That many people from his previous administration and own party coming out against his character issues? It's unprecedented. Mind boggling.
Plus January 6th and all his legal problems(plus convictions). That whole government documents circus.
And we have collectively looked past this and put him back in office? He won the GOP PRIMARY?! I know people aren't "feeling the economy vibes" but dang.
- jfengel 2y agoI'm not really convinced of the "economy" argument. It's easy to make, but there is no reason to think that the other guy is actually any better. They may not be thrilled with where they are now, but they were not noticeably better off four years ago. Some are worse off; some are better; many are about the same. It's just not sufficient to explain electing a literal criminal. I'm sure it figures in somewhere, but I don't think it's anywhere near enough to explain the situation.
- Rapzid 2y agoThey've mapped polls showing economy being the biggest voter issue and correlated that with voter behavior. Also, they mapped the counties highest hit by wages trailing inflation in PA.. They flipped for Trump from Biden this round. It's a referendum on the current party in office, so people just want change and that was promised to them heavily by Trump. But man.. Trump wasn't the only other choice. There was a whole GOP primary lol.
