Based on my conversations with trump voters that’s exactly what happened. He’s an asshole and a circus leader but life was less expensive under him. Regardless of who’s responsible for the insane cost of living increase.

More like they didn’t want another four years of biden/Harris.

All but one trump voter I know held their nose to vote for him. And the one who didn’t is a cultist.

I agree with you, but it doesn’t matter. Most people are intellectually lazy. If you’re of average intelligence, half the population is dumber than you. Nearly half of America struggles to read at a sixth grade level… how are they supposed to use reason and logic against emotional manipulation when they’re barely literate? All by design of course. Keep the population dumb and desperate and they’ll accept whoever promises to save them. It’s not that people are inherently dumb, perhaps some are, but knowledge is a skill that can be worked at even if one isn’t born with a Ferrari for a brain.

Btw, you have heat, but we have devastating floods and landslides. Nowhere is safe from climate change, or Ted Cruz for that matter.

As for Ukraine and Israel, I support some assistance to Ukraine, and none to Israel. Fuck Israel. But Ukraine is also sketchy - arguably this wouldn’t of happened if we didn’t go regime changing. Victoria neuland (an Obama diplomat) did some shady shit there in the early-mid 2010s that involved the maiden protests which were a color revolution. They kicked out a pro Russian leader and installed a pro nato one. It’s shady at best. And the Ukrainian neo Nazis are a thing despite liberals trying to pretend they don’t exist (to be fair, there’s questionable groups on the Russian side as well).

All in all I wish we would stop meddling in other countries sovereign affairs and stop being the worlds policeman while we have homeless starving people here.

As my straight white female 30s friend (were in vermont so it’s inconsequential) said: “I can’t afford another four years of this. I did better under the other guy although I hate him.” When I asked her about reproductive rights since she’s a straight woman of childbearing age she said “we’re protected in vermont. If that changes I’ll change.” (We have a state constitutional right to abortion here)

This woman doesn’t hate queers, she doesn’t hate minorities, the only thing she hates is inflation making her work harder for less and less.

And then there’s the wars. Biden/Harris royally fucked up. the billions we send to Ukraine and Israel are deeply unpopular with average people who see rising homelessness and increased natural disasters and shitty government response to it (we’ve been hit hard in vermont with massive flash floods and landslides from rain bombs, it barely makes the national news). The American people are hurting and our government is pissing away money on foreign forever wars. Even with all the insane pro Israel propaganda to the point that our free speech rights are threatened over it, people still don’t support it.

This is like the one time I agree with pelosi? Minus her comments about sanders.

Don’t downplay inflation. That’s how Harris lost in the first place.

Can you believe the democrats spent this much money and still lost as badly as they did?! It blows the mind!

Because they exist to protect their corporate benefactors and popular policies don’t allow for that

Except they don’t or trump wouldn’t of won.

Why should I give a fuck about immigrants who directly drive down my wages? I’m talking legal immigrants. I work for a ski area - they can’t function without J1s and H2Bs or they’d have to pay double the wages for it to make sense for American citizens. I’m in a well tipped position so it doesn’t matter for me but my non tipped coworkers can barely make rent, meanwhile as a condition of employment J1s and H2Bs have to be provided housing (that they pay $500 a month for deducted in their paychecks) by the resort.

Please note how minorities abandoned the democrats because democrats abandoned them.

Every trump voter I know would of went for him. Explain how counties that twice went to Obama in a landslide magically flipped to trump in a landslide. You won’t.

That’s what happened in 2015/2016. BeRnIe Is So ExTrEmE!

Lol at this delusional lib rewriting history that somehow Clinton won over trump 😂

The implications, like supporting a higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, labor protections, unionization, and ending the forever wars?

1000%.

They get mad at trumpers for overlooking his worst attributes (proclivity for fascism) and prioritizing the fact that bidenomics fucked them over for four years, meanwhile Harris voters themselves are overlooking a fucking genocide to vote for Harris to “prevent fascism”.

These fucking people man.

Thankfully trump won both instead of winning the electoral and losing the popular. If it was remotely close or god forbid a repeat of the 2000 election we would be in a hot shooting civil war right now with states threatening secession. So as much as I hate the guy im grateful it wasn’t close as it buys us more peace and more time to organize against his worst impulses.

The democrats lost the senate and likely the house because they didn’t have a candidate worth voting for for president. I think they would of had much closer margins if they were able to turn voters out but they couldn’t because their unelected anointed nominee was trash.

Enjoy drone strikes and beeper bombs and Israeli AI companies hunting for dissidents on social media. Oh yeah, that’s all in israel/Palestine right now but the blowback will bring it to the US in no time.

All of that is happening under the BIDEN HARRIS administration, trumps not in office yet.

Go back to fucking brunch you useless piece of shit.

The dems gaslit the public on inflation. They abandoned the working class decades ago. The economy only got better for the out to brunch professional managerial class liberals while the rest of us suffered.

Most importantly, the democrats haven’t run a competitive primary since 2008, they anointed Harris as their candidate without a single vote being cast for her and then they’re shocked pikachu face when she lost. The fact that democrat operatives make so much money despite being so utterly incompetent that one wonders if it’s malicious it blows the mind.

Maybe this isn’t such a bad thing since the EU had better data privacy laws?

Sorry not meaning that accusatory I mean all of us should not downplay it
