It was awful awful people who voted for trump. And awful people will continue to vote for the worst option every time. Which is why we need as many people as possible to vote defensively, to prevent things like the war in Iran, for instance.
If they are awful people, why don’t good people jail them or kill them? You know, like in superhero movies americans love so much? Or like when cowboys hunt down corrupt men?
Because we can’t detect or define them as awful out of hand. Awful people don’t have evil printed on their forehead nor do that show up on a detector. Liberal society is founded on the notion that everyone is afforded the chance to fit in and to behave civilly.
There’s also the matter that the giant oligarch-sponsored trillion-dollar-plus far-right propaganda machine is turning people awful by appealing to fear, rage, hatred and prejudice as a means to distract them from the ownership class hoovering up the wealth and then expecting not to pay their fare share.
The preponderance of awful people, the propaganda machine and the billionaires are all symptoms of the decay of civilization. And we’re already watching as society collapses.
No this is why so many people didn’t vote at all. Dem voters who are unhappy with the candidate chosen by the establishment tend to just not vote at all… Republicans always always always vote for the Republican on the ballot no matter how they feel about them.
To be honest sounds to me like it’s the Republicans here who are not playing democracy. Voting for someone no matter whether you agree with them or not is a bot behavior.
Trump managed to get Roe v. Wade overturned. This is something the religious right has had on their bucket list for decades. It’s the equivalent of a Democrat achieving Medicare For All.
It isn’t like they don’t know what to do. Just ask Bernie, AOC, or Warren. They don’t want to do any of that stuff, though, because it would upset the status quo and they’d lose money from their donors: AIPAC, et al.
So this is why so many people voted for Trump?
