...I saw an intense focus from both of our candidates on middle class economic concerns.

It's not as if pretending like the president controls the price of groceries to appeal to the stupidity that was propagandized by republicans and believed by some of his voters might work... for a republican, maybe.

Either Trump voters didn't care about any of what they claimed, knew it was a pack of lies and thought that was a fine and dandy political tactic, or they're the stupidest people on the planet.

People need to stop trying to get us to bend reality to characterize these people who would vote to put a convicted felon in the White House - frickin convicted of election fraud.

There is a deep ignorance in America. That appears to be beyond our ability to effectively inform at this point in time, because the moron who once bankrupted most of the country was believed more.

My suggestion is to not only keep saying what we were saying, but say it louder now as reality envelops those vulnerable and supposedly struggling voters from states run by republicans who don't believe in helping anyone but themselves to the taxpayers dollars as they demagogue and propagandize everything.

Make sure to remind them what they did when it happens, and don't be shy about it.
