That's why many union workers turned hard Trumpy in the 2020's especially. They grokked that Dems, by definition, are not a party primarily geared toward suffering and pain on an "enemy". And at least in the Biden era, that's what they wanted. More than jobs, more than stability, more than life.
Not sure what to do about that, to be honest. America writ large wanted to see what it was like to be ruled by an administration whose only talent was destruction and inflicting "punishment". We had to touch that hot stove. We'll have to learn the suicidality of that course the hard way, I guess.
They don’t vote for him for asense of missing or good times past where people were secure. Or a desire to be ruled by a despot. It’s just racism, & you either can’t or won’t see it. As long as he blames others for people’s problems, even if those problems are fabricated they will vote for him.
You nailed it.
Racism is included in all that. And I do see it. I just see it as part of a broader psychosis.
Ego, pride, and prejudice bought Trump the election! I see it!
bsky.app/profile/ones... It's very deep indeed. And fused with a loooot of sheer dumbness, hate & perverted/ inversed christian values. They have basically modelled an antichrist cult
