We want to think we’re not assholes, as a country, but we are. The more important thing though is that we’re mostly economically poor assholes, and we got poorer under Biden these last four years, so people care less about what a huge asshole and fascist Trump is as he’s the candidate of change.
Or the fact that Biden’s leadership ensured we became less poor over the past four years than the rest of the world. The GOP is also gaslighting that it’s all because of immigration. They also have no understanding that tariffs and mass deportations like Trump is suggesting would absolutely crater the economy. No sense of neuance for at least 40% of Americans whatsoever. Everything is about “fuck you I got mine”.
I think it’s pretty simple.

I think if any of the voters here in America could think of the larger implications of their vote, they’d never vote Democrat or Republican.
