President-elect Donald Trump officially flipped Lake County, California, one month after the November 5 election. Trump's electoral win in Lake County is the latest indication of the landslide victory he enjoyed in the 2024 cycle. Trump became the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote in two decades, even sweeping all seven swing states. The last candidate to win all battlegrounds was former President Ronald Reagan in 1984. 'It could actually be the beginnings of a Reagan-style political realignment if the Democrats don't make adjustments and do so in a hurry.'Trump also flipped over 50 counties this cycle while Vice President Kamala Harris failed to flip any in her favor. Of those counties that flipped in Trump's favor, roughly half of them had not voted for a Republican presidential candidate this century. Trump also managed to shift every single state toward Republicans. Roughly 300 counties shifted more Democratic, without any actually flipping blue, while over 2,600 shifted more Republican."The data suggests that this was more than simply a decisive victory for Donald Trump," Len Foxwell, a Democratic strategist based in Maryland, told Blaze News. "It could actually be the beginnings of a Reagan-style political realignment if the Democrats don't make adjustments and do so in a hurry." One of Trump's most notable flips was South Texas' Starr County, a predominantly Hispanic border county. This ended one of the longest Democratic voting streaks in history, with the county voting for a Democrat in every presidential election since 1896. Trump also made inroads with Latinos in Florida, enjoying a double-digit swing in Miami-Dade County compared to his results in 2020. Democratic support slipped across every demographic the party has historically held onto. Even with a black female candidate and a white working-class running mate, voters turned to Trump. "We are losing, in front of our very eyes, some of the core elements of the Democratic coalition that we have held onto, to varying degrees, since the age of Roosevelt," Foxwell told Blaze News. "We have become a party of inner suburban wine clubs and book clubs. A relatively small, culturally homogeneous group of inner suburban, highly educated, relatively affluent liberals and progressives.""That, to be sure, is a part of a strong Democratic coalition, but it cannot be the only part," Foxwell continued. "It cannot and it must not be the centerpiece around which we base our national political strategy, and I'm afraid that's what we're at risk of becoming."Foxwell points out that the downfall of the Democratic Party is largely because it demands a highly stringent form of political and social orthodoxy from its voters that has become incompatible with many moderates. Although Democrats have championed diversity of identity, the party has remained intellectually homogeneous, which is exclusionary by nature. "Democrats used to be the party of disruption, debate, and change, and now we have become a more intellectually homogeneous party in which we are not necessarily supposed to look alike, but we are certainly expected to think alike," Foxwell said. "When that happens, you become intellectually stagnant, and I honestly believe that this is one of the major reasons why the Democratic Party is losing its natural advantages." Like Blaze News?

There are a lot of parallels to draw between Blizzard's Overwatch and Netease's upcoming hero shooter, Marvel Rivals. You play as a cast of dynamic heroes and villains and battle it out across varied, cartoony locales, all while snatching up the latest skins and ticking off daily challenges. Former Blizzard boss Mike Ybarra has criticized Marvel Rivals in a new post on X, suggesting the game is a "copy" of Overwatch. Specifically, he takes aim at the newly announced Black Widow, who he compares to Talon's blue-skinned beauty, Widowmaker. Cue that Spider-Man meme.

With a price of $500 / £430, you’d be right to expect the MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi to look great, offer an abundance of high-end features, and generally leave you with little reason to lust after an upgrade until it no longer offers support for the latest processors. It’s the company’s most expensive MPG Carbon WiFi motherboard yet, and it certainly offers plenty of headline features, including Wi-Fi 7, USB 4, PCIe 5.0 SSD and GPU support, and a handsome appearance. There’s a lot going on here in terms of what’s been crammed onto the PCB and, of course, there are the added benefits of the MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi using AMD’s best gaming motherboard chipset, X870E, rather than just the plain old X870 chipset. This gives advantages in terms of the number of high-speed USB ports and PCIe lanes available, meaning you’re less likely to need to watch out for SSDs stealing PCIe lanes from your graphics card, for example. As well as kitting out this board with cutting-edge features, MSI has also given its EFI a makeover with a new HD interface and redesigned layout, and it certainly hasn’t cut back on other features either. You get plenty of overclocking and testing tools, and even thermal probe inputs that can feed into your fan speeds, which is useful for cooling specific areas of your PC, as well as with custom water cooling.

Master & Dynamic is bringing back a pair of wired earbuds it first introduced in 2015. | Image: Master & Dynamic Master & Dynamic has announced an updated version of its ME05 wired earphones. First introduced in 2015, the ME05 were eventually discontinued in early 2022 but the company is reintroducing them with familiar design elements including “precision-machined brass acoustic enclosures” while updating other components to improve their performance. Like the originals, the new ME05 are $199 and are available now through Master & Dynamic’s website, and coming to Amazon “this winter.” Upgrades made to the new version of the ME05 include “custom high-excursion 8mm bio-cellulose drivers” and a better microphone with “with proprietary wind reduction” to improve the quality of your voice during calls, even while outside. Image: Master & Dynamic An included USB-C to 3.5mm adapter serves as a digital to audio converter. The new ME05 also offer improved compatibility, says Master & Dynamic, with the inclusion of a 3.5mm to USB-C adapter featuring a built-in digital to analog converter that supports hi-res audio up to 32-bit/384kHz resolutions. For comparison, Tidal’s hi-res streaming audio maxes out at 24-bit / 192 kHz. Image: Master & Dynamic The new version of the ME05 come in four different color options. The earphones come with foam ear tips in two sizes and silicone tips in five different sizes, and are available in four color options including gold and black, gunmetal and black, palladium and black, and palladium and white. Although Master & Dynamic has focused on premium wireless headphone offerings in recent years (amongst other headphone makers), wired headphones, including Apple’s iconic tethered EarPods, still remain popular. But while Apple still sells wired earphones for $19, Master & Dynamic’s revived ME05 are priced more in line with wired offerings from companies like Shure and Sennheiser that are targeted at audiophiles or musicians.
