There will be no lesson learned. It will be blamed on the other side and the story will be bought hook line and sinker



That happened in 2020 because everyone was so traumatized they forgot who was president then, but I don't think it will always happen.


yeah it a case of Democrats: "Please don't put your hand on the stove it will burn you" MAGA: "well I have to put my hand on the stove to pwn the libs" fallowed shortly by "ouch the libs made me burn my hand"


For the main base of course, but there's a large block of swing voters and "undecideds" that went to Trump for whatever reason this election. It's more about them. And also the ones that just don't vote because they think it doesn't matter.

MAGA represents a smaller proportion of eligible voters that cannot win elections without the broader support they somehow garnered.


Almost half the base made the fiscally prudent vote.

I don't know what the bigger half is capable of learning, some of them probably learned a lot already if they are a shareholder of any kind, and it would not make very much sense for it to remain the bigger half by now. It really was the non-voters that consistently failed to send Trump and his people packing though.

Sickening as it can be sometimes, hindsight is 20/20 and just a short number of weeks ago it would have made more sense for the shareholders of the USA to just cough the money up front and pay him $1Trillion to go away and never come back, taking his kind with him.

Even worse, a year ago his price would have surely been lower, probably one of the biggest lost opportunities some of these shareholders will ever see.
