Media gaslit the entire nation.....smh
Glad he explained this.....
Folks were already complaining about buying a home.....Man oh man......
Shit, I didn't watch news or any election related shit for the past week. I remembered what a bad night I had back on election night 2016 and even though I thought it was 50/50 leading up to this past Tuesday, I had a bad feeling, so I watched youtube reaction vids all night and just kept getting "oh fuck" texts from my friends 
Been thinking about the outcome though, and they're giving him a mandate. I seriously think that if the country wants to be MAGA.... just let it happen. Let trump be trump, let MAGA be MAGA. They got the white house, the senate, SCOTUS and they'll probably keep the house. Let them rule with an undivided government and run the table on their wish lists. Sotomayor and Kagan should resign from the court in January and let trump nominate replacements and the senate confirm them since their votes on decisions won't matter much for the rest of their tenures (Jackson just started, so I can understand her maybe wanting to stay for a bit) so the court leans right through the 2040's.
When DEI, abortion, open carry, concealed carry, criminal/execution etc cases come before the court, let Clarence and co. write the majority opinions. Let congress vote to lower corporate tax rates as much as they want, let there be mass deportations, unfettered child separations at the boarder, let trump tell Bibi "hey, do what you gotta do", put tariffs on everything we import, let RFK ban vaccines and let Elon run a government efficiency department and privatize the post office, severely cut SSI.... all that and more. Let them have what they want.... reap/sow.
Don't get me wrong, I'll hate most of it (although NJ gun laws are stupid, so they can use some changing), but especially if they hold the house, what's the use of trying and failing to throw up road blocks to the movement for the next several years?

TV Ratings: Election Night Viewing Drops Sharply
Fox News led all networks in primetime, but audiences were smaller across the board compared to 2020.www.hollywoodreporter.com

No, only those who were living in a vacuum or didn't know better.
Useful idiot.
I have said this - people ( especially "progressives") are blaming messaging or a lack or a primary or ( the best) a better candidate (!)
Same ppl that were waving banners at Kamala rallies and wearing hats and t shirts in the states she needed ....they didn't go to fucking vote !!!
2nd year at the LATEST
No non MAGA politician from California will ever be lead on a Federal ticket again.
Waste of fuckig time. Look at the map, and uplift the former military, married, heterosexual, articulate, BLACK GOVERNOR or Senator and call it done.
They weren't at her rallies nor wearing hats and tshirts. They're weren't involved at all.
Just fucking around man, gotta put some light on all this crazy shitC'mon bro
I was just giving you an update
I TRIED!
Damn we follow the same people cause I came here to post this same tweet and it's currently 5 minutes after you posted it.
Yes, Trump Won. Here's What Happens Next
Trump doesn’t represent policy, but that’s not what people voted for. Here are six key takeaways about election night — and our future.
wordinblack.com
Question 1: What happened?
Donald Trump won the presidential race. Republicans won control of the U.S. Senate. And we don’t know the outcome in the House yet.
Question 2: How did it happen?
The early exit polls show Trump’s three strongest groups were white men (59%), Hispanic men (54%), and white women (52%). In Georgia, it was even worse. One exit poll said that 69% of white women voted for Trump. Even after he took away their reproductive rights and was found liable for sexual assault, the majority of white women voters still chose patriarchy over their own liberation.
On the other hand, Kamala Harris’s three strongest groups were Black women, Black men, and Latino women. The final numbers will change when more data comes in, but the problem is that Harris’s base (Black women, Black men, and Hispanic/Latino women) are only 18% of the electorate. But Trump’s base (white men, white women, and Hispanic/Latino men) made up 77% of the electorate.
As for the Senate, Democrats held a narrow majority and faced a brutal map trying to win in red states like West Virginia, Texas, Ohio, and Montana. That’s part of the reason Harris tried to stay away from controversies that might hurt the Senate candidates.
Question 3: Why did it happen?
This is a tricky question to answer before all the data is collected, so let me just say this.
Some people are blaming inflation and the economy for Trump’s success. I don’t buy that because Black voters are more negatively affected by inflation and the economy than white voters, and we voted overwhelmingly for Kamala Harris.
In fact, I don’t think it was about issues at all. If you look at policy alone, nearly all of Harris’s proposals got majority support, but only half of Trump’s did in a recent Washington Post survey. Missouri voters approved a measure to increase the minimum wage, which Harris supports, but still voted for Trump to be president. And the majority of Florida voters cast ballots to protect abortion and legalize marijuana, even though they didn’t reach the 60% threshold for a constitutional amendment.
Those are Democratic positions. Let’s be real. Trump doesn’t represent policy. He represents cultural resentment against a changing America. That’s what people voted for.
Question 4: What could Harris have done differently?
There’s going to be a lot of debate about campaign strategy, but it’s too early to draw definitive conclusions. Republican David Urban complained that Harris should have run a more centrist campaign. I disagree. I think she bent over backward to accommodate centrists and Republicans. On the other hand, critics on the left argue that she should have run a more progressive campaign to motivate the base, and that’s complicated, too, because doing so would definitely have cost Democrats the Senate in those tough red states.
But the truth is, I don’t know if any of that matters.
As a Black woman, Harris had little more than 100 days to introduce herself to the public and mount a presidential campaign against a powerful white man who is a former president bankrolled by the richest man in the world, Elon Musk. In spite of those obstacles, she raised a billion dollars, drew huge crowds, and generated excitement in a race that was lifeless before she entered.
Trump did everything wrong in his campaign, and it didn’t matter to the majority of white voters. He got indicted four times, got convicted of 34 felonies, lost the debate to Kamala Harris decisively according to all the polls, couldn’t articulate any more than “concepts of a plan” for health care after 10 years of running for president, flip-flopped repeatedly on abortion, refused to answer a basic question about the minimum wage, simulated a lewd sex act on stage, refused to apologize for a speaker at his rally attacking Puerto Ricans and Latinos, joked about shooting the press, picked a running mate who called him “America’s Hitler,” and was outed by his own former chief of staff for saying “Hitler did some good things.”
Nothing mattered because it was never about issues. White America has been lecturing Black people about crime, morality, and patriotism for years, and then they vote for a convicted criminal, sex offender, and insurrectionist to be president.
No Black person or woman with Trump’s track record and two impeachments could ever be nominated, much less elected president. That’s why it’s not about policy. It’s about race and gender and the changing America. Donald Trump is the avatar of white supremacy. And the fact that a small but significant percentage of Black and Brown people were willing to excuse or embrace his racism, sexism, and xenophobia doesn’t disprove that. It just reflects how some of us have assimilated into the same white supremacist beliefs.
Question 5: What does this mean for the future?
First, he will be able to appoint a new attorney general who will fire Special Counsel Jack Smith and dismiss the criminal charges against Trump for the January 6 insurrection and stealing government documents.Second, with a Republican Senate, Trump will be able to appoint several new Supreme Court justices, who will be young enough to give Republicans control of the Supreme Court for the next 20-25 years. That means if you wanted reparations, reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, DEI, environmental protections, or any progressive policy, that won’t happen in your lifetime, no matter who succeeds Trump in office because the courts will strike it down.

Third, Trump will be able to appoint vaccine denier RFK Jr. to head up women’s health and vaccines. He’ll cut taxes for billionaires, which is why rich people like Musk support him. And he may be able to begin his promised mass deportation of immigrants through executive authority, and impose tariffs on foreign goods that will cause inflation to spike.
He also promised to abolish the Department of Education, bring back stop-and-frisk policing, and give law enforcement immunity from prosecution, so be ready for that too.
Question 6: What do we do next?
Hakeem Jeffries will now become the leader of the opposition in Congress. And there is some good news in the results. Josh Stein defeated “Black Nazi” Mark Robinson in North Carolina. Lisa Blunt Rochester and Angela Alsobrooks won Senate seats in Delaware and Maryland. Those two Black women in the U.S. Senate will give us new soldiers in the fight.But what happens next is up to us. A lot of people are hurting right now, and many more will be hurt more in the years to come if Trump implements his policies. I recommend self-care. Do what you need to take care of yourself, and remember you are part of a broader community. We have to be there for each other in these trying times.
As I said in my final video before the election, this is not a sprint. It’s a marathon. And no matter what happens in the days to come, I am clear and certain that we are on the right side of history. Don’t give up. Live to fight another day.
Damn we follow the same people cause I came here to post this same tweet and it's currently 5 minutes after you posted it.
Follow the same people? I thought the two of you shared a brain!!
Cut the check.
Voter participation in the Caribbean is low.
Just fucking around man, gotta put some light on all this crazy shit
You the best bro
We NEED to laugh bro!!!!
We ain't gonna change no ones mind I've resolved to that fact
I had dudes dm me like Playa why you consorting with the enemy
I explained because after this result I can see their perspectives and points
But once I gave an inch these fools had to go all out ruining the whole thing
How it go from me saying the democrats made mistakes Kamala may have not been the best candidate i see the disconnect yall were right.
To yeah both sides the same in fact democrats are worse trump ain't so bad and Kamala a b*tch!
Whoa whoa whoa
It went from a vegan trying half a mcnugget to...
F**k that I'm out
If this is what Dems have to deal with?
We done.
Round em up amigos. Your time is now.
Naw bruh cause they have to find someone who can actually do the job.
These aren't "fake it til you make it" jobs.
You have to actually know what the fuck you are doing.
It has begun. Latinos are going to catch hell over the next 4 or 5 years! Legal or not!
So many of those dumb fucks voted for this treatment too!
It’s the ONLY way they’re going to learn.
Some people, like kids, I supposed will never learn if you tell them.
They have to feel those lessons on their own.
Neither will I.
Please don't misunderstand my meaning: I DID VOTE.
I voted early. Straight Dem ticket.
A Southern and Midwest thing....It is the SAME THING.
The Midwest is NOTHING MORE than UP SOUTH.
Take that literally. The people that moved here during the "great migration" from the south
were Black people who could actually get a fair wage for their work, and uneducated, poor white folks.
They simply moved their fucked up culture a few hundred miles north. No more, no less.
The only reason Illinois is an exception is because Chicago has always been a central transportation hub.
Period.
