Ok and?

At least I can say I lived through the USA's last election.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's life, Jim - but not as we know it.

How's that Echo chamber today eh VC? 😂

I did tell you he'd win easy not that I wanted him to of course.

Americans are simple folk. Simple policies that are patriotic at heart will always do well. Trump knows that tbf to him and played it well.

I really didn't know what to expect beforehand, but I feared the worst very early on when it seemed that Harris wasn't even doing as well as Biden had done.

..............

That is the problem. Trump only ran on two policies. Deportation and Tariffs.

Tariffs will not help the lower and middle classes.

This, to the American people will be a bit like Brexit was to the UK, once the full effect of what is going to happen dawns on them.

VC, where in the US do you live?

Once the first set of results for North Carolina and Georgia came in I said to the Mrs that Kamala was done. It was all brilliantly explained by Steve Kornacki on MSNBC. He was bang on with everything he said about where the votes came from.

I'm with you mate. I don't like him and see right through his BS.

He knows what America is though. The Democrats don't seem to grasp it. That's why he wins.

USA’s last election? How embarrassing mate.

You'd have to be pretty f-cking dumb to not see that possibly happening. But then this is VC who says there isn't a genocide in Palestine.

Don't think anyone saw this rout coming especially when the polls had them neck and neck before the voting started.

That is what project 2025 is all about.

VC, out of curiosity, provided it's not too personal of course, why back to Blighty, and were there ever any other options on the table?

Donald Trump is the personifaction of America:

Self interested.
Greedy.
Hates tax.
Lies and exagerrates about everything.
Over inflated sense of self and self importance.
Hates welfare for the neediest.
Bigoted.
Fat.

Why is anyone surprised that he won?

Who is meant to be the conspiracy nut again? 🤣

Just as well I did see the possibility of it happening.

The dumb part was thinking there were enough sensible people in the USA.

That doesn’t change that it is cringeworthy as hell to actually think that this is the last USA election. Get a grip man.

Whatever crimes those Maga morons did to your family, you’ve let that twist your mind into thinking really, really stupid sheet.

My Mrs is a dual citizen and hails from Scotland. We went to the Borders on vacation three years back and fell in love with the place and the way of life there. We made the decision there and then.

There is a bit more to it than that, but that is the main reason.

The only thing I will miss is the warm weather in Spring and Autumn.

Welcome to the reality of Trump.

I dunno why you’d want to move back here, we’re not that better society wise compared to where you are. Declining economy, shambolic public services, inequality at an all time high.

"The dumb part was thinking there were enough sensible people in the USA."

Which makes you a dumb f-ck which you've always been.

Also, if the Republicans had someone more likeable than Trump then it isn’t unrealistic that this election could’ve been a Reagan style wipeout for the Dems.

Which makes you a dumb f-ck which you've always been.

What an odious little man you are.

This could have just been a comment on one of the many election threads, but instead VC has to make an article about it, then also throw pointless information about his personal life 😴
