I beg to differ. Do you think anyone ignorant enough to vote for a racist, traitor, and rapist cares about all that? You are giving them way too much credit. Most voted for Trump because they are racists plain and simple. The others are just as corrupt and sick as the orange pig and they want to line their own pockets. Not one gives a damn about our democracy. Buckle up we are in for the fight of our lives.

They only care about money. I'm sick of people saying they can't afford things, but yet they can afford multiple $50 trump T-shirts and $30 trump hats; take videos of him on their $1,000 phones and follow his "campaign stops" like it's a Grateful Dead tour. My sister and her husband are the wealthiest people in the family and the only MAGAts. Greed begets greed. They are stealing from their grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

I actually think non-ignorant people voted for a known racist, traitor, rapist because he said he would tear down status quo government. That simply was more important to them than anything else for their various personal reasons. I was super hurt that so many Americans voted for Trump, but I know some of them...and they aren't idiots. They had aches and pains that pro-democracy messaging failed to address. I have been super concerned with freedom and inclusiveness. They worried about how much the government was giving away to others (and not themselves). They worried about price of good now when we talked about our success in inflationary trends and number of jobs. And they wanted something about crime, but I don't fully understand that--they can't really want rough 'em up day or military tribunals.

Giving away to who? That mentality is completely emblematic of everything MAGA stands for and everything wrong with this country. People (historically and typically white) always think equality is a zero sum game. If black people and immigrants get rights or support, somehow that must mean that white people lose rights. It goes without saying that nothing could be farther from the truth. For people who are "not idiots," they don't appear to be very bright or have even a rudimentary understanding of how the economy works.

Giving away to who? I hear acquaintances--many who are minorities-- worried that American government is giving too much in aid to wars, people outside the country and to immigrants, when they have needs. I'm basically not in agreement with them, but I know government doesn't really educate the population on how much and why citizen hard earned dollars are going to other countries and non-citizens when they feel their support programs/money go unfunded. Can our pro-democracy message address this concern? I was in Chicago last month and people were complaining that one of the suburbs wanted to do something or other with migrants in the community center--this angered the community since the space wouldn't then be available for regular uses.

Easy, easy, take a breath, calm down, !! Probably or definitely true but my grandmother said you catch more flies with hone than with vinegar. And so you need to use DonOLDs only talent - grifting. He is the most successful snake-oil salesman of all time. How do I know. I've sold a few things. So, just draw the suckers in with some easy to understand concepts and some free stuff and this will all be over in 26. But stop all this vengeance and use that beautiful brain for more than a hat rack. It needs to be done while they are self-congratulating and the suckers are off-guard.
