"It's simple, really, I'm just a piece of shit who doesn't give a fuck about anyone but myself and I'm dumb enough to think that our beloved Leader won't fuck us when he starts fucking the rest of the country"
More like "it's simple really. I'm spending $1 more on eggs than I did during a pandemic, so I'm gonna vote for the person taking photos with breakfast food"
I'm not sure how much this explains the Latino vote, but I heard some pundit yesterday make a halfway decent point about how a $1 increase hits harder when you live in a rural area where wages tend to be lower to begin with.
Yeah. But wages are low because they refuse to address any sort of wage legislation too. They keep kicking themselves in the dick and then wonder why their crotch hurts.
It must be the taxes! You know, the ones they either already don’t pay or wouldn’t pay if they could read literally any details about the proposed tax.
The taxes, set by the Trump administration in 2017, that somehow (fucking idiots) never got on their radars. You know, since they were worried about taxes, or money so much...
People have a hierarchy of needs. If they can't eat correctly while working, they'll put “democracy” and ”rights” (even their own) after their stomach… and it's understandable. Of course Trump will bring no solution but Harris even proposed no solution.
Other than lower taxes and the historical democratic interest in the minimum wage?
