its over and the big problems are just all solved.

Most men know otherwise. Its not. And they just voted their viewpoint.

They may just keep it as a pay to play site permanently.

The lunacy must be epic.
