For more Dewey-Truman lore:
Thomas Dewey was one of the forerunners of the RINOs. He was the governor of New York and the leader of the liberal side of the Republican Party, opposed to Ohio Senator Bob Taft's conservatives. Him losing gave the conservatives more traction and probably secured their place long enough to run Goldwater 16 years later. If Dewey had won, Taft's faction may have been suppressed by the Rockefeller Republicans permanently.
Generally, the factions leaders followed this pattern:
Conservatives/Populists: Bob Taft>Goldwater>Reagan>(nobody, H.W. rode Reagan's coattails and basically subdued the conservatives until 2010)>Tea Party hodgepodge>Trump
This was it. This was the last play in their playbook with Trump on the goal line and it failed for the Left. He was infected with COVID and beat it’s ass and their narrative into the ground. They’re FUCKED.
It’s now more important than ever that Trump stays as safe as possible from radicals that have tried everything to put a stop to him.
Before the election of 2016, I firmly believed Hillary would "win" the election no matter what. I thought the Democrats and the Media would steal it for her, even if the nation voted for Trump.
The one ray of hope that I had came from the near-universal endorsement by the mainstream media of candidate Clinton. I knew the last time that had happened was in 1948 when all the media called the election in advance for Tom Dewey. I secretly hoped that the modern media had grown forgetful of history and that they were repeating the same mistake their grandfathers made when they told the public who the winner was before the voting took place.
I couldn't quite believe it when history repeated itself and the proclaimed loser won the election in a walk. Until it happened, I thought our system was too corrupt to allow an outsider to win.
Historical meme!
The one time I really need a context link it's not there. Help?
spez: thanks y'all, looks like mods also added the context

Someone went deep for this one. 1940s spice
I genuinely believe he's the greatest man of our day and age. Everything he's accomplished and overcame in life and in politics blows my mind
His legacy in just 4 years is worthy of roosevelt (not the virgin fdr the chad roosevelt)
How come only (R)'s got the Corona recently? No (D)'s????
Fuck all of the roosevelts.
Even Teddy?
In what ways? Not disputing you, just curious.
He extended the government yes, but he used it to do good, he didn’t think someone horrible would follow in his footsteps.
I don’t think he realized his mistake until Woodrow Wilson took over.
Yes.
Shouldn't that be Trump Defeats Virus, or am I missing a joke here?
Edit: thanks for all the insights. Wasnt aware, makes sense. To the person that downvoted me for this. Man... get a life.
It's a meme from this event https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewey_Defeats_Truman
and if we lived back then, probably in 2016 we would have had 'Hillary defeats Trump' headlines everywhere too.
Newsweek did. Trump signed a copy of it right over her ugly face. https://s3.amazonaws.com/content.washingtonexaminer.biz/web-producers/060817York-TrumpAutographedCover.jpg
Its a play on the Dewey wins headline of the 1948 election.
The original photo is Harry Truman holding up a newspaper that says "Dewey defeats Truman". Dewey did not defeat Truman.

So why did the headline say that? Was the media playing fucking games on purpose back then too? Well I never
They printed early because "experts" and "polls".
Haha really ! Lol
KEK
All these years later the press is still trying to create the news instead of just reporting it.
Waaaaambulance!
Fastest covid recovery ever. Suck it China

Pray for Trump
We might see a picture even closer to the original come election.
