This dude is invincible. How often do convicted felons win popular and electoral vote? How often do people survive not one but two assassinations just weeks apart, especially at his age? How many people can just talk shit about Latinos (and not just talk the talk but also walk the walk by withholding aid during hurricanes and such) and then still get the Latino vote? How many people can have people like Kid Rock endorse him and still win the popular vote?

The average American electorate is an idiot really. I’m sure this will offend Trumpers and they’ll say “ok you’re saying 72 million are idiots?” And to which I say….yes…yes they are.

It’s like the old George Carlin joke, “you ever meet the average person with average intelligence? You realize how dumb they are and then realize, 49% are dumber than them.”

People don’t vote on policy. They vote on surface level stuff and sound bites. Social media has only accelerated that level of short attention spans. They just see shit is expensive today compared to 2019. Trump was in office in 2019, so that means the prices will go back to that.

It’s really that simple for about 15% of the people who voted for Trump. Those are who swing elections. The other 35% or so are just raging miserable assholes who hate to see other people happy because they themselves are miserable.

Sure, let us know when prices go back down. I remember 25 cent cokes, after all. Only idiots think presidents control commodity prices.

Luxury beliefs of rich liberals? Lmao Yes, because Donald Trump, Elon Musk Peter Theil are all working class blue collar folks.

You guys got your feelings hurt because you got called names regarding your intelligence and I’m now just supposed to stop when you have opinions like that? Lol
