            Sorry if that was a mistaken assumption, I’m just sick of “lefties” already running republican apologetics just because Leopard Eating Peoples’ Faces party members are finally seeing the leopards turn on them.

            “ThIs Is WhY yOu KeEp LoSiNg” said in response to not feeling sympathy for these people is step one

      These are mostly just ordinary working people who voted for him, not traitor lunatics.

          They are voting according to their material interests. What is there to figure out?

            They voted directly against their material interests, as is evidenced by every single post in this com.

            And that info wasn’t hidden, as the entire campaign was policy that would obviously raise costs,

              If you believe the working class is too stupid to understand its own interests and deserves what it gets, you are not a leftist.

            Voting for rich guy will make me rich?? This is a myth. Rich ppl don’t get rich by giving money to others.

              Well the explanation would work for one election, 2024.

              In 2016, he was a terrible choice on so many fronts, but no especially strong reason to expect he would dramatically shift inflation or pay. And on those specific metrics, his first term was mostly typical, except pandemic, which people can believe to be an utterly freak event beyond anyone’s control if they still wanted to vote for Trump.

              The global economic shock continued and was exasperated by war. Biden had little to do with it, but it was on his watch, so he gets saddled with blame, so to the extent a voter just thinks about their personal economic situation, they vote for “not the current leadership”.

              So this term has been marked by utterly predictable economic problems that everyone told them would happen, but they didn’t have first hand experience to trust that, and Trump’s rhetoric resonated with the “I know smart people say it doesn’t work, but ‘common sense’ tells me get rid of immigrants and tariff all imports and things will be great, making American jobs and getting rid of foreigners taking the jobs”.

              So now they get to see first hand why those common sense thoughts don’t actually work.

              Still. I predict next year they’ll roll back tariffs to try to create a bit of deflation and also cut checks to everyone to make them feel like winners in the moment as they decide midterms.

            Yeah, who ever could have seen the current situation coming, except all the people who were screaming that trump was going to make material conditions objectively worse when he was elected.

            Just like he did last time.

            Can’t really feel much sympathy for the ‘fell for it again’ gold medal winners. We knew this was going to be the result, but voting for a black woman was a step to far.

            People warned them and they ignored it, since the warnings came from the side of the lady with the weird laugh who the gays and trans voted for. It’s unfortunate for them, but I’m not going to shed a tear for people who have helped orchestrate their own demise against all warnings.
