I was gonna title this "And here I sit so patiently waiting to find out what price you have to pay to get out of going through all these things twice" and then write "Stuck inside of America with the fascism blues again" here, but I'm not sure if that comes off like gloating and that's honestly the last thing I want to do this morning.
So I guess people actually think Trump and Musk are going to help them with their egg prices?
People think that Trump is going to change things, which is very hard to argue against. Yes, it won't be change for the better, but Harris was offering them 4 more years of the status quo that is currently hurting them.
No one can argue Trump didn't get things done. He got a lot done, especially when you compare that to the perception people have of the Biden administration.
But I brought this up earlier: Trump may hate his followers, absolutely loathe them, but he still panders to them, even if it's fake promises. He accomplishes things they want done, and shows he can make progress, something the Democrats botch literally anytime they get any semblance of power. Trump makes his constituents feel heard.
The Democrats, just, don't. Everyone on Lemmy I'm sure has seen people offering criticism of Biden/Harris, and the response has been to immediately insult, scold, condescend, and shame the individual for not towing the party line. Your concerns, anxieties, hangups, none of that matters because fascism bad so stfu and vote and also fuck you anyway.
Trump's supporters ask him to abolish vaccines, and he seriously considers it.
Harris' supporters ask her to not support a genocide in Palestine, and she sends Bill Clinton to lecture them about why Israel has the right to do what they're doing.
It's a two-way street, the politicians just can't keep demanding our votes and ignoring our issues. And if that's what they're going to do, then congratulations, you've turned your voting base apathetic, and you deserve to lose to fascism.
I'm not even American and I constantly see Lemmy users dunk on me for saying Biden/Harris are corpo dems who don't have policies most people wanted. That DNC and democrat politicians will be to blame if Drumpf wins.Not voters. Not independents. The Party and the Party Leaders.
