regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

This is a huge blow for any Marxian theory of political economy btw
intense anti-incumbency backlash to inflation has been a global story for all the 2024 elections but you can't really see big electoral dividends from US outperformance on GDP/ investment/ employment/ wages

It's also like, easily one of the most common stories around the world right now
The overall story, so far: Nothing here looks like a story of various campaign decisions or a VP choice or big set piece speeches. It's an electorate mad at the incumbent WH's record and expressing it pretty uniformly everywhere, blue and red states alike.

This is worse than 2016 because people have lived through this shit for a decade and decided fuck it, Arby's being $5 is all that matters. This is an evil fucking country man and it doesn't even deserve the small cushion a Dem house might provide

Trump’s first win felt like an aberration, like America was just in a petulant mood. This feels a lot darker. I don’t know if we come back from this one

The issue of a red mirage is, the finished counties are still showing rightward shifts.

"Dems held onto their 2016/2020 gains with white suburbanites, but bleed out with white and non-white working class voters simultaneously because of inflation" is one of the bad outcomes I was really, really hoping we'd manage to avoid.
