WTF? Biden passed multiple layers of loan relief for students, and the Republicans blocked most of it with lawsuits and the rigged SCOTUS. Are we living in different realities?
I am old enough to remember one of these two people fighting tooth and nail to provide loan relief for students, and the other working as hard as possible to prevent it. One of them raised the min wage his first month in office and increased healthcare budgets, the other spent the start of his term raising taxes on workers and taking healthcare away.
But sure, they are all the same. If you don’t count their policies nor their results.
My data is from AP https://apnews.com/article/trump-harris-gender-gap-votecast-05672b6426cb5965c446ae2871d97eaf
I have no idea what you mean by “20% swing in gender.” There’s an 8% gap between men and women supporting Trump, and the AP said: “the gender voting gap was unremarkable by recent historical standards.”
Also, AP reported that Biden had 55% of the women vote, meaning that the gender gap today is narrower than the 2020 election.
“Harris had the advantage among women, winning 53% to Trump’s 46%, but that margin was somewhat narrower than President Joe Biden’s in 2020, according to the survey. In 2020, VoteCast showed Biden won 55% of women”

"I think Trump has been conditioning Americans since 2015 to see violence as something justified in certain cases and even patriotic.
He’s been conditioning them to see other Americans as enemies, as diseased, as dirty. And what we have to remember is that authoritarians might initially target one group, and he’s been talking mostly about immigrants. But he’s also calling the enemy within the political opposition.
[…]
And this is part of an authoritarian projection mechanism. I call it the upside-down world of authoritarianism, where, ever since Mussolini, he was the first to call democrats the real tyrants and fascism was going to be freedom. Fascism was going to make Italy great again. That was a slogan, as was drain the swamp. Trump took that from Mussolini as well."
“I hope that you will forgive me if I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said.

Dear America, Please stop trying to shoot Donald Trump. He’s got like 100 years of prison coming up in 2025. If you shoot him you make him a martyr and deny us the long crushing process of justice.
