The problem with everything written, there is some truth to it. Also people talk and write in riddles to avoid direct confrontation.

These threads quickly teach you who you can't take seriously at all, lol.

It goes without saying that as North American society has become more progressive, right wing parties have set their sights on the uneducated, gullible, and just plain stupid voters. People a grifter can easily convince to vote against their own best interests.

Forty years ago, Donald Trump would have been laughed out of the Republican party. Today he is the Republican party.

Uneducated are better than drug addicts, freeloaders and mental patients. With your brain you can infer who has more chances of understanding reality and facts.
Just to illustrate my point, seven out of ten states with the highest rates of drug overdose deaths are red states. Further, on average, blue states contribute more money to the federal government in tax money, than they receive, while red states have a much higher tendency to be the welfare states who take more money than they give. And of course two of the most profitable economies in the US, and the world, are the ones supporting most of the population. Surprisingly, Republicans absolutely hate those fiscally successful states, and think they're about the worst states in the union. Makes sense, right?

So, it quickly becomes a waste of time to address people who just make up blatant lies, and whose biggest rebuttal is "TDS, huh huh, I win!"

And yes, Republican voters also tend to be less educated than Democrat voters. But you don't really care about those facts, either.

Republicans also tend to have lower earning jobs, making them poorer, and more likely to live in rural areas. So they're poor, dumb people, voting against their own interests.

But hey, again, it's not like facts ever matter to those people I've already described, who aren't really worth taking seriously. Because as shown here, the conversation doesn't really go anywhere, and they just result to silly Trump insults, and not much of anything else. And then they think that there's some big conspiracy against their childish insults in each reply. 🙄

but that isn't really what happened

a few more voted for the grifter

but far more didn't vote for the "progressive"

so it's not just the unedumacated, gullible, stupid

it's average people, the ,middle who rejected the woke bullshit and

simply didn't vote, with a few that did switch

if the Dems don't learn from that, they're going to keep losing to the nuts from the right

because of how their system works

no. those who do not have a religious level of ideological worship voted for an economic change candidate.

in the aftermath of COVID, western democracies have had a major victory in recovery... but there is lasting change (higher prices) and the very administrations that pulled these economies from the brink are being held responsible for those changes.

most polls show this. that the economy was the one issue that Trump won on and one that Harris could not win on because she was part of the last administration.

I believe my own eyes and experiences, I travelled to both Red and Blue states many times and have seen with my own eyes where is it visible and rampant. SF, NY were the worst.
The drug problem is everywhere but when it become visible in public places, cause inconveneince to others, without push back, shows that what are govt policies on it.

Your claim about uneducated, under paid people voting for rep is false. 49.8% people voted for Trump and you are syaing they are less educated and low paid workers.
I dont deny the fact that all kind of people voted for him but generalising Dems voter as educated and wise and Rep voters are dumb is amusing.

You are also saying you know best for voters than Republican voters themselves, sounds like Charlatan. lol

Context is in the post I replied to. He is suggesting Trump favors uneduacted because they dont know about reality and facts. So my text is saying people preferred by other party has this problem and not related to education.
I recommed reading comments in the context, reading individual random comment will not make any sense.
What do you mean Dems prefer addicts, freeloaders and mental patients?

Convicted Rapist to be Sentenced Tomorrow in Porn Star Hush Money Case


President-elect Donald Trump can be sentenced Friday in his New York hush money case, the Supreme Court said in a 5-4 ruling.

The high court on Thursday rejected Trump’s emergency request to delay the proceeding, setting the stage for him to be sentenced just days before he is inaugurated on January 20 for a second term.

Four conservative justices – Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – said they would have granted Trump’s request. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the court’s three liberals to side against Trump.

The cool thing about the stuff I'm telling you, is that you don't have to just take my word for it, as I can back up everything with verifiable facts:

https://www.politico.com/interactives/2022/midterm-election-house-districts-by-education/

https://www.pewresearch.org/politic...profiles-of-republican-and-democratic-voters/

https://www.insidehighered.com/news...white-people-vote-differently-based-education

Every metric on education that I have ever seen, all say exactly the same thing. It's a pretty overwhelming trend.

And the same carries over to red vs blue states in regards to income levels, which isn't surprising, given that the largest economies come from overwhelmingly blue states:

Lol Is your twisted mind thinking that Elon might give NASA a pass ??? Not that he would be the self serving type as we all know...🧐😉
SpaceX may be offering a buy 2 flights get a third free offer to nasa. Maybe he plans to double or triple the nasa budget as a result.
Sounds legit.

Lol You are anticipating or thinking along the line of loopy Elon.... I would not be surprised that you'd be right after his antics of this past few years.

and now the circus clowns begin their reign of economic terror! haaha!

House GOP puts Medicaid, ACA, climate measures on chopping block

the "felon in chief" and GOP's MO is to renew the Trump tax cuts that will add another $10T to the national debt. that $10T going directly into the pockets of the richest Americans.

but that pesky debt ceiling! so they are going to attempt to rifle through seniors benefits, health care for the poor and infrastructure spending to find that money for the billionaire boys club! of course, you can't bleed a stone so they have only been able to identify $5.6T in cuts that even they can stomach.

mind you, Trump is not a "fiscal conservative"... they never are. he has repeatedly suggested that the US get rid of the debt ceiling so that his ilk can just shovel cash into their own pockets.

the "felon in chief" will claim that he inherited such a mess (the economy being stronger than its been in US history) that billionaires need more money.

Greenland, Greenland, Greenland... look over here!

Trump knows his followers have an attention span measured in seconds.
His last tax cuts bill had increases in the later years but no magats bothered reading it.

major victory in a recovery?

lol hahaha

where the fuck have you been for the last 4 yrs?

how fucking much moronic of a statement can you make?

they caused the downturn with their stupid policies, made it worse with their welfare for all plan

that's why they're being held "responsible" cause they fucking are responsible for their actions

they overreacted badly, like the left wing nuts they are, throw money at it and it will take care of it, just like the nuts on the right think you can cut anything and it will trickle down

trickle everywhere doesn't work either

it was the "feeling" of the economy, plus policies that led to those feelings that they voted against

most of which were woke bullshit, like the "green" shit

which isn't resonating with the average person's pocketbook
