Yeah, believe it or not most middle Americans don’t care about Cardi B’s take on economic policy or that Kamala is a big supporter of drag queen story hour. If democrats stopped worrying about asinine social rhetoric and focused on giving the working class a chance at a future without being buried in medical debt for getting a cold then they would have won in a land slide. Nobody in Jasper Indiana gives a shit about some kids being blown to bits in Gaza when they can’t afford to feed their own kid. Nobody in rural Alabama cares about the sanctity of Ukrainian borders and funding that war when they can’t afford their rent payment.
Oh, Kamala is going to be the first woman and black woman at that for president? Who fucking cares when I’m working two jobs to pay off college debt for a STEM degree I was told would give me a comfortable life.
Most people who voted for Trump aren’t racist Nazis, they are broken people who’ve had shit shoveled in their face by politicians, crony capitalism, the media, and celebrities so when George Clooney and Brie Larson call them idiots and tell them to vote for Harris of course they are going to do the opposite.
You have to be a brain dead moron to lose to the wannabe fascist, small dick energy, piece of shit, geriatric, brain mush, pile of dirt that is trump, but somehow Democrats continue to not meet that low low low bar.
This is poetry. It perfectly explains the thought process.
I live in a rural part of California where Republicans move to get all the benefits of Democrat policies but get to vote Republicans into office.
Where I live, nothing has changed much since 2008. We’ve had a Starbucks installed for the highway, some restaurants moved locations, and that’s it.
It totally makes sense someone in the desert I live in goes “well Obama didn’t fix my area. I’ll try trump, he tells me what I wanna hear.”
And then trump didn’t change anything here either. Some crazies got more proud in their crazy, but things were the same until the pandemic. Even then, we still had to work out same dead end jobs but with a mask to pay rent.
I get why people like a shake up, I get why trump can seen appealing to the white people here. Dead end jobs, can barely afford to live in such a place, and Congress and the white hosue doesn’t listen.
But to actively listen to him talk about his plans is madness. Only people who hate others can stand it. And the Democrats lost to a man who didn’t string the Nazi’s 14 words together.
I wanted Harris, and I didn’t expect much to change here either. I’ve lived here for 20 years against my will and consent, due to life events and shit happening. Nothing changes. I wanted change, Harris couldn’t do it, but Trump would have in the worst way.
I get the feeling of disillusionment. I’ve been feeling that with the democrats for the last decade. But, to your point that most Trump voters are not nazis, they could have simply stayed home and not voted. Plenty of democrat voters did that, so no reason they couldn’t have as well. Anyone with two functional brain cells could see that Trump is not going to make a positive impact on much of anything, especially when his message was almost entirely driven by hate for marginalized groups. His first term was proof enough. You don’t get to vote for a nazi and not call yourself one. These people are complicit in the hell they’ve now helped create.
The democrats have been such shit lately that if a middle of the road republican would have ran I most likely would have voted for them. The problem is that Republicans are spineless morons who let trump walk all over them. I know a lot of people here will act like only Republicans are the ones in big businesses pocket, but news flash pretty much everyone except Bernie sanders is in big business pocket, and democrats made sure that Bernie got thrown out with the trash.
Guess what democrats, if you run old middle America white dudes who understand the working class you will win by unfathomable margins every election. But I guess keep running upper class women from San Francisco and New York City and see where that keeps getting you.
