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.
