I'm convinced that most of the people who voted for Trump paid absolutely zero attention to politics or any information about Trump and his crimes and his policies or anything.

They voted based on the 100s of millions of dollars worth of lying ads and social media posts and general disinformation that Putin and MusQ and other billionaires and FoKKKs Noose spread.

It seems to me the way to win elections is to spread lies with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of ads, like they did.

All we need are some billionaires to help us do that next time.

The Nebraska Senate race was instructive. Dan Osborn was the purist example you could find of a candidate fighting to stand up for the working man (i.e., pipefitter, veteran, no college degree, said he didn't even own a suit). He ran a brilliant campaign as an independent --- yet the folks in Nebraska still returned to office a SuperPAC backed incumbent who hadn't held a town meeting since 2017 and apparently increased her net worth 10 times while in office (per her financial disclosure forms).

A lot of the vote was (1) I always vote Republican, (2) Sexist, racist, anti-LGBTQ, and (3) For "traditional values." And the vast majority of their beliefs driven by right wing lies.

We don't have to lie when we have the truth about the orange buffoon from his own mouth.

There is lots of truth in what you say. The Trumpers attracted simple people using simple entertainment by Trump and other comic politicians. The Democratic message is not as simple as Trump's entertaining messages. There is nuance and novel ideas to Democrats' messaging. I think most simple people, and that means most of the country, can't handle the subtleties. I'm not giving up, but just stating my perceptions.

You have Soros. Ask obama, bidens polosi, and the likes for donations, they made millions while in office. Just look at their net worth before going to DC and now. You have your billionaires.

The country rejected the lefts extreme ideas like trans for children, sexualizing children in schools, pedophiles, pedophilic parades around small children, mandates for jabs,

the hand holding to the WEF, and I could go on and on. I guess its hard to think it was the policies the left was throwing out there, the country rejected. It wouldn’t have mattered if it was a purple man or a yellow alien, we wanted to end the extreme ruining of our country. We put up with Biden/Harris for 4 years. We are worse off from that. The majority of people who are aware of these things, are tired of it.

With all the issues you have with Trump, why didn’t you see that during his term in 2016? These fears are all from MSNBC playbook. They want the WEF to run here in the US! That is what this is about. So they demonize those who don’t play. This is BIGGER then Trump and Harris. Look who is running things above them! The WEF as an agenda. US is in the way AGAIN, with Trump.

Lets stay out of war and come together as Americans. Division is intentional! Remember that when your media is telling you who to hate.

You state to "remember that when your media is telling you who to hate." ....as you stress the hate for the democrats. HMMMM? Donny Boy's MAGA is the party that sold everyone that we are the evil party of perverts. Which is far from the truth. Trans are such a small percentage of the population, yet it was treated as a HUGE thing. Pedophiles?? Good lord, give us a break. tRump was hanging with Epstein, he was charged with sexual assault by multiple women. I just can't believe the blindness from the right. Put up with Biden and Harris. I'd like to know what that even means. The economy is booming. Buden faced a major health crisis. Just like Obama had to deal with the housing crisis. Both eventually helped the US recover better than any country globally.

Where are all the missing children from the border the government reported as missing? Remember when democrats were concerned about ‘the children in cages”? I’m just saying consistency is key. If you are bothered by all the issues you have with Trump, one can’t keep ears and eyes closed with Clinton, Obama and Biden. Political sides should NOT matter, correct?

Where are the missing 1,400 that were ripped from their parents arms? How about the 5k that were also traumatized by that action and may still be dealing with mental issues from that Zero Tolerance Policy. I just shared an article about the lies regarding 300k unaccompanied children. They are not missing and have never been reported as such. The issue was a paper shuffling problem. They were and still are with whoever they went to. Because the border officials have decided not to deport many of them, they have never pursued looking for them. Maybe get your facts straight and we can have an educated discussion.

Political sides do matter. Seems many former republicans agree with this fact. Many I wouldn’t have formerly agreed with have stood their ground against MAGA and trumpism. You don’t like those three presidents doesn’t mean the rest of us feel that way. And we don’t base it on politics. We base it on character and morals. And now you will throw out a blowjob with Clinton. SMH. He removed a large portion of our deficit. And both he and Obama had 8 straight years. If Biden hadn’t lost ground due to his having CoVid for a second time and due to his age, he too would have had 8 straight years.

People didn’t vote for Kamala for many reasons: They didn’t know her. Some asked “Where was Biden on the ballot?” She’s a woman. She can’t handle the tough jobs. She’s black. Or she’s confused about being black. She’s a whore who slept her way to the top. She’s gonna pay for trans surgeries for criminals (something she said in 2019 but no matter if this was from the past that they ran an ad millions of times. Two actual had that happen. TWO.)

She’s far left. (Even though she campaigned with a far right Repub)

Saying she called him Hitler when she said no such thing. The list of lies about her is long.

Here’s where I have an issue, though. No matter what tRump did or said it was sane-washed by the media. Grabbing pussies literally never mattered. Cheating on all three wives never mattered. Paying off porn stars never mattered. Talking about sexual things on stage in front of children. So unpresidential. Calling Pelosi a bitch. Telling people her husband was having a gay affair after having his head bashed in. Name calling everybody who was his “enemy within.” Calling us Marxists and communists. Vance calling himself a never-tRumper and called him Hitler (not Harris) Vance called childless cat women unable to vote wisely. And lied that Project

2025 was going to be used, which now they are admitting it was the plan all along.

I’m still getting texts trying to make sure I’m a Republican. Why? Because he will NEVER be the president for all of us. He hates DemonCrats. His posts on media proves this. He is just disgusting. PERIOD. That has nothing to do with my politics. It’s just a fact.

Choosing to ignore some things for political gain never fixes anything. When you can see the problem in BOTH parties, that’s when one is serious about the issues.

You and Republicans are the ones choosing to ignore things for political gains. Go sell stupid somewhere else.

And most Republicans made their millions before they decided to run for office. Get real, Babel.
