It was probably just a loud minority, or cope. Even if you're someone who absolutely hates Harris, it's hard to argue against the idea that she had a much better chance of beating Trump than a half-dead Biden. Yet most people on this site weren't convinced she was going to win by the end, so this doesn't suggest they would've said the same about Biden in early 2024 when he was doing worse by pretty much every metric. I'm sure if there'd been a poll of the average user on this site, they wouldn't have said Biden was the favorite. I think there's more evidence that the archetypical Trump-only voter is more of a Trump-D/L downballot voter. Lake lost because something like 100k Trump voters also voted for Gallego. If there was a massive contingency of people who went Trump-blank, she'd have won given she outperformed Harris. There are states like Texas where 150k Trump voters voted for the Democrat in the Senate race. Trump was generally perceived as the more moderate option this time around, and his campaign was heavily built around how great it is that a bunch of Democrats now support him (Musk, RFK, Tulsi, so on). As far as Republicans go, Trump comes across as pretty liberal (he is basically an atheist, he clearly has no strong feeling on gay rights and abortion, and he put a PRO Act supporter in his cabinet). This is basically the sentiment you have in your post already, but as I said after the election, Trump is absolutely the high point of the "Cool GOP", because he's a wacky guy and not your average stodgy social conservative. Can you imagine, I dunno, Glenn Youngkin being feted like a king at UFC matches and athletes doing a celebratory Glenn Youngkin dance? Not gonna happen.

Here's Redford from this September. I don't think he's declined much for 88. Probably more on the radar for the 2027 DeathList.

Jim Abrahams, co-writer/director of Airplane and Naked Gun, dead at 80.

Joel Grey seems very healthy for a 92-year-old, I wouldn't call him frail at all. He still walks without a cane and just wrote a long NYT op-ed a few days ago. I think he'll probably make his mid-90s. (He's still pretty active. Maybe someone could make him a thread?) I agree with everyone's suggestions for Tippi Hedren and Eva Marie Saint, obviously. I'm 50/50 on Valli. He looks horrible onstage, but he seems pretty physically fit otherwise. Given he has tour dates planned well into 2025, I wouldn't be opposed to waiting a year. I see everyone mentioning John Williams. Agreeable enough, but can I suggest Lalo Schifrin, too? He hasn't appeared in public in 5+ years, and he was in a wheelchair then. There are a few film score forum threads out there that suggest he's not in great health. Wild cards: James Baker, maybe? He hasn't been as active since his injury, and he'll be 95. Granted, SoS clearly has life-enhancing powers. Given the committee loves geriatric TV, also worth noting that Max Baer Jr. has returned autographs with an "unable to sign at this stage in his life" message as of 2023. Also, I suggested Louis Gossett Jr., Dabney Coleman, M. Emmet Walsh, and Joe Don Baker for 2024. Thus, they should add Joe Don Baker.

Premature? The source is a facebook post writing about his "impending passing" and that "Andy is leaving us". The only tweets from today are about how he is in hospice. I mean, I'm sure he's probably 99% dead, but better safe than sorry.

What are you talking about? The "who will win" poll on here had Trump in the lead, and it would have been far greater if Trump had faced Biden. And most of those votes weren't cast by Trump supporters, so even if you think this site is a bubble, it's not similar to r/politics at all. I mean, I think Trump sucks, but I backed your earlier argument in this very thread. Also, facepalmed to oblivion? That seems a bit dramatic considering you only got, like, three across three posts. Trump didn't carry a single governor's race. None of them would have flipped, even if he ran the worst campaign of all time. (If anything, that would have only helped the GOP in NH given they love to split tickets.) And the MAGA movement definitely bears some of the blame for the Nude Africa trainwreck in North Carolina. He's also not on track to significantly expand the dysfunctional House majority, particularly given the two anti-Trump GOP representatives (Newhouse/Valadao) held on. If you were told how much he'd destroy Harris beforehand, you definitely wouldn't have also guessed he'd be in a place where he could feasibly lose a small amount of seats. I would've figured he'd crush it there, but instead it'll probably just be a mild nuisance to him and flip in 2026. Trump's coattails have always been pretty middling, though, so I guess it's not that much of a surprise.

Tony Todd dead at 69.

I'll also replace Godley with Gormley.

It was seemingly just to change "died in hospital" to "died in a hospice". I updated the link in my post anyway, even though there are obits everywhere now.

She's been an NBC correspondent since 1978 and has 2M Twitter followers. She's definitely very well-known, but she never really hit "celebrity" status because she never anchored her own show until 2008, when she was well past her prime. Other than that, well, she's not gonna die any time soon, obviously.
