Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked for the stories of people who split their ballots between Donald Trump and either her or another downballot Democrat. Here’s what they said.

    TL;DR: more brain-dead fools who, at their core, genuinely do care about the working class but are too stupid to see the mountain of evidence to show that Trump’s “love” for the working class is as real as unicorn farts. Others also want “change” even if that change is them going from having rights to not having rights, and a few are the worthless protest voters as well.

    I honestly still don’t get it, but I don’t have the level of brainrot of these people so maybe that’s a good thing.

      They aren’t stupid. They’re reacting intelligently to the information they’ve been saturated in. Unfortunately that information is maliciously poor.

        They’re dumb as shit.

        Misinformation is ample & fully aware “the impressionables” get targeted on social media… but unless they’ve been living on a different planet they’re fully aware of Trump’s history. His felony convictions alone were global news.

        I said that years ago but times change. The nonsense they need to convince themselves of is absolutely wild and it must take a herculian daily effort on their part to maintain their collective insanity if we decide to say they aren’t stupid.

        So much of what they hear should qualify as the moment they went “hey, wait a second” but they just keep on going deeper and deeper. They are fools and everyone else needs to deal with that.

        Not to mention the fact that democrats/liberals have consistently failed to counter message against this propaganda or even acknowledge the issues that face americans.

        All this republican nazi propaganda is blatant. Nobody gets the excuse of thinking any of it’s true. It presents as horseshit, not even as some genuine misunderstanding.

      You are not going to win 2028 by making fun of republicans. Honestly you look pathetic to me. You’re on lemmy shitting on republicans as a way to make yourself feel better about losing the election, it’s sad.

      Pick yourself up, wake the fuck up, and spend your energy on something that is actually productive. For example, holding the democratic party responsible for their shitty policies and absolute dog shit campaign.
