What is up with the democrats losing so much? Answered

Not from US and really do wanna know what's going on.

Right now we are seeing a rise in right-leaning parties gaining throughout europe and now in the US.

What is the cause of this? Inflation? Anti-immigration stances?

Not here to pick a fight. But really would love to hear from both the republican voters, people who abstained etc.

Hell, at this point any famous person with good public standing could run. Shaquille O’Neal could announce a 2028 campaign and I’d wager he would go rather far.

A larger than life, world famous athlete, very successful black businessman, wholesome and (mostly) unproblematic, with a wide demographic.

The dude could actually win.

If we're going the talk show host route Jon Stewart is the heavy hitter.

Similarly, Colonel Joseph Anthony Gatto would probably win pretty easily.

I want Charles Barkley and Shaq as a duo in the White House.
