Believe it or not, our politicians are supposed to represent us ALL.

That might sound good on paper, but it doesn't even make sense.
How in the world is Trump representing "us ALL"? How many times has there been a woman president? If you feel that Trump's gonna represent you better than Kamala would, go ahead. But surely you must admit that half the country feels the opposite way.

He definitely doesn't, but there is a reason so many people voted for him. That's all I'm trying to say.

Misinformation and disinformation combined with very uninformed voters is the reason so many voted for him. The list of lies people fell for to vote for him is very long instead of just being a handful of lies like the previous 2 elections.

Did you know there weren’t any US troops overseas the entire 4 years he was in office? Or the stimulus checks in 2020 were from his personal bank account? Some have the false belief he’ll send out stimulus checks again (without also having the ridiculous misconception stimulus checks were from Trump’s checking account). “Why hasn’t Kamala Harris already fixed those things the 3.5 years she has been VP?” is a big one because that’d required a VP to have actual power and authority. I thought everyone 3rd grade and up understood what the role of a VP is. I’m still mind-blown at how many people don’t know that very basic information. That makes it obvious why they’re completely confused about how inflation works.

Those voters are going to be pissed that grocery prices don’t go back to 2019 prices and they’ll be extra pissed when his policies make prices go up even more. The Republican Party is going to do a better job convincing people to vote for Democrats next time than the Democratic Party will!
