So why did they win?
So why did they win?
The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don't quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

Honestly, it's difficult for me to mind meld into a republican. Their messaging always sounds to me like "shit sucks and it's supposed to suck. I want you to go fuck yourself and live a life full of toil as I tighten the screws because I want to profit off of it! I do not want to know what other cultures are like." And then they all start cheering wildly. Their boogeymen make my skin crawl. I don't see a lot of trans people and blue haired feminists causing civil unrest. I think generally messaging and education enable people to say that feminists want a choice and a fair shot. Not that you should even endeavor to be seen as acceptable through their lens; in my experience that's an intractable fool's game that becomes a barrier to living a life full of that which you find important. In addition I am simply stupified that the Dems can take the torch for the border wall and take the project higher and still the Republicans call Dems the party of illegal immigrants. That should be your crown jewel as a country of ashes and cruelty. Then of course you have your firm base of racism and sexism - they'd codify men and women can't be friends + you were assigned one at birth" on day 1 if they could.
But what I do know is how to fucking hate liberals. You can build a house on that shit. I can even conceive of the right wing attack as well. You get all the WEF "eat ze bugs" rhetoric where they're trying to put you in cages and allow you to scream in the Amazon mindfulness cubes. They think you're the party of HR and big tech (spiderman pointing at spiderman). They think you're the warhawk who wants to babysit the middle east (sometimes, other times they also want to). You'd hate how INCREDIBLY corrupt they are; their messaging is like a sponsorship from a big company that you hate (spiderman pointing at spiderman). They siphon everything nice for themselves and they (spidey senses) cheat at the stock market. I bet all sorts of foul shit happened in Ukraine. I bet all sorts of shit happened with Diddy and Epstein. I bet foul shit of both types is still happening.
So I could comprehend doing a harm reduction by being a republican if I never knew about socialism and still hated the libs. I could never imagine in a million years being excited because my boss is going to save so much money by dumping shit into rivers.
