When did you know Trump won?

When he gave his early morning speech. Even then I was worried I'd wake up the next day to some colossal scam

After 1 week of early voting

With absolute certainty after the first debate

When Bongino called it.

Not when he won your heart silly. Talking about the actual election on that blessed and historic day, on that day when did you feel it. Or maybe on or after that day would better fit.

I didn't KNOW until they called Pennsylvania and Georgia, and pushed him there.

When did I have the feeling he could win (if allowed)? When I saw Top Gun: Maverick, loved it, and saw it was a box office phenomenon at the time.

Seriously- the summation of the plot could be called "Make America Great Again". Completely nostalgic about a time when America WAS great, and Cruise comes in and says hey, I can still be great.
And everyone loved it. You could tell right then, we were ready for the message Trump's pushing.

Meanwhile, all the DEI and unity messages being pushed by "popular franchises" were either flopping, or being met with heavy resistance.

It may sound simple, but sometimes the answer is simple. You can read a culture by it's entertainment, what it wants.

Wednesday morning around 10am when we finally got a signal while elk hunting. Prior to that, we hadn’t had cell service since Tuesday around noon so we had no idea what was going on. When my brother got the text that he had won, there were 5 guys fist pumping the air on the side of a mountain in Montana.

On MSNBC they were at Harris’ black spring break and the anchor said “this crowd was hoping for better news” before they even called PA MI or WI and I knew he was going to win at that point

The headline grabbing polling data wasn’t making any sense when compared to what was underneath. “On this day in 2020 Biden was this far ahead….” Type of stuff. Those numbers closed dramatically.

A NY state poll in mid September really jumped out. Biden was up by 18 in 2020 and Harris was only upon the same day by about 8. Beneath that was a huge shift towards Trump by Hispanics, blacks, Jews, etc. The headlines that were being kicked around about it being close were trash.

It was a matter of people showing up to vote. By mid October I was 98% certain it was a done deal. When the very first in depth exit polls were reported on Election Day I told my wife it was over and it won’t be close. I think it was a fox exit poll where they talked about how over 70% of people were dissatisfied or angry about the economy. It was just a matter of time before it was officially called.
