[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are less than two years into the Trump poop show. You all asked for this. Because for some reason Kamala was the most horrible person on earth. Not president of her fan club, but she would have maintained some sense of normalcy and decency. Rather than blowing up this great American experiment. Which didn't need blowing up. Definitely needed some tweaking. But not this huge destruction of everything that was good in this country.

But keep watching Fox News for your daily dose of propaganda and thinking everything is hunky dory and Trump is a wonderful man whose sole purpose is to help you and not to line his pockets.

And the first person who replies with "TDS" or whatever else is proving my point and has an IQ of 12.[/quote]

I voted for kamala but I would have voted for anyone other trump tbh.
But trump didn't win because half the country is suicidal.  
He won because those voters didn't think the country needed tweaking, they thought it needed an overhaul.

They were sick of DEI and racial preferences.
White people were afraid that their children would experience downward social mobility under a government that seems super concerned about everyone but them.
The debate surrounding trans ideology had just enough kernels of outrageous incidents to snowball into a moral panic.
The democratic lack of focus on economic issues like inflation reinforced the stereotype that democrats suck at economics, despite all evidence to the contrary.
The coronation of Kamala as the Democratic candidate felt like the coronation of Hillary as the Democratic candidate.[/quote]
I think the real issue is Americans lack of focus and expectation that the president will defy all odds. Look, the entire world was experiencing record inflation and the US was doing well compared to nearly every peer nation. Because no one put our inflation issues in context, we got an idiot who crashed our economy. Joseph Biden, while incredibly senile and there being legitimate questioning as to who ran the second half of his term, was an incredibly pro labor candidate and the infrastructure bill has had positive visible outcomes that are still going on.

I find it deeply upsetting when people frame the issue of modern choice of Trump as a choice of desiring “change.” That’s incorrect. Change would look like innovative ideas on how we govern, constructive accountability towards politicians of all stripes, encouraging us all to vote and modernizing our system to our peers, finding a concrete objective solution to our healthcare and insurance industry crisis, discussing ways to reduce the cost of housing (one of which would’ve been a ban on international and corporate holding of residential property- which should make the trump camp happy and SHOULD be discussed to some capacity), etc. What is happening currently is retaliation.  The republicans want to belittle and destroy those in the healthcare industry, research, academia, law, global health, and most other white collar professions, while making zero progress on improving the conditions for their working class coalition. I’ve lost so much respect for many people in this country, because they want me to believe that trans people (<1% of the population) cost democrats the election. [/quote]
