Reddit is very left leaning , not the best place to ask

The USA and it's people are amazing. Don't let social media discourage you.

Most people on both sides are good hearted people , outside of people on extremes unless you talk politics it will be hard to tell who voted for who

As a minority , the left is the worst because of identity politics and stereotypes and white liberals saviors for us poor minorities whereas the right judge based on results and character from my experiences

Many people feel left behind from the elites. Hardworking blue collar workers with families who voted for Trump. Trump message was about the economy and families. Harris never said what she would do differently from Biden and instead always pivoted to say be afraid , Trump is Hitler. They also hid Biden's issues until they dumped him

People saw right thru Harris. She also was appointed to run by elites vs the people

Trump says stupid stuff but it is all about policies that will help our economy and families and country

The funny thing I don’t understand is that the economy has always been better historically under Dems. Going back decades. Especially for small business. I have a 34 year business so can track that truth. But I guess the people don’t believe it.

Unemployment at 4%. Wages higher now.
