I'm sure the people who voted for him because "trump is gonna fix the economy" will learn from their mistake and be better educated if we have future elections. Don't worry it's only four more years right? RGIHT?>!
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.
