    These memes demonstrate that Democrats and people who obsess over politics online know nothing, learned nothing, and it wouldn’t surprise me if four years of fascism isn’t enough to change their behavior.

    Yes.

    Voters told Democrats that their biggest concern was poverty and the economy. They not only nominated someone with evident brain damage, but said candidate presided over severe inflation that had workers enduring 2-3 jobs just to be stuck unable to pay for basic necessities, and they wasted two months telling these struggling workers to be joyful, without any irony or concept of how tone-deaf that was.

    Here in deep-red Missouri, we passed a $15 minimum wage and mandatory sick leave in a landslide. We voted down the abortion ban in a landslide. We also elected a Republican for governor and voted Trump as a state.

    This should tell you that yes, the economy was in fact the most important issue on the ballot, not putting women in their place.

      That’s the point. Maybe if people gave a shit about the actual policies they voted in instead of believing republicans waving their hands and saying “economy.” We wouldn’t end up where we will:

      A fascist dictatorship, where your civil liberties are stripped away, corporations have more power, and the middle and working classes are just as bad, if not worse off.

      IMO: If you only voted for trump based on the economy you deserve to face the worst of what this regime is about to bring. If you’re not willing to pay attention to the world around you, stay the fuck out of the voting booth.

        Not a winning message if you want people to vote for your side one day. Dems are going to have to get over themselves and get on other people’s level if they want to win.
