I get the sentiment, but horrible economic prospects had a lot more to do with this than different people seeking common decency when you get down to it.
Biden: Supply chains, inflation, corporate greed. Stay the course, things are improving over time
Okay not to defend Republicans, but if I was barely able to afford rent and heard “stay the course” I’d fucking riot. Please don’t present Biden’s position of “what do you mean? The economy is awesome” as the reasonably side here.
Setting aside that even then denying that there’s a problem at all is still fucking stupid, if you feel you have no future at all under the current system there is logic to burning everything down and hoping something less terrible comes out of the ashes.
if I was barely able to afford rent and heard “stay the course”
…. And you had the awareness to see the historically huge investments in infrastructure, supply chains, renewable energy, EVs that would have added thousands of jobs? that inflation had been trending down and was near normal? Repeated attempts to implement assistance for the student loan crisis over Republican objections? Etc
Biden did a lot of the right things for all of us, but we needed to stay the course long enough for them to take effect and we needed to be both aware that they existed and patient enough to understand that some things take time.
Instead we voted for an orange child to throw tantrums and break all our toys.
Destruction is fast and easy, but building is much harder and takes more time
Lmao. More seriously, though, Trump did campaign on improving the economy and it helped him a lot. The fact that anyone with half a brain could tell he wasn’t going to do that is secondary.
People vote based on principles and strategies different from yours. Bitching about it won’t change that fact or help you win elections. Enjoy your 5 minutes of hate.
To add to this, the economy is not better for the average person currently, anyone who thought it would be is naive and I just have trouble believing that American’s on average are that gullible.
Which doesn’t make sense either because historically all economic indicators have been better on average during democrat governments than republican ones

Trump: Kill healthcare and social programs and deport Brown people. Instant fix.
Dumbfucks: I do hate people who aren’t like me. And harming others makes me feel better about myself. I’m in.

I didn’t think I was. But a real dumbfuck chooses option B
But factually things were improving in spite of corporate greed. But as much as they could have. Now they’re not.
But this wasn’t an essay
When the alternative is to burn everything down, staying the course absolutely is the reasonable option.
Setting aside that even then denying that there’s a problem at all is still fucking stupid, if you feel you have no future at all under the current system there is logic to burning everything down and hoping something less terrible comes out of the ashes.
Would you still riot

“Okay, so I believed the authoritarian liar – but I was soooooooo mad! I literally had no choice!”
It’s called nuance and it’s a lot more productive than blind righteous anger.

I honestly do not think that it did.
That might be what people will tell you (and themselves in some cases), but I don’t buy it.

We all know the economy is bad. But they choose to believe it is caused by trans people and immigrants. So OOP still correct.
Which doesn’t make sense either because historically all economic indicators have been better on average during democrat governments than republican ones
Except the only indicator that matters to the oligarchic owner/operators of the USA, the wealth transfer to the rich.
Yeah but almost all his voters are not oligarchs by statistics, they are just stupid
MUH ECONOMIC ANXIETY
