THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA ARE IN CHARGE NYT! WE ARE SICK OF YOU MAINSTREAM MEDIA DICTATING WHAT WE HEAR MAKING UP LIES EVERY DAY EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!JOURNALISM IS DEAD WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO ARE PAID TO LIE MAKE UP STUFF TO BRAINWASH US! AMERICA HAS SPOKEN AND WE CANNOT STAND YOU NYT AND THE REST OF THE ANTI AMERICAN NEWS STATIONS! ITS NOT JOURNALISM IT IS PAID ACTIVISM BIASED REPORTING PROTECTING THE LEFT AND DEMONIZING THE RIGHT. THAT IS NOT DEMOCRACY! THAT IS TACTICS OF THIRD WORLD COUNTRY’S WHO DICTATE COUNTRIES UNFAIRLY.
The reason things shifted is REALITY. The truth always wins. Democrats think men can be women, and women can be men. It’s not true, and Americans don’t want to live in a country where their leaders believe fundamental untruths.

As an European with a degree and a PhD, I deem Trump the worst disgrace for US and the West. But I feel pity for stupid woke heralds who could not see it coming, now ranting about the reasons, and the people who voted for this convicted criminal. I understand that Trump voters may have had if not some good reasons to vote Trump, some good reasons not to vote Harris and her bunch of ultra-sensitive minorance supporters. (which minorances?) any minorance you may think of, any bizarre variation of human behaviour, you pick it up, identify as xyz and there you are …. oppressed and whining. Thank yourself for this disaster. Oh I did not read a line a line on fanny Willis and how wrecked a whole Trump trial, a dangerous one for him by sleeping around. Ah no sorry, she is black, she cannot be accused of something. She was actually picked because she is black, even if she was not qualified. Thank yourself for this disaster … and please do not forget about being inclusive with anti-specist LGBTQA C++ % and pro-pal gay activists, and and native women who are detransitioners but also have PDA, and some other blue haired obese woman pretending it’s just normal.
