In reply to the discussion: Tomasky: Why Does No One Understand the Real Reason Trump Won? [View all]TwilightZone
(28,833 posts)There are myriad reasons why Trump won - and why Harris lost. Some of them aren't even the same reasons.
I think people who write articles like this like to believe that they know something no one else does. The funny thing is that, despite the 300+ recs, the author couldn't be more wrong. Everyone knows who and what Trump is. Some care and some don't. That's been the case for nearly a decade now. Some know and other issues are more important to them, like a conservative agenda.
Asserting that there can only be one is also intentionally ignorant and dooms us to repeat 2024.
The single biggest mistake made this cycle might have been focusing too much on Trump and not enough on the issues. But again, that's just one of many, and the hyper-Trump-obsessed might never come to that realization.
