1. That's exactly right. You put your finger on it.

2. We had a brief reprieve from some of the bullshit for 4 years.

3. Apathy

Apathy is why we lost. Look at the voter turnout compared to 2020.

4. While that certainly comes into play, I believe economic ignorance of the masses is the primary reason.

People seem to think the economy is in shambles (probably due to prices) even though the economy is in the best shape it has been in for decades and is undoubtedly one of the strongest in the world.

Still, people think things are awful because they are still angry about sticker shock. Little do they know that feeling is not going away as prices are going to skyrocket very soon as irony and karma come for those believe the economy is in very bad shape right now.

7. If they don't like the prices now, they're going to hate losing Social Security & Medicare ...

this was a very short-sighted decision on their parts.

5. White supremacists are happy.

They'll subjugate everyone else.

[Colgate 64]

6. True, that.

Those sentiments have always been there. But Doofus gave them permission to use them and voice them out loud. He "liberated" them so they now feel empowered to p**s on the rest of us, which they cheerfully did last night.
