this is not a popular opinion these days but people have agency. people are in control of the choices they make. no one is forced to do anything.

the leopards are already preparing their feast
Results have already started. This is from an american woman today: My husband works for a small manufacturing company and here in southwestern PA that means most employees are Trump voters. When the president of the company sat them down today to tell them their annual Christmas bonus would not come this year because they now need to purchase at least a years worth of products prior to January 21 st due to the proposed tariffs, they did not understand. My husband said that their president had to explain what a tariff is and how it will directly hurt their company. They all thought the foreign company paid the tariff. This is the level of ignorance voting against their own interests here in PA, where we failed American women and children last night

What the dems should have done here is run wall-to-wall ads during NFL games saying “The rapist campaign is constantly talking about trans kids because they want to distract from JD Vance directly funding churches that sexually abuse kids. They are groomers trying to blame others. Stop Pedo Trump.”

From CNN’s Brian Stelter:
One media exec I know put it this way: "If the RNC announced tomorrow that its primary strategy going forward would be to put $100 billion into a disinformation machine designed to convince people they live in a fictitious hellscape of airliners falling out of the sky because of DEl, we would cover the operations of that disinformation machine on an everyday basis as the biggest political story in America. That machine exists. It's called right-wing media."

Even if you think the US has shifted to the right, it’s taken for granted that that justifies Harris’ courting of conservatives. Leaders ought to *influence* public opinion, not just run to catch up to it! Imagine if Harris had forcefully defended trans rights, immigrants, split from Biden on Gaza…

Trump 2020: 74,223,975
Trump 2024: 71,353,267
Difference: -2,870,708

Biden 2020: 81,283,501
Harris 2024: 66,415,656
Difference: -14,867,845

Trump actually lost support since ‘20, but Harris’ courting of Republicans (95% of whom voted for Trump!) collapsed Biden’s ‘20 coalition.

I feel like I legitimately almost blew a blood vessel reading this. How fucking stupid do you have to be to look at the past 12 years and think "surely if we act more like the Republicans, a party that already exists that people will vote for over our craven imitation, that will work."
