    But the ongoing theme is that “voters voted on the economy” and if you do just the smallest, tiniest bit of research of on one of those magical rectangles we all have in our pocket it’s blindingly obvious that Trump is probably going to screw it all up.

    It’s like everyone turned on Fox News for half an hour and went “yup, this is our guy.”

    We can blame crappy education, but my barely functional public school at least taught us to do our own research at least to some degree.

    I’m not saying the campaign was perfect, but we have to assert at least some effort on the part of the voters — how do you vote for someone only having seen the news or a manufactured social media feed, c’mon.

      I remember my girlfriend, just staring at the TV when that female rapper was literally twerking at one of Kamala’s democrat conventions… and was like “what the fuck is this?” I mean, I get it that celebrities can and do help candidates, but the messages being sent by the Democrats were just crazy… like, it’s all a party and not that serious. And for the record, my lady is Mexican and very liberal…
