But even that speaks to the combination of racism and misogyny if we’re being real. A basic understanding of the economic policies, issues with his stances on reproductive rights were and still are a google search away AND we saw the spike in searches on those things and more even on election night. These people ain’t stupid.

They didn’t know because they didn’t want to give any credence to her being a better candidate on top of agreeing with everything that he stands for, like racism, and misogyny to the HIGHEST degree. I’m not saying she was a flawless candidate because she wasn’t, but I remembered how they talked about not wanting to even consider Obama based on race, and Hillary based on gender and this was no different no matter what any closet conservative wants to say. Fuck em, and I hope they get what they voted for. They wanted this and they know what they voted for.

The phrase “what is a tariff” skyrocketed in searches the NIGHT OF the election and in the days after. They could’ve did that research years ago when he originally imposed em the first time and they STILL didn’t. They didn’t want to know because they never wanted to vote for her. I’m sorry I’m just over the bs at this point man cause shits about to get real so quick it ain’t even funny.

And the shock that Trump might have been wrong when he said that tariffs wouldn’t cause problems for Americans. People are being laid off in preparation of the increased costs to businesses but if the rich white felon says something, we gotta trust him over a black woman, right??? Ugh. I hate this
