As a non-american this scares me.
What the fuck does Trump have to offer to the average citizen? He is basing his campaign on
- tax cuts for the extra rich
- iMmIgRaNtS (who Harris wants to stop anyways)
- licking the ass of Putin and Nethanyau
Trumps pov is easy to understand, and so heās easy to buy. You only need to stroke Trumps ego and speak his language and heās on your side. Thatās why Republican politicians think they can control him, except heās too neurotic and unstable, likely because of narcissism made worse by dementia.
No one really votes for Republicans, thatās why they have to gerrymander and keep the electoral college alive. Thereās like maybe 35%-37% of the American pop. which really supports their pov. The swing states are only ever an issue because of voter disenfranchisement, not because people actually swing. Very few people actually swing vote.
The electoral college favors Republicans but the narrative that āno one really votes for Republicansā is fucking bullshit
Yes, they tend to lose the popular vote but even then % wise, itās way closer than it should be.
The way you phrase it, makes it seem like they are a fringe group that through cheating manages to win even if they only have half as many votes as the Democrats.
They are popular even with, or perhaps actually because of, all of the racism, sexism and fascist tendencies. Do not downplay that.
As an American, this scares me.
I try to share this site when national pole articles come out, because these are the only numbers that matter in our election. It doesn't matter how blue California is if they rat-fuck the elections in the swing states.
Unfortunately, politics is teams sports in this country. Too many people are concerned with their side winning rather than what is best for the country or even for themselves. The propaganda machine has pushed people to support a small subset of issues as the biggest issues and these are often not the issues that actually have any impact on the day-to-day lives of most Americans. Critical thinking is not part of the discourse anymore for a large percentage, just rhetoric and slogans.
You're not mentioning racism and sexism, which is at least as important as what you're describing.
He is similar to popular non-Americans like Berlusconi, Meloni, Le Pen, and Kickl. Americans aren't unique in that regard.
