If this was the 1920s you'd have a point. Hell, the 1950s, 60's even.
It's 2024. There's a huge mass of information in every square inch of the world now. There's no excuse for being so goddamned stupid.
Listen to that fucking garbage. "Democratic lies" "We realised things were better then". That's right wing media copypasta if there ever was any.
Absolute fucking shitheaded moron fuck who's screwed us all to ingratiate himself with nazis.
Like I said, be mad if you want. Doesn't change anything. His vote still counts the same as mine and everybody else's. You still live in a world where you need that guy to be on your side. You can either shout at the wind that the world isn't the way you think it should be or figure out how to improve the world that is actually in front of you.
Guy isn't trying to ingratiate himself with anybody. He just told you what he was trying to do—make the world better for himself and his family. In particular, he wants to spend less on groceries. Low information voters might not be able to connect the dots between supreme court nominations, monetary policy, and broad economic trends, but they will unfailingly notice they're spending 20% more on groceries than they did four years ago. You want to point out that it's not the Democrats fault inflation ballooned out of control? I'm right there with you. I voted that way in Pennsylvania. That guy doesn't care. He voted the other way because he wants cheaper groceries and as far as he can tell, Democrats didn't get it done. Calling him a moron and Nazi ally isn't going to change that.
