The Trump messaging was really pretty brilliant. Despite its simplicity, it was incredibly effective. He asked people if they felt like they were better off today than they were four years ago, a majority said no, and that's all it took.
THE FUCK?! What the fuck was the "Trump messaging"?!
THEY'RE EATING THE CATS?!
Brilliant now. Jesus FUCKING CHRIST.
I've seen a lot of people saying this kind of thing. "Trump's message was simpler, easier to understand"
The double standard is insane. Harris had actual plans and explained them, meanwhile Trump can't finish a single cohesive thought. Bonkers. Anyone who listened to Trump speak for more than 60 seconds and still voted for him is braindead and you cannot convince me otherwise.
This is it right here. Especially toward the end of the campaign. These 'uneducated rubes' had no problem decrying how old and nonsensical Biden was.... and there was a lot of feedback from people near the end that Trump sounded like he was 'trying to lose'. They left his rallies in droves while he droned on after being 3 hours late to start with.

It's worse than uneducated, it's worse than disinterested. It sure feels like idiocracy at this point.
There are about a million different events I could point to and say "I can't believe he won after that", but among them was the 40 minute dance party instead of answering any questions. Imagine Kamala getting away with that.
