For the sake of argument, let’s say Trump won on the issue of the economy and “fixing it” to work for the work class who has largely been ignored politically by congress.
That is a one issue voter, and at least the folks I’ve seen around here focus on the economics, so it’s relevant for our interests to focus on that.
This. This is the problem with the one issue vote. Trump is, being charitable, not very good at running a business, let alone a country, and so his choices to run the various federal agencies that make up the government will invariably be bad. We’ve already seen the effects of this “management philosophy”, and will continue to see the effects in the form of actual harm to the folks that live in the United States (and harm to folks around the world, but one thing at a time).
The myopia of the voter, whether it’s here on HN or elsewhere, causes this harm. I don’t know how to fix this issue, because a one issue voter is notoriously difficult to reason with, but it’s what we are facing, whether that issue is the economy, abortion, or trans-fearmongering.
