      There are a lot of racists in this country. They never went away, really… They just got shamed into (mostly) silence. Trump makes them feel brave again, because he’s just like them.

      The morons pay taxes and have to be represented as well… It just sucks, that, apparently, it’s ~50% of the US.

      He has said the sickest shit I’ve ever heard from a presidential candidate, yet, the reporting is easy beyond belief with Trump and media tries to reframe any Harris positive with passive language until it sounds like a problem.

        They (media) are probably afraid that if Harris is elected, the news will become mundane and boring, unlike Trump, and their readership (and thus revenue) will drop.

      Nobody who is undecided or voting for Trump reads the Atlantic. It’s like screaming into the void.

      It fucking sucks, but i think he is going to win. Half of this country is so fucking stupid, we deserve a horrible piece of shit for a president.

          Because a lot of people don’t care until it impacts them, because they’re a special rainbow and everyone else is the problem or not relevant in their eyes.

        people give trump such a big platform his outreach is incomparable.

        American politics are just sports for some people and “my team” will win no matter what because the other team “the libs” will lose! I gain satisfaction from people “losing”
