Unfortunately the difference you’re pointing out is sometimes used by election deniers with sour grapes, that’s why you’re getting downvoted.

politics @lemmy.world•Fox ponders 'disturbing evidence' Trump officials in on 'conspiracy'
12·1 day ago“Was there a conspiracy to flout the chip export laws?” wondered Fox Business host Stuart Varney. “Was Lutnick involved?”
“First of all, we know that Jeffrey Kessler, Under Secretary of Commerce, killed a Commerce Department investigation into Nvidia’s disturbing relationship with Megaspeed, the company of which Alice Huang, the suspected spy, was an executive,” Chang explained. “Also, we know that Commerce was issuing export permits for chip sales to companies that were obviously fronts. So I think that the Commerce Secretary has a lot to answer for when he goes to Congress, because people should be asking him about that: why would they kill that investigation?”

politics @lemmy.world•‘Gotta be kidding me’: Pentagon official reveals Hegseth’s criteria for senior promotions
62·5 days agothe results of internet searches were used by Hegseth’s office to withhold promotions from women and people of color. He was granted anonymity for fear of retaliation.
The senior official also described how Hegseth intentionally scuttled the promotions of senior officers who were perceived to support diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives; played a role in implementing the Pentagon’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate; were involved in the evacuation from Afghanistan; or had a connection to former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark A. Milley, who served as President Donald Trump’s senior military officer but after retirement publicly criticized Trump’s leadership.

politics @lemmy.world•Deportation policy ‘might have been too tough’, says Trump, as Miller starts chief-of-staff role – US politics live
8·6 days agoTrump was asked by the 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat whether his deportation policy had gone too far. “I think it was too tough,” he said. “I think it might be too tough, yeah. And a lot of people would say that it’s great. But a lot of people think it’s too tough.”
The president claimed that his policy “both helped and hurt”, since people gave him an “A+ for closing up the border” and “very high marks for getting the bad ones out”. But he admitted: “I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally.”

politics @lemmy.world•Democrats finally decided to take rural America seriously – and won big | Anthony Flaccavento and Erica Etelson
7·9 days agoThe campaign platforms of winning (or leading) candidates in red and purple states demonstrate a clear pattern: concrete economic issues of working and rural people were central.
In Kansas, Adam Hamilton’s “prairie populism” railed against the crushing costs of farming inputs, something Iowa’s Josh Turek also stressed. In Mississippi, Scott Colom emphasized the loss of labor and delivery departments in rural communities. Texas’s Gina Hinojosa and James Talarico both spoke out for rural schools against defunding and voucher programs. Keisha Lance Bottoms spoke openly about the rural-urban divide and her own roots in the Georgia countryside.
In South Carolina, Annie Andrews focused on kitchen table economics, rural healthcare and farmland preservation.

The next Republican leader needs to either 1) get the exact same maga vote from 2016/2024 or 2) appeal to enough of Maga and enough of center. Neither are gonna work but that’s what they have to try. I’m guessing they’ll try number 2 so that means the best course of action is to simply not piss off Maga.
