Trump won the popular vote. The average American voter wants Trump as their President β which was not the case in 2016 or 2020. I was on the ground canvassing in PA. Spoiler alert: our middle class is not doing well. One of the last guys I talked to was holding a pizza box and almost teared up telling me he couldnβt afford pizza. True story, just happened last month. Our middle class is the backbone of America. Whether you care about the economy or just care about helping those that have less than you β you should want the middle class to do well! Listen to them, understand their problems, make their lives better. This is how America will continue to thrive. Democrats need to take a step back and re-evaluate their entire strategy and messaging. Itβs all fucked.

I don't like that use of the word "average", but also seriously I don't get it. Democrats offer lower taxes for the middle class, cheaper healthcare, consumer protections, better education, more robust social programs, quality of life improvements across the board. What is Trump actually offering except a handful of minority groups to hate and blame all the problems on? He has no plan except to enrich himself at everyone else's expense. I definitely live in a weirdly flavored ignorance bubble that makes me unable to understand why people would so willingly and enthusiastically vote against their own self interests.

yeah, I feel everything you said. idk man, I feel like itβs mostly vibes based, and it may time for us to lay to rest the social unrest of the 2010s and identity politics

I don't know about that, I think it's awesome that people today feel more empowered than ever to explore their identity and express who they are. That makes some people uncomfortable, but why do we need to coddle people trying to live under antiquated social norms? That feels so gross and regressive.

I think a lot of the powerful sadness is coming from people who finally felt free to express themselves, and now they feel like they're being forced to go back into hiding. That's not great, finally feeling free, then suddenly having it ripped away just to appease some jerks trying to impose their shitty world-view.
