FEMA Didn’t Answer Thousands of Calls From Flood Survivors

The voters very much put Trump in office. He won the popular vote. They knew exactly what they were getting.

The outrage and culture wars are not what the 100k deciding voters across 3 states based their choice on. Half of voters pay zero attention to the news and politics.

It was mainly prices, which historically has been a very common deciding factor. If people feel pain in their pocket book, they will give someone else a shot. They also remembered feeling better financially pre-covid

It’s become increasingly clear that at least some of them did not consider the negative impacts of a second Trump term’s policies on their personal lives and are now having to bear the violent results of that awful realization.

Because your feelings get hurt when the con artist you chose as your champion has his own words and deeds described accurately? And this justifies spitefully wrecking the country by supporting an unhinged autocrat whose motives sit somewhere between manic dementia and serving foreign interests? And still rather than acknowledging this might have been a poor idea, you double down with some idea that it was justified simply to have expressed yourself, even though the first question out of every second Democrat's mouth is how to reconcile and find common ground with Republicans?

Look man, I'm a libertarian. I get the frustration and I totally understood why someone would vote for Trump in 2016. But after seeing his first round of abject failure and wanton dividership and then voting for even more of that, you deserve every ton of criticism heaped on you. This was really the time to put country above partisan squabbling, and you failed horribly.

Depending on which flavor of outrage you prefer, this could apply to either party.

If you are trying to imply democrats should be nicer to republicans, that was disproven over years.

Conservatives consistently prefer the most offensive insulting person around. And calls on left to make it nicer just move overtone window to the right. Conservatives interpret it as a weaknees.

Plus, it causes forever shift where republicans are euphemismed around, sanewashed and consistentky made to look better. That is failing strategy.

No, it really couldn't. I don't know why you think it could.

Hey, whatever happened to those Epstein files Trump promised?

A majority of voters voted for candidates other than Trump.
