Lol last time Trump was president and the stock market would fall, he would actually get on tv and get mad at the stock market. Like why would the stock market do this to me, are they dumb?

Its nonsense to boil it down to that degree. Im not saying youre wrong about what you are perceiving, Im saying its not acceptable or a reasonable expectation for voters to not be capable of discerning the difference between one candidate being convicted of 30+ felonies and the other being the VP of a president whos son, not in a position of government power whatsoever, also having legal problems. No matter how low info someone is, those situations arent in any way equatable. And thats without getting into Trumps myriad of other legal issues concerning his massive fraudulent activities and sexual assault. Jan 6. FBI raid on Mar a Lago. Etc. low info voters might be understandable in literally any other election in living memory, even including 2016. But 2024? We have to expect more of our fellow Americans.

Low info voters are a problem, but honestly theres no excuse for 2024. Even the most detached low information voter was aware that Trump was a convicted felon. There is no individual who was so detached from reality they werent aware of the real issues and crimes Trump was engaged in, and if they werent, they were never a dependable voting block at any time including any preceding election they were eligible to vote in. Hell, most had already lived through a Trump term previously. Theres no excuse for the difference in voting metrics between 2020 and 2024. Its not like this was a typical election between two status quo candidates with slightly different policy platforms that was difficult for the layman to parse through. The electorate shoulders a large share of the blame for this.

She didnt transcend humanity and shed all moral deficiencies and personality flaws. Therefore I saw no reason to bother voting against the 34 time felon, rapist, fraudster, fascist. An enlightened centrist.

So much this. It was never about economic anxiety. It was never about eggs. Its about hateful Americans electing a petty criminal fixated on vengeance to hurt the right people.
u/xander707

This is him hurting the right people folks. Stop living in denial. Trump hates America, especially those who dont worship him. Hes going to leverage his near absolute power against us.

That could be why < and + are in the comment but I cant be sure.
u/xander707

Its not about logic or facts. Its about them having a unified voice of scripted propaganda to overwhelm the discourse and normalize the insanity and right wing extremism.
u/xander707

Well, at least we are checks notes <1 month downonly 47+ months left to go.

Smh at all the women and minorities that voted for this trash. How the poor and/or non-white men can be convinced to vote against their own interests for a fraudulent, rapist, felon – I will never understand for all my life.
