“For a lot of people — not just stupid people lost in all the flim flam of Trumpism, normal people who maybe just don’t read a lot of like Slate dot com or whatever — that was it”.

“He felt like there was a guy who liked the things he liked and would fight for him, and that being in that arena and supporting that guy gave him power. I know that this is simplistic. People are smarter and more nuanced”

No they’re not. People are dumb and simple cattle. Have you seen the spike in Google results for “why isn’t Biden on the ticket”. What kind of life do you live that it doesn’t even permeate your existence even a little that Harris is the one running for president? I’m tired of having to carry the weight for normal people. Read a fucking book, take a fucking class to learn the economics you should have learned in the 11th grade. Google “will tariffs actually drive down costs”. Fucking sheeple (Harris won the “people who are politically engaged” by double digits, you don’t need to have alternate between New York magazine and the New Yorker to turn off whatever reality dreck you consume to numb the monotony of your existence to go “which person might give me a better out on my life sucking”
