To be clear, I don’t think they have any blame in the election—that was 100% white men—just that their vote seems like a counter intuitive choice

That said, I agree with Mista Kotta that a lot of voters who touted their pro-Palestine bona fides and publicly Trump last year are weirdly silent today

Mista Kotta’s post was not about who to blame for Trump winning. It was about the thought process of otherwise liberal voters who supported Trump because Harris was not sufficiently pro Palestinian for them, and Trumps post election treatment of Gaza.

Under Biden, dominant corporations used supply chain issues as a cover story to increase profits, driving inflation. Now tariffs seem to be providing the new cover story as wholesale prices soar. Of course, the underlying problem is insufficient competition in too many markets.
