    TL;DR: more brain-dead fools who, at their core, genuinely do care about the working class but are too stupid to see the mountain of evidence to show that Trump’s “love” for the working class is as real as unicorn farts. Others also want “change” even if that change is them going from having rights to not having rights, and a few are the worthless protest voters as well.

    I honestly still don’t get it, but I don’t have the level of brainrot of these people so maybe that’s a good thing.

      They aren’t stupid. They’re reacting intelligently to the information they’ve been saturated in. Unfortunately that information is maliciously poor.

        They’re dumb as shit.

        Misinformation is ample & fully aware “the impressionables” get targeted on social media… but unless they’ve been living on a different planet they’re fully aware of Trump’s history. His felony convictions alone were global news.

        I said that years ago but times change. The nonsense they need to convince themselves of is absolutely wild and it must take a herculian daily effort on their part to maintain their collective insanity if we decide to say they aren’t stupid.

        So much of what they hear should qualify as the moment they went “hey, wait a second” but they just keep on going deeper and deeper. They are fools and everyone else needs to deal with that.

        There’s an ethical obligation not to let yourself be a rube. They failed in that.

        But he was already president for 4 years and everyone on the planet knows how incompetent he is and how little he cares. This isn’t a: let’s see if the fat pedo is a good president, it’s a case of: we (should) already know he’s incompetent but we also hate brown people just as much.

            My phone screen’s rouch perception is so bad I’d be checked by a doctor if my keyboard typing weren’t normal. I get so fed up I just leave the errors half the time assuming people will just get the message…

    But also you signified change. Trump signified change. I’ve said lately, Trump sounds more like you.

    I’d feel seriously offended if I was AOC

    You mean to say Trump has falsely tapped in to working class resentment and there was an opportunity to to actually get more votes from, by definition, the largest demographic group in the country if those concerns were addressed in a clear and direct manner?

    Crazy.

    Better just call them all dumb and learn nothing from the examples.

    TBH there’s not much real difference between any of these politicians worldwide. They’re all working together within a violent system of control to serve capital. Even if some politician seems ok, they’ll be working with a fascist when the tide turns. Just look at genocide joe congratulating trump and inviting him over for dinner.
