    It’s hardly surprising. While voting for Trump the first time could be an honest mistake - and possibly even the second time if you’re truly a dumbass - the third time, Trump voters deliberately voted for a convicted felon, sex offender, patented liar, insurrectionist fascist. They knew exactly what they were doing, they wanted this and Trump delivered exactly what they wanted.

    Those 49% are today’s America: a disgusting, fascist America. They’re the disease, Trump is only the symptom.

      Functionally many of those people have never known life can be different. The benefit of Blue presidents barely gets felt in their states because of their Red state and local governments. But the Red state and local governments just point the finger at the Federal government, whenever Dems are in power, as the source of all their problems.

      If the same wording is used with these same people, but pointing their issues to be the mega-corporations and the billionaires, then many of them do listen. The thing is, they want a simple fix, they want a simple solution, because they don’t have an educational background nor the time to sift through the nitty gritty. They’re okay with be lied to even, just so long as they’re being told the work is getting done regardless of what they may hear.
