IMO that's way off base. People want change. They know they're getting screwed, and the grifter is promising change. He's lying and I think most people know that, but the fact that they'd take a convicted felon over what the DNC offered up is a crushing repudiation.
Bernie would've mopped the floor with Trump, because he also offers change. Someone like Obama would've too, even though there was a paucity of actual change during his terms.
We need to drag the DNC kicking and screaming off of the corporate dick it's sucking, and get it left enough to offer real change, and people will vote for it in droves.
How is voting for a literal past president any kind of change? America chose hate and blame this week.
He will bring lots of change. None of it good, but the DNC should view that as a crushing repudiation of their approach. They can't even blame the Electoral College, they fucked up that badly. Hopefully they'll learn a goddamn thing or two and run someone offering positive change.
It was incredibly hard to fight the constant youtube and tiktok right-wing extremism that they've been fed. They've been taught to hate women and minorities so much that they vote for literal Hitler.
If you're just some dude, and you've got youtubers saying "you matter and you're cool" on the one hand, and "cis white men suck #KillAllMen", what do you think you'd be attracted to? That's a generalization of course, but identity politics has got to go. We need more of this aesthetic on the left:
Not that exact poster obviously, but we need something that gives people a vision of the future and makes it cool. Until that happens, get ready for more Trump and his ilk.
Or, so,ething needs to be done about the massive fucking foreign influence from hostile foreign countries. Of course, it allowed the coming fzctionmto sieve power, so it will just get worse.
If things didn't suck for so many people, they would've been casting seeds onto stone. It's much, much harder to radicalize someone that's content. Instead, the messages found fertile ground. The solution isn't to just ignore the issue and say "actually everything's fine, look at numbers go up!". It's to give people hope that you're actually fixing the issue.
The entire world experienced massive inflation. Biden's policies brought us out of it better than most 1st world nations. People seem to think trump will bring prices back down. They apparently don't know that deflation is even worse than inflation.
