I really cant frickin beleive this…it will be an intresting analysis to see in the next few years how/why this happened. This hits me in particular because I work for the Feds and my job is one of the many Trump wants to make Schedule F (i.e. able to fire me and appoint a crony of his choosing). I just…I dont get it…Project 2025 wasint enough? J6 wasint enough? Him literally saying he will tank the economy wasint enough? ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Yes. The most populous areas are ALWAYS the last to report in. Not even remotely true. You made this mistake earlier when you were bragging about how well she was doing in Pennsylvania, when the only areas reporting in right off the bat were Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Thanks for the funny Twitter posts these last couple weeks, but I overestimated your political “savvy-ness” as much as we apparently overestimated her chances to win. ---

CNN reporting that the Harris campaign has largely gone silent, which is noted, is never a good sign. ---

Yes, they are trying to decide whether they should trot out the “we need to count all the votes” or hold off and just make a concession speech. ---

> [@Win\_Place\_Show](#): > > You made this mistake earlier when you were bragging about how well she was doing in Pennsylvania The margin in PA is currently about 10,000. I’m not prepared to concede a race where not a single battleground has yet to be called. ---

Yup, it was nonsense. Worse than the Biden+17 Wisconsin poll in 2020. Folks just didn’t want to believe just how far certain demographics have turned on Democrats and are solidly MAGA. They want their privileged spot back and they think Trump will give it to them. ---

This is so fucked. Turnout clearly sucked for Harris. What a fucking nation of misogynistic racists we are. ---

Colorado House CD8 very close and may flip to R. That would give us a 4/4 split delegation. ---

It seems that nothing Trump has said or done the last four years had any negative effect. He actually appears to be slightly more popular. ---

CA, OR, WA, for Harris. ID for Trump. ---

Correct. AZ and NV aren’t enough to offset PA - but she isn’t going to win AZ either, IMO. Or WI or MI for that matter. The amazing thing is that Trump looks like he will win all of the blue wall states by 2+% - more than he did in 2016 easily. ---
