Well, I work the polls in every election and one major difference I saw in 2024 was a surprising number of young, white, slovenly men who were first time voters coming in to vote. They looked like Joe Rogan fans. I'm pretty sure they voted for Trump.
I also think this country is not only very racist but even more misogynistic. If Kamala had been a man, I think Trump would have lost.
Yea, no argument there. I had faith that US will pick Harris. Others told me that I give them too much credit without realizing just how rampant misogyny is over there.
I foolishly convinced myself that "woman leader would be emotional and start a war once a month" mentality was a thing of the past. Especially since so many strong women leaders across the world proved their mettle in my time alive.
They refused a highly educated, accomplished woman for an orange buffoon. They refused another highly educated and accomplished woman despite knowing that the orange buffoon is also a pedophile. Well, they made their bed.
The only silver lining is that the buffoon is hollowing out the empire from within.
