I could somehow understand that in 2016. Not everyone knew that he was an absolute moron. People in Europe knew, Mexicans knew, etc, but somehow Bob in Pennsylvania thought that the serial bankruptcy guy was a great businessman. Whatever.

But in 2024 after the first term, the treason, the criminal convictions, the rapes, etc... it's inexcusable.

Yeah, 49% of people voted for him. He gained voters from last time. Mind blowing.

The right-wing propaganda machine has gotten very good at blasting "The Democrats are DESTROYING THE NATION" across every channel they have whenever there's a non-Republican in power. Anyone who listens to it will never vote D, no matter what - because they believe that everything Democrats do are aimed at stripping rights from citizens and taking money from their paychecks. That propaganda machine is getting a broader and broader foothold as moneyed interests continue to gain ground.
