Yeah man, gamer gate didn’t happen 🙄
You can live in 2008 and 2014, but I can guarantee you (if what you saw this week wasn’t enough) that people are a tad more concerned with their inability to pay for groceries and the necessity of rationing their meds.
The voters told Dems what they wanted. Dems told them to be joyful about being in poverty.
They didn’t vote Trump out of hatred of women. (Most, at least. Some surely did.) They voted Trump because Harris represented a very shitty status quo.
They thought Trump was going to save them from poverty? Did he save them from poverty last time?
The poverty wasn’t this extreme last time. That’s the issue.
Did you think that had anything to do with Trump?
I do, yes.
It made me think of 2016, when three families on my parents’ block had lost their homes to foreclosure, and Hillary was trying to defend the status quo. Extrapolate that to every street in America and you have an unelectable Democrat.
The same is true now, except it’s people working 2-3 jobs for the privilege of barely affording to live in the US. Trump lied about a lot of things, but he didn’t have to lie about how hard it’s become just to exist in this country.
Trump instituted a tax cut for everyone that was set to expire and a perpetual one for companies. It’s hilarious that you think Trump made anyone prosperous he was running on the fumes of Obama’s economy before he helped crash it by totally bungling covid.
I don’t think Trump made anyone prosperous.
The problem here is that, under Biden, the majority of Americans experienced poverty as they never had before, and Harris’ campaign represented a status quo that most Americans are deeply dissatisfied with.
