'Men are the historic oppressors', 'Masculinity is toxic', 'Men are more dangerous than bears', 'the solution to men's loneliness is that they should smile more', 'men just need to be better', 'men are trash', blah blah blah. All of this man-hating nonsense spewed by progressives has come back to bite them in the ass. As much as I despise Trump, the SJWs 100% deserved to lose this one.

I'm not telling you 'how my life is' after your first post in this thread was to copy-paste ChatGPT. However my life is, it's clearly better than yours.

This is not 'misfortune'. That's my entire point, you have zero excuses for losing to Trump. This is your own damn fault! I talked about the rhetoric-issues, and I'd argue the progressive rhetoric has the exact same issue. Kicking people when they're down. So, by your own logic, the progressives need to have a long look at themselves.

I mean, you people are no strangers to the joy of virtue-signaling. I am enjoying the turning of the tables when it comes to virtue-signaling, that's for sure.

@Buck Edwards Alright, serious talk. If your opponent is Donald Trump, you have no excuses for losing to him. This was the left's election to lose moreso than the right's election to win. Especially since you had 8 years of media-attention on the MAGA people to understand where they're coming from and what their genuine concerns are. My analysis is that you people learned nothing from the loss in the 2016 elections and you doubled down on the exact mistakes you were making in terms of rhetoric. And this is what cost you the 2024 election.

@Joshe When you call someone out, it's a 'kind gesture' but when I call someone out, it's an 'attack'?! Not fair!!

@Joshe @Consept The important issue of this thread is that Trump won. And the reason is the progressive rhetoric. You people think the rhetoric doesn't have consequences, right?! Turns out, it does.

@Consept thought it would be funny to let AI think about what I'm saying instead of himself. I explained that the joke's on him, cuz Trump won! I'm not any happier about it than you are. I'm offering an explanation, to help you understand it. Now, if you're going to troll me for doing that, the joke is on you, because Trump won.

@Consept Anyways, Trump won. So, joke's on you.

I didn't argue with the AI. I called you out for not using your brain. I actually agreed with the AI when it said that you should critically engage with the insights to make up your own mind. I called you out for not doing that!

If you were talking about professional writing, what you're saying would make sense. However, this is personal-development. It is very important to separate those ideas which are your own original ideas, from those that are second-hand ideas. You have to be a real person talking to real people, you have to think through everything yourself. AI is not human, therefore it deserves no credibility when it comes to personal development. Who is this AI to tell us what's ethical/what's high-consciousness and what's not?! Get it out of here!

This is a personal development forum. If you're not even willing to express your own opinions, it's a waste of content-space. Content generated by AI is garbage content for personal development. You need content generated by people because role-modelling is everything for personal-development.

See? The AI said it itself. So, you might want to stop with the copy-pasting and start using your own brain.

@Consept All hail the almighty ChatGPT. The fact that you couldn't be bothered to write out a reply of your own, shows that we're dangerously close to the Matrix reality. We all know that ChatGPT has-been programmed with SJW ideology. It has not come up with this shit on its own!

What?! I'm laughing about a reality that has thrown millions of people into an emotional crisis!!

I've seen leftists being able to engage in flame-wars very effectively with the right-wingers! (That's why I don't personally use X, lol. I know this cuz youtubers talk about twitter-battles in politics) I think it's always been like that, even though some may say it got worse due to Elon. He does believe in free speech, I'll give him that. This is just what happens when you allow it.

Does he have ToS in which he censors 'wokeness'? The way YouTube and Facebook censor Trump?

I didn't consider Trump as a legitimate political figure, because I agree with Leo that he is a conman. (The ha ha in the title isn't out of happiness, it's me laughing at progressives because they learned nothing from the loss in 2016) And, podcasters and YouTube channels are alt-media. The actually serious politicians and the mainstream-media have not been talking to white men at all. All they've done is demonize them. I guess this 2024 election was a W for the alt-media over the mainstream media. I personally like that, given how corrupt the mainstream media is vs the fact that alt-media is not politically funded. As someone who's seen the corruptions of the scientific-establishment first-hand, I'm more than willing to believe that journalism is even more corrupt. Well, yeah. This is not a bug, though, it's a feature. Why haven't the left been talking to white men, then?! Why hasn't their vision for a better future included white men?!

@Emerald It is the messaging that gets the votes, though. And, the messaging has always been awful from the left, ever since 2016. They only focused on getting votes from women and minorities. This is what we call 'identity-politics'. And it's a quick but long-term risky strategy to get votes. Didn't work in 2016 for Hilary. Then, Biden won not because of identity-politics, but because he's worked in politics for 50 years. Then, Kamala also relied on identity-politics. All Trump had to do was to play to his strengths on the identity-politics front. He focused on appealing to the straight white young man in the last few months of his campaign by appearing on Joe Rogan. Honestly, for decades, no political figure has been talking to this demographic. The progressives have hated on men for so long, they don't even know how to appeal to men while hiding it. Kamala had some campaign ads in which there was talk about 'I'm a man's man and I love women, I'm man enough to support a woman in office'. Lol. They cannot even talk to men without preaching masculinity. So, men took the opportunity to vote them out.

@Emerald Why didn't he win in 2020, then?! As I said, your argument would make sense in 2016. I thought the exact same thing in 2016, if I'm honest. But, after seeing that he is beatable, cuz he did lose in 2020, does it really make sense to play the victim to 'the fascists' after losing to him in 2024?!

@Emerald Look, Donald Trump won. The same Donald Trump who won in 2016, won again. After we've seen him in office for 4 years, we just couldn't get enough of him! And, we either get to bitch and moan about this and blame the 'fascists out there' or we get to take responsibility for the situation and see what part we played in this. I can understand the blame-game after 2016. But, it's been 8 years since then. Surely, 8 years have to be enough time to see how the social dynamics played out and how Trump capitalized on that, don't you think?!

Maybe identity-politics wasn't such a good idea after all, for the left. When you side with the minorities so much that you demonize the majority, the majority will vote you out!

It is really funny how the progressives alienated the straight, white, young man that they all decided that voting for Trump, of all people, was the only option to make their voices heard. You have been resisting Trump so much, that you got him for a second term! Truly, truly remarkable.

Oh, so you're okay with the fact that Trump won?! Then we've got no issue here.

By the way, shoe made this video on November 01, days before the election. Credit to her for seeing this happening. She's one of the good progressives who is actually progressing to Tier-2. The point of this thread is to remind you that Tier-2 exists on the Spiral to progress to, Stage Green isn't the end-all-be-all. And that's what you will have to do to make sense of this Trump win.
