That was always the worry they'd flee their woke states and spread their wokeness into others. This didn't happen but surprisingly it's looking like the woke states they fled are turning more red (5-10% increase) even heartland Democrat states like Cali and New York are ripining to Red!

I see some Australians in the street happy trump has won and I think they are overestimating the importance of US elections, particularly a bloke who;s bark was a lot worse than his bite the first time he was in. Any problems we have with inflation, costs, youth crime, loss of personal rights and freedoms etc arent going to be magically waved away by another countires president. These problems need to be solved here at home.

This fervour of following the yank election says a couple of things to me. 1. domestic problems are a lot worse now than people want to admit and 2. we still have the good old Aussie laid back hope someone else is going to take care of said problems for us.

One of Trump's first comments during his victory speech was "we've got lots and lots of oil"

I recall that Biden cut production, I also recall that rising fuel costs made pretty much everything more expensive. (yes war in Ukraine didn't help with fuel costs)

My prediction
Trump will push for maximum oil production, he may even allow Russian oil to flow again, we'll see a steady decline in fuel prices followed by a reduction in transport costs and so on.

Its 70's energy crisis history repeated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1970s_energy_crisis

Energy, especially in this world, decides prices.

Europe has gone full retard and take a look at Germany for instance, they've killed their wonderful industrial economy with destroying their nuclear and coal plants and are now in serious trouble.

Trump knows that to lower prices for Americans across the board, he's going to push for opening up the energy markets. Clean coal, nuclear, natural gas, oil are all going to get pushed hard.

I've been watching some videos put out by Trump on what he's going to do and we've seen nothing like it in our lifetimes.

Can someone fill me in please. Was it 51 per cent trump , or did he win by a greater margin?

It's not really about percentages it more about the Electoral college for the POTUS race, then you want to pick up the Senate and House (congress) to pass any meaningful legislation. The Popular vote is irrelevant although is a good litmus test to overall popularity.

Trump is likely to hit a home run on everything hence the title of the thread.
-Electoral College 226 to 301 (He'll pick up the final 11 in AZ once called) so 312 total.
-Trump won the pupular Vote - 74million to 70million.
-Won all the 7 swing states (PA, NC, GA, NV, MI, WI will win AZ), flipping all except NC which was already Red.
-Won the Senate majority
-Will likely win the House majority.

In other words it is considered a big win.

Republicans have not won the popular vote since the 1980s with bush sr.

Winning the popular vote, the electoral college and all the swing states not to mention the house and senate is Americas version of a peoples mandate.

Whats crazy is Biden got 10 million more votes in 2020 than Kamala got this time. So these 10 million people have left the democrat party? Not to mention democrats spent 1 billion dollars in this campaign. And they still lost. Haha

MAGA is home!

Incorrect George Bush won the popular vote in 2004.

A pretty good article here on some areas that made a difference.

If Trump performs well, the democrats are probably on their hind foot for the next 10 years as there are some possibilities for Republicans to make gains in states like New Jersey, Maine, New York, Minnesota, California, New Mexico, Virginia. I think you will continue to see gains as Republicans have learned how to get pro active and register and connect with voters.

Thermal coal comes is various grades of moisture and ash content. You can certainly mandate what is allowed to extracted. Secondly as the new Generation of HELE coal power plants come on line around the world replacing decades old technoloy they offer significant improvements along with combined cycle setups.

Just like Jaoan after fukishima.

Well if Trump makes it happen , good on him. Australia hasn't built a new baseload plant in years.

Trump has already discussed with Zelensky and Musk about a peace proposal. The Russians aren't going to agree to all of it but its a starting point.

[mchughcb]

The great thing is he isn't sitting on his hands on a honeymoon period. He's getting on with the business. The first time he was getting his feet while continually being impeached, investigated, smeared, spied on. Now he knows what he wants and he's got 4 years to get steer the ship back on course. I'd start sacking as many of the swamp creatures in the security services and HLS. He knows who they are because for the last 4 years they've been on senate inquiries claiming Biden policies were great and they were implementing them.

[bigrich]

From the last 2 posts it sounds like good news all round

[mchughcb]

Watching the news this morning. Nobody is talking about Harris. I wouldn't be surprised by next month people are forgetting her name. The Liberals are crying about Trump in power. For them it was never about who was best to run the country it was all about TDS. If they had to put up a hamster they would of. I have never seen so many people triggered by a single person in my lifetime. It tells me there has been mass psychosis of the people by the MSM for the best part of 8 years. If Trump continues to lead by economic example maybe they will snap out of it or they will be in for another 12 years of psychosis if JD Vance can keep the ship steady and not start another forever war.

[alexjones]

Good to see large amounts of black and latino men voting for Trump in record numbers.

The democrat policy is so feminine and anti masculinity that it is little wonder men are turning away from the party in droves. Based on the numbers the democrat party is becoming the party of non married women and effeminate men.

Kamala wanted the tax payer to pay for sex changes of illegal immigrants. The democrats want men to use women's toilets and play in women's sports. Democrats need to read the room. The so called common people outside of the elite echo chambers do not want this stuff.

They want a good economy, border protection and tough on crime polices. Similar issues that are going on in QLD which is why labor got the boot.

[alexjones]

Few good clips of Trump saying he is going to make it law that there is only men and women and you can't change what you were born as.

This lefty nonsense of gender being fluid and making up new terms etc etc is why Trump won. Trump actually has common sense.

Now it reads LGBTIQA+
I find the acronym quite offensive as they haven't included the letter H for heterosexual.

Can't we all just be people and keep the freak show s**t for the bedroom?

I'm really enjoying watching the lefts s**t eating grins on TV, they are struggling to come to terms with discovering they are in the minority group.
I saw a TV show called "planet America " it took all of 10 seconds of viewing to realise they were yet another bunch of leftards trying to brainwash their viewers with anti Trumpism... anyhow I tuned in again last night, the look on their faces is priceless

Do you want some tomato sauce with that s**t fellas?

Good joke mate. Your a funny bugger.

If we had sunk one-percent of the money we poured into finding alternative sources that don't work into coal energy we would've achieved clean coal decades ago.

[mickb]

.

Since Covid its basically been open slather for the big boys. Vast bunches of fair trading/anti monopolising laws ignored, money being printed and its why the whole upper echelon of finance has doubled their net worth, and we are paying twice as much to live .

If trump is going to reverse that, well I'll be the first to clap and cheer, but Im not holding my breath. For the record he was part of the covid debacle as well and has also doubled his net worth since it all started...

Yes, various grades and im sure improvements have been made. But in the end, it's still far from clean.

[alexjones]

Just like guns and self defence Australians for the most part hate nuclear power. Blows my mind why. Nuclear is the way to go.

[stihl88]

Well it's official, Trump won a whopping 312 to 226 electoral college votes!!! Successfully taking all 7 swing states now AZ has been called.
Now we await the final call on the House votes, it's expected he'll meet the 218 needed to win (currently sitting at 213).

If so, he'll have gutted the Democrat party as we know it.

Absolutely. We have the steel, the resources, the best technology and engineers, and the best tradespeople in the world. Anyone thinking that this isn't the complete answer for all the electricity we will ever need using existing transmission lines needs educating. Unfortunately commenting online without the slightest knowledge of the subject hurts us all.

Explain clean coal... do you know what that even is?

It's the moronic description for a low-CO2 emissions power station. The last one we built at Kogan Creek near Chinchilla is one of these.
The only reason coal is being phased out is the lying, criminal powers-that-be are licking the boots of the elites that have all of the low-IQ plebs convinced that they are right, and the world is going to end.
You can research the figure of the tons/CO2/MW garbage for yourself.

For all those who haven't worked it out yet, or still believe in Santa and the Tooth Fairy, that's why the rabid opposition to Nuclear, with its 80-100 year huge baseload power rather than break the people with 15 years from a Chinese 10,000 acre solar farm that only works 6hrs a day or burning windmill that turns 30% of its life, zero emissions (the solution, right?), with no need to destroy 10's of thousands of acres of forests, farms and towns.

But we just keep voting in the activist scum that tell you all BS.

[on_one_wheel]

Vested interests.
I'd bet my boots that there's a good handful of politicians who hold or have others holding on their behalf"clean energy" stocks.

It was interesting to hear Dick Smith talk about net zero, solar and wind on the radio the other morning. He certainly isn't impressed.

Fast forward to the 39 minute mark to hear Dick Smith talk. His views are interesting for someone who famously sailed into Sydney Harbour on an iceberg.
