They're Never Happy

The moment you understand that MAGA is the party of hate is the moment you understand this election. It explains both Islamic and Latino support for Republicans. They were betrayed by Democrats, and are willing to let the rest of us hang for it. I hope selling out for the center Republicans was worth destroying the demographic coalition.
It's the dixiecrats after we took the one thing they loved: Jim Crow and their ability to be superior to anyone who isn't white.
We even dared to elect a black person president over them, they will NEVER forgive us for that, it went against everything they believe in.
You don't understand, to them this is justice for our unimaginable crimes against them, we took the only thing they had in life.
And that's how the orange turd built a cult...but constantly whining and complaining when Obama was elected. 8 years of slowly stroking the flames, birther crap, pointing out every single minor inconvenience and a failure of the president.
Would be kinda funny to double down and elect a black woman next. Bet they would just love that.
You don't understand them.
He was a MAN, he counted, well, when they didn't call him a monkey.
A woman can be dismissed, anything she does will be considered impotent and meaningless, it doesn't matter.
The south has its own logic, you can't understand without going back 200 years in time.
Wait, isn't she Indian? Did she just BECOME black?

I thought this was always obvious. His whole appeal was 'he says it like it is' and 'he's brave enough to say what we're all thinking'.
That's why scandals didn't affect him, he never pretended to be virtuous like most of the other Republicans do.
A third of people in any society have authoritarian tendencies and will vote for the strong man 'that will set everything straight', and it's always a failure of mainstream politicians that allows these people to get into power (either by not motivating the other 70% to vote for their project, being too divided, or by going into a coalition with that party).

The aversion to reading is always a red flag for me. Reading is a pillar of human intelligence.
For me it depends, reading books is hard for me because it feels like a chore that never ends. Even if it is a thrilling story, it's just hard for me to focus for long enough to make any progress. Might be ADHD idk. But at least I keep reading news articles and other things that are relevant, because obviously I want to stay informed about what's happening in the world, especially when elections are around the corner.
Have you tried an e-Reader? Helped me with my ADHD, went from 0 books a year to about 2 dozen works this year, from fiction to Marxist theory.
