    I get it’s ‘the US’ because he was voted in but it’s not the US it’s one fucking moron. Our country bumkins are misinformed idiots that got him to power, yes, but population centers aka well educated folks are blue and we fucking hate every minute of this shit. Hence demonstrations at all state capitols multiple times over the last 2 months. Idk I’m probably making a moot point. I just can’t stand being thrown in a pile with the current administration, him winning or not, none of this is okay.

      most of the educated are blue, alot of them are also red, because they fell for the misinformation while growing up, and through the bitterness in lack of career advancement because the major they chose dint lead them to one. i followed some asian tubers once, and they were all college educated, but they turned pretty maga during pandemic and a defensive coping mechanism from being called out for mistreatment of a employment, turns out they were always right wingers and shitty people, when people digged up thier social media/and past how badly they treated thier employees.

      the 2 channel owners were college educated, but they are so misinformed on things, and very low info they fell for joe roegan,and shapiro, or whatever right winger was on the time.

      Bit tired of hearing this NGL, the problem is with your entire country and frankly that includes casting off the American rural poor as “idiotic country bumkins”. Stuff like that is exactly what will turn them away from your ideals & into the hands of those pointing at the snobbish urban elites looking down at them.

        as if telling them otherwise is going to make them suddenly turn them against the right wingers, lol they have been conditioned by propaganda, eg mainly through fox and rush limbaugh for a generations and from birth. there are other factors to consider like heavy voter suppression in the states, that prevent any Dems from winning many elections, nobody is going to hold the hands of REPUBLICANS to vote against thier own party

      You Americans being so dismissive of other people is exactly how this happened in the first place.

      Remember when people were calling out how gender affirming care policies had gone too far and those people were written off as bigots? Then it turned out that a bunch of ideologues had hijacked the processes in several countries and were issuing puberty blockers and hormones with barely any consultation, then suppressed evidence that unchecked use of puberty blockers and hormones was actively harming people?

      Remember when it turned out that droplet theory was bullshit and cloth masks don’t actually block COVID but we kept trucking along like they did?

      Remember when Democrats told people facing hard times that the economy was doing great, even as the number of homeless was shooting up and inflation was going wild?

      These and others are the kinds of lies that make people lose trust in authorities. Doubling down on them only made it worse. And before someone chimes in with a list of Republican / right-wing versions of this: yes I know they do the same thing, but telling people that as if that makes what “your side” did any better is stupid. The idea is to tell them about the lies on both sides so that they realize you’re not just another tribal moron. Tell the truth, gain some trust, and maybe you’ll see you share more in common than you’ve been lead to believe.

        you are arguing in bad faith, lol nothing what you said was true. who the fuck was giving out free hormones, and people with genetic conditions take hormones because thier bodies cant produce any,

        the mask issue wasnt evena big deal lol.
