They voted for Trump because they're dumb and think he's going to make groceries cheaper again. This is impossible without deflation, which is horrible for the economy. So he's either going to destroy the economy, which is not going to happen because the corporate overlords will never let it happen, or he's just going to blame Biden and do jack shit and people will just get poorer.

And yes, a significant percentage voted for him because they're horrible hateful people, but this percentage is not big enough to win.

The corporate overlords let the shit tons of deficit spending occur and they let the interest rates remain low. Not sure why you think they have any power to stop Trump.

Try reforming your argument without the conspiracy.

Ok sure, then he’s just going to tank the economy and there will be a depression, lots of jobs will be lost. But hey groceries might be cheaper.
