    How does one reconcile the fact that Black and Hispanic voters are dropping off the Democratic party? Is it possibly because of failed policies? Is it possible Trump is getting more voters because of the representation of something people resonate with, versus the current status quo: measles outbreaks, welfare states, economic failures (inflation, everyone in the US is losing in this equation except the top 1%), the list goes on but the idea is still the same… an old failing man in office who needs to be removed.

      @TangledHyphae @Nudding US voters have been very effectively conditioned to accept the two party system and to place outsized importance on the president and largely ignore the legislative and judicial branches of government. If you’re not happy, your only answer is to vote for the major party not occupying the White House, even if that party currently controls congress and offers even worse policies. Critical thinking is systematically squashed.

      Some people are single issue voters that are missing the very big signs that Trump wants to be a dictator
