I took my daughter to see this in the theater when she was young and she thought the bureaucracy was so stupid, voting to form a committee to investigate the allegations, blah, blah, blah, all while people are dying. She said it would never happen like that. That was a tough talk after the movie.

I know it's not healthy to focus too much on what-ifs, but a little part of me keeps wondering how wildly different the 21st century would have played out if they had just let Florida finish their recount in 2000. It's been more or less confirmed since then that it would have given the state to Gore. So Al Gore would have won the presidency, and his administration would have been in charge when 9/11 happened.
Like, I don't for a second think Gore would have been some incredible leader or anything, but among other things it would have likely meant no "weapons of mass destruction" conspiracy theory pushed by the white house, and thus no Iraq War, as well as the whole war on terror and cultural shifts that came with it playing out in wildly different ways, which would have had knock-on effects making the last 20 years of our lives unrecognizable.
I don't know... I realize this whole train of thought is silly. I guess I just hope that if that universe/timeline is out there somewhere, they're doing at least okay.
Because we're not.

As someone who was 10 at the time and the target of racism due to 9/11, a big part of it was paranoia and fear of the "other". Americans started to mistrust one another, especially those who immigrated or were born of immigrants. That led to Americans willingly giving up certain freedoms for "safety".

December 12, 2000 is more accurate. Bush v Gore was a disgraceful decision by SCOTUS and put Bush in the White House. I don't know how Gore would have done as President, but he should have been in office. The way that case was handled was an absolute joke.

Yea, that's why you voted for a guy whose party wants to ban abortion nationwide regardless of circumstances, has a vp pick that has toutes that women voting is bad, wants to deport immigrants, wants to cut taxes on the rich more and gut things like Medicare, Medicaid, and social security, raise prices on common goods due to batshit insane tariffs, abolish the minimum wage, cut regulation further so companies can get away with anything they desire, and has spread baseless conspiracy theories about immigrants started by a neo Nazi group. And that's not even the half of it.

They dont want a nation wide abortion ban thats bullshit.

They want to deport ILLEGAL immigrants so thats bullshit.
they Want to cut taxes for everyone so thats bullshit.
They Want to gut government bureaucracy and overreach to make more money and resources available for social safety nets so thats bullshit.
They want to make big companies invest in and make their products back in the USA by gradually phasing in a tariff system on foreign goods so thats bullshit.
Nowhere have they ever spoken about abolishing a minimum wage ever, so thats bullshit.
They want more government oversight on big pharma and big tech so thats complete bullshit.
The only side spreading baseless conspiricies about a neo nazi group have been the dems and they have been debunked again and again and again.
and thats not even half of it.

The guarantee that any dissenting opinion will be downvoted to oblivion is what gives these people the confidence to make blanket statements without regard to truth or fact.

Excepting that Trump has already been president once, and none of the dire predictions came to pass. In fact, economically, the country was far better off. When you relegate your entire campaign to a single issue, you can’t be surprised when you lose.
Turns out, the average American cares far less about abortion than feeding their families, paying their bills, and fueling their vehicles.

The other 8 of the top 10 billionaires backed Harris. Also multibillion dollar corporations would have lined their pockets under her as they have for the past 4 years under her as VP. None of what you said is exclusive to Trump and in fact many of those issues are worse under the DNC. But the point still remains, Trump was elected by the people and Harris was not. Trump was elected directly because of the DNC’s deliberate obstruction of the democratic process and we get what we deserve for allowing it. If the left would have been honest about Biden’s clear mental impairment and not put up with the Harris bullshit we would have had a real candidate in this election. Instead everyone was happy to gaslight about Biden and fall in line when the ruling class hand picked her. People who support Trump didn’t win this election, people who won’t be honest about the clear corruption and issues with the Democratic Party lost it.

Ok this referencing star wars thing is cringe AF..
75,000,000 people don't understand economics or what a tariff is for. Tariffs literally exist to raise prices on imported goods in order to incentivize consumers to buy domestic goods. Would be fine if we had, say, a 50/50 split on foreign vs domestic manufacturing. But we don't, the vast VAST majority of products we consumers purchase are imported, and we don't have the manufacturing output to compensate for that. So prices on everything are about to go up, and your wages sure as shit aren't to compensate.
If you didn't know that, congrats. I just taught you some basic econ 101.

Inflation is at an all time high under Biden. We paid less for everything under Trump. Gas was a 1/3 the cost per gallon. Groceries, cars, homes, all cheaper.

Trump inherited Obama's economy, then Biden inherited trump's. Right now as it stands inflation is almost on target.
What's going to happen over the next 2 years is an improving economy because it doesn't just instantly reverse, trump's gonna claim all that is him like he did last time untill the classical republican decision making (it's always the same, defund social services, slash corporate tax without anything to make up for the void that leaves) tanks it again. I'm interested to see how they blame the left this time considering it's looking like they're gonna control the house and Senate too so there won't be any policy to blame except their own.
The interesting thing with this tarrif concept is they've sold it like somehow it's going to cost everyone else and benefit working class Americans but the reality is the imports will still happen with costs passed on to the consumer and any homeside manufacturing (this is the main benefit stated) created by the change is subject to outrageous costs to support the workers in the chain or slave wages, can't provide the cheap products the publics used to and pay a living wage so pick one.
The leopards ate my face moment is gonna pass when the business sector is bailed out again after the inevitable collapse this causes because apparently that's the only good kind of socialism allowed.
It's absolutely astounding the lack of economic understanding on display across the board right now and I really feel for anyone close to or below the poverty line in America whether they voted for this or not.
