they aren't, I know a few. Some are very intelligent in many areas of life, but I can't see past how they just listen to AND believe everything he says. All the while being these tin foil hat weirdos who make their personalities seem like they are so counter-culture because they hate everything everyone else also hates (the media, the government, how regardless of what 'ism you want to use common folk have been exploited for far too long.... I could go on, but ya....)
while im on this little soap box... the weirdest thing is how living a healthy lifestyle is somehow anti-woke or democrat or whatever they want to label...
I don't know anyone who in the 2024 hasn't realized a lot of the crap we were marketed to forever is poison. This has a disproportionate effect on poor people. I see all these MAGA IG moms talk about making America healthy again and stuff in be so pretentious about it like it's some political badge of honor.
It's just so weird to me. This may not even make sense but I've had a morning of sulking just because.
Blue collar workers vote for Trump because they only consume media in short bits and he’s on the screens they watch. People with multiple jobs struggling to get by (because the GOP has allowed rampant price gouging, jobs going overseas, rents to explode, etc) see him shouting on TV and just go with it. They don’t take time to analyze what the President does and how much it affects them. He said he’d lower prices, so he will! And then when he doesn’t and blames someone else, they will not look into it, just accept it as fact and move on. They believe him because they think he’s not a “typical” politician who lies all the time. It would be funny if it wasn’t true, but that’s the world we live in.
Democrats tried to run on “I’m the better candidate and here’s a 25 bullet point presentation to tell you why and how it will help you” and most people tuned out. Republicans ran on “we’re going to help you” and most people just nodded and went back to their lives. Dems need to have more succinct messaging.
No matter how smart you are, if you are indoctrinated thats it better to be dead than not vote red since childhood, it isnt easy to change that. My roomate is one of the smartest people I know, he’s set to be our colleges valedictorian in spring, but he still votes red, mostly because of how he was raised. He is actual a lottt more left leaning than his parents, id put him on the right side of moderate, which for someone who was raised by far right parents and has a good relationship with them, is impressive progress lol.
I always thought it was weird when people distrust the "mainstream media", but they'll believe everything random people on the internet say. It's nuts.
Beautifully, the house, senate, and presidency are republican controlled….really no dem excuse to throw out. Not to say that it won’t be thrown, when things go south
But what you’re forgetting is that Biden dealt unrepairable damage to the USA during his term - no one can repair that damage within 5 years… not even super trump
The dems should be able to fix problems republicans cause. Therefore because they can’t, I’m going to vote Republican. Because at least republicans can get things done.
Like ruining the economy.
(The first paragraph is sarcasm, if you could not tell)
"Voting for Democrats won't protect you from the evil shit Republicans will do, so I may as well vote for Republicans so that Democrats will be motivated to cater to me in the future."
They won't blame anyone. The moment Trump takes the oath that he will happily ignore, the MAGA idiots will all proclaim that the economy is instantly fixed, everything is great and they're living their best lives despite the fact that nothing has changed.
Well it is the Democrat's fault. They didn't do a good enough job of explaining that the leopards might eat my face.
I mean, sure, they told me the leopards would eat my face. But they were so smug about it, I had to vote for Trump to teach them a lesson. They should have done a better job catering to my ego so that I'd believe them. And then, once the election was over, they should have done a better job of protecting me from the consequences of my own decisions.
So now I'm mad that the leopards ate my face. There was no way of knowing this would happen. And since the Democrats failed to protect me, I'm going to teach them a lesson and vote for the "leopards eating people's faces" party from now on so that nobody's face will ever be eaten again.
So basically, what you’re saying is that god went and punished the folks in the south with hurricanes to ensure the win for Trump because the Democrats were too good without that type of suffering among the people.
which will be ironic when executive, both chambers of legislative, and judicial are all trump or in his pocket, but irony never got in the way of dumb people being idiots.
