Australians losing their teeny-tiny minds are almost all low information dimwits who’ve swallowed the BS the media has fed them
It has been entertaining watching the hysterics of the Left emoting wildly about Donald Trump’s astonishing win. When you ask them why they hate Trump, it becomes apparent very quickly that they are clueless.

In the end it was a landslide.
President-elect Donald Trump has delivered a rare red wave, winning the presidency, the Senate, the popular vote and he is likely to deliver the House as well for the Republicans.
His mandate is undeniable.
Trump won every single swing state.
Even I did not see that one coming and I live and breathe US politics.
Not for the first time the pollsters and pundits got it terribly wrong.
They’ll continue to get it wrong because, like the overwhelming majority of the mainstream media, they exist in an echo chamber that appears incapable of understanding the Trump phenomenon.
Americans decided they cared more about economic prosperity, border security and world peace than unfettered access to late-term abortion and tampons in boys’ bathrooms.
As I wrote two weeks ago, a big majority of Americans, including independent voters, no longer trust or believe the mainstream media’s twisted characterisation of Trump.
Voters prioritised their family’s interests over the Democrats’ endless culture wars and reckless policies from soft on crime legislation to the open border madness that has seen more than 10 million people cross the southern border illegally under the Biden/Harris administration. Americans decided to go back to Trump and to unburden themselves from what has been, as Kamala Harris would say.
We were told abortion was the key issue and that women would overwhelmingly back Harris but in the end more women voted for Trump than men voted for Harris.
Indeed, the majority of all married men, unmarried men and married women backed Trump while the majority of unmarried women backed Harris, according to NBC exit polls.
Trump had the backing of real women’s rights campaigners from Ayaan Hirsi Ali to Kellie-Jay Keen to Megyn Kelly who gave Trump a powerful endorsement in the final hours before the election.
Far from having a women problem, Trump had merely an unmarried women problem or as JD Vance famously called it, a “childless cat lady” problem.
As one pundit sagely put it before the election, “the Democrats have become the party of miserable women and weak men”.
Ultimately, it didn’t matter how many celebrities like Taylor Swift identified as childless cat ladies to endorse Kamala.
One can argue the celebrity endorsements did more harm than good, though the Harris campaign did effectively use the likes of Beyonce, Eminem and Bruce Springsteen to get crowds to her rallies.
But the deranged ramblings of celebs such as Robert De Niro, Cardi B and Oprah Winfrey were largely ineffective in boosting the Democrats’ vote.
When you’re struggling to afford your mortgage payments, the last thing you care about is what Jennifer Lopez has to say about democracy.
Sane people do not like being lectured to by rich celebrities who are oblivious to the concerns of everyday Americans.
In contrast, Trump had the endorsement of former Democrat donors Elon Musk and podcaster Joe Rogan; both are among millions of men who have been red-pilled in recent years and have changed from Democrat to independent or Republican.
The political realignment also sees Republicans winning the majority of households with incomes up to $100,000 while the Democrats won the majority of affluent voters.
Trump has assembled a formidable team with broad appeal.
He not only has the world’s richest man and bona fide genius Musk but former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F Kennedy Jnr and Vivek Ramaswamy, who are all likely to play a role in Trump’s administration.
Add future Vice President Vance and it’s an impressive core group.
Meanwhile, the Democrats were boasting about having the support of the irredeemable RINO (Republican in name only) Liz Cheney, who is loathed by the average Republican more than any Democrat including Harris.
The future is bright for the Republicans who are blessed with future presidential candidate options including Vance, Ramaswamy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Ron DeSantis.
It has been entertaining watching the hysterics of the Left emoting wildly about President-elect Trump’s astonishing win.

Trump risked everything to run again.
They came for his family, they came for his allies, they used lawfare to try and bankrupt him and imprison him on sham charges.
The Democrats outspent him by a huge margin, and he had the overwhelming majority of the media against him, relentlessly running negative stories and deliberately misrepresenting him. He was called a threat to democracy, a fascist, a modern-day Hitler, a wannabe dictator and worse.
He withstood it all to win and win big.
It’s the greatest win in modern political history.
