Trump won every single county. And CNN is horrified of all these “white Christian’s.” White Christian’s bad. Evil democrats good. What a joke.

What is the left so scared of?

Do they really believe that MAGA is a bad thing?

Why do does the left try to demonize regular people?

This leftist talk about the end of “Democracy” they have educated people. We have a Republic not a Democracy that is a system of governance could not be maintained in such a large Country IMO.

The many sects and factions of the left are naturally contradicting and opposing. They will self-cannibalize without a common enemy and constant feed of fear and propaganda. In other words, they obfuscate the truth and make people afraid of everything as it puts people more psychologically in a state that's easier to control. The quote "Right" (don't necessarily believe it's left vs. right, just useful idiots vs. people who stand for truth and elite vs. common folk) acts as the anti-thesis to this as we act as a sort of "control group" over the log term effects of this insanity.

Are there any real democracies in the world? Where the majority vote of the people is final say in all things?

people are generally more liberal in denser populations

And the corollary is also true... People are generally denser in liberal populations.

How long before all of his voters are charged as an accomplice to inciting insurrection?

Why brave the weather when Trump is going to win no matter what?

It's a primary with the most popular candidate effectively already having won nomination before polling even opens.

The only people who needed to mobilize was the DeSantis and Nikki crowd. And as you can see, as much as they try they are a tiny minority in the party.

Because Trump has the branding they could only dream of. They realize that's the only threat to their agenda, and that anyone else would be easily picked apart and tossed aside. Yet with Trump, no matter what they do, their actions only serve to elevate him.

Of course they're terrified of that, their only ideological goal is power. I don't even think they take issue with his policies, they're just salty that he can mobilize the level of popularity that he does while not being controlled by them.

Yeah kinda Switzerland is about as close as it gets. The Northern European governments are close as well. The U.K. Votes on referendums that we would never do.

Many people consider the US as an oligarchy or a Monarchy they view the Executive branch and the President with to much power.

I was wondering if there were true Democracies as defined where the people have absolute rule and say on every matter, and the majority vote is final.

I doubt any exist, because it wouldn't last a full year before people figured out they could vote themselves a paycheck.

Trump lost one county. Haley won by one vote

Winning is everything and justifies the means. The losers don’t get to scream “cheater” very long before they are delt with.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Every man has his price.

 

[jamil]

Gannett? You trust Gannett? They probably were decent and worthy of trust in past elections but not now that Gannet owns it…

Would you trust them if it were favorable news?

That’s awesome. lol

 

[BugI02]

Wait. There’s a crowd?

Dude, you've got more deflections than the backstop at an indoor range

 

[BugI02]

My biggest fear is that Trump will get the nomination, but they'll figure a way to make him ineligible over the lawsuits, or there will be more states that remove him from the ballot, hamstringing his chances. I don't know, but it feels like it's about to get ugly.

Then buy more ammo

 

[Ingomike]

I believe you just answered this question very well in the last few weeks, probably better than my paraphrase of it. If the reporting runs counter to the narrative they push it likely is true, its when it runs with their narrative that is very questionable…

Bet a lot of Trumpers getting ready to go vote turned around and went back home after they heard Trump declared the winner before they closed.
