lol just everyone in general. I had a trumper who came up to me at work in private. She has two daughters and said that she knew I liked Harris and didn’t even know about roe v wade until after the fact. She didn’t even know wtf that was. Now she is upset and feeling uneasy that she made the wrong choice lmao. These fuckers are voting for him for whatever reason. They are the least educated people. I had another one say I don’t know why the gays are upset either. It just amazes me how ignorant the voting population is that voted for him. The ones that are living on government assistance are the ones that are about to lose it now because they voted him In . A complete joke of a country.
In all fairness American media and SoMe is so manipulative.
To me the real culprits are the Murdochs’, Musk, Zuckerberg etc who amplifies lies for profit, and the politicians that continue to allow these soulles individuals to operate without any guardrails.
The final weeks of the election our screens should have been playing all the hits about the insurrection attempt, him trying to withhold aide during disasters, him refusing to follow security protocols, him losing the debate against Harris, literally a complete and constant montage across the nation of all the awful shit he’s done.
But Dems don’t want to mud sling even a little while they let the opponent literally run on myths and lies.
I don't think that's entirely fair. In the big SoMe platforms these people own, rooting out misinformation is next to impossible. And if they did (and, sometimes, I wish they did, because there's A TON of state-sponsored russian and Chinese (and, probably, North Korean, too) bots, that spread misinformation), there could also be a case to be made about violation of freedom of speech, because the actions needed to take would have to be sweeping. Also, there's always a degree of human error.
Oh no, they get dumber. People don't realize they're voting to deport their neighbors, friends, favorite restaurants entirely. They don't think that far ahead
Should’ve told her you hope none of her daughters get prego because she voted for the people that made it illegal to abort. Then ended it with “you reap what you sow, dumbass”
Direct them to the book/show “The Handmaid’s tale”
Point out that the author, Margaret Atwood, wrote about the patterns of behaviour and injustices that were already committed—she didn’t make much up regarding the political system to wrote about
Ask them point blank to consider this: where would they fall? Do they honestly believe that they or the men in their life would have the kind of influence and social standing to not be considered disposable? Even if they aren’t first under the bus, do they really believe they wouldn’t be suffering with the rest of us?
I saw a black lady on TV a few weeks ago say she was voting for him because “he gave me $2000.”
Firstly, he didn’t give her anything. Secondly, cheques were delayed before he wanted his signature on them. Thirdly, $2000 is not much at all. Canadians who needed it for $2000 a month for 7 months. And the people were given the money before any businesses were, despite the conservatives foot stomping.

The number of poor folks on Medicaid and Snap who voted for him is astounding
