That's basically my take too.

I have some sympathy and empathy to the average Trump voter. If they live in a place like an industrial Ohio city - it must be maddening for them to hear Biden say "Bidenomics is working," and then he mentions numbers. Every day - day in and day out - they can see, hear, and experience that their city is dead and getting worse while most of the neighboring cities and towns are dead too. And then they turn on Fox News and there's a clip of somebody like Joy Reid saying "Trump voters are in a cult and so easily mislead. What's wrong with them?..."

Trump and the republicans will never do anything to help them but neither will Biden and the democrats. From their perspective by voting for Trump they feel that they can give a middle finger to the establishment.

But I only have hate for people like Sibarium. I assume he's never worked a day in his life. He doesn't have terrible opinions because of circumstances in his life or in the lives of people he knows or loves. None of them were broken by the system. They are the system. He has awful opinions because he's an awful person.

Final thought. I know I'm yelling into the void but the dems (along with Biden) could come out with something for each state like "A plan for Ohio" where they say what they will do to improve things. Stop talking about fucking numbers. And Biden could scrap his 100% uninspiring, self-serving 2024 slogan - "Let's finish this job".
