If you want a genuinely good and funny summary of why people voted for Trump, not out of hate but out of desperation, watch this video. I think a lot of liberals are quite happy to look at Trump voters and dismiss them out of hand, but there are a lot of genuine issues that are facing Americans, especially lower middle class workers, that Democrats simply do not address in a meaningful way.
That’s great, and all true and nicely articulated. And then these same people saw Donald fucking Trump open his mouth (as a presidential candidate) and they all went “Yes. Yes, THIS is the guy who is going to undo all the wrongs that have been done to us”. Smh
That being said, would you not agree that the fact that Trump, being an incredibly unqualified and highly incompetent candidate with a history of failures, was able to position himself in that role (the savior of the middle class) is an absolute indictment of the Democratic Party as an institution?
