      In a large way it is. We know people don’t know what the politicians are. They voted for reform. Part of that reform was no Wars, to end this globalization bullshit, to make the rich screwing us pay. Because the Democrats refused to pursue those the Republicans were able to lie about them pursuing them. This all just shows a real muscular reform candidate could win overwhelmingly and Usher in 100 Years of prosperity like FDR did.

        Yep. People need hope for a better future, not to be showed charts and insist everything is fine when that is not their lived experience

        The Democrats promised more of the same, Trump boldly lied and promised to fix everything with simple, nonsensical solutions

        There’s still the diehard fascists and death cultists, but that’s a much smaller slice than it seems from the media
