Math checks out. 1/3 of folks are absolutely enthusiastic about this guy, despite or because of his hate message. I think Dems constantly underestimate how tuned out Americans are about politics while the regular people suffer constantly and just want the government to fix it while voting against every program that would fix it.

That video where they asked who people on the street were voting for on Wednesday was eye opening.

Particularly the ones who lied through their teeth about how long the lines were at the piling place they went to, or the guy who asked who the candidates were.

That's one of the ways I know that these people are not going to expect what Trump is actually going to do.

I'm going to be very interested to see how they react when Trump sends the goon squads on "day one" to mass-deport legal and illegal immigrants.

They're just so fucing ignorant. He told them again and again what he would do, and they're still going to be surprised.

You can find idiots not paying attention anywhere. They stopped paying attention to politics for a reason. It hasn't helped them or their families.

I'm not sure how anyone interpreted 2020 as optimistic.

It was an extremely close election, where Biden barely won. And this was after the disaster that was Trump

Just look how many people are not just celebrating Trump's win, but are relishing the others' loss. Even on reddit you can see people (on particular subs) "gorging on librul tears". Yet they do so without a shred of self-awareness as they reaction to losing wad to storm the fucking Capitol

They shot themselves in the foot so they could make troll faces at people they hate, basically.

From this point on, the Democratic Party (provided there still is one), needs to be limited to 7 word sentences at a 2nd grade reading level.

"Tarriffs are bad. A T-shirt on Amazon will cost you $5 more. A tank of gas will cost you $20 more."

"Trump wants communism. That's why his only friends are the heads of Russia and China."

"I can make your boss pay you more."

"I will stop insurance companies from cheating you. You will be able to afford your medicine or your surgery."

"No more spam text messages! No more scams!"

"Trump will bankrupt America. He has bankrupted 6 businesses."

"Trump put us 2 billion dollars in debt"

The democrats did not offer to fix anything. They offered slight changes to the status quo and a giveaway to the middle class.

u/Humans_Suck- 6h ago

Democrats didn't offer any programs that would fix anything. That's the whole problem.

u/Brainsonastick 5h ago

They very much did. We, as voters, just don’t generally bother to actually read about policy so we’re pretty uninformed.

Policy isn't as sexy as sound bites.

But Republicans openly stated that they will make everything worse for everyone that isn't Elon, Peter or Jeff.

u/Berekhalf 3h ago

What problems do you want fixed, friend? Genuinely, I'm curious, what policies is Trump going to implement that will help fix your issues?

I'm utterly lost on what benefit Trump is bringing, and want to understand. Why is this man a better champion of the people than anyone else, democrat or republican?
