And we're still discussing it separately from the literal violence being done. An ICE truck parked outside a business effectively shuts down a whole strip mall because people won't come near it out of fear of being kidnapped, beaten, tortured, or worse. It's literally happening in my community right now.

it's been sort of working, but more and more I have heard former trump supporters calling out the bullshit themselves, Half of them weren't hardcore maga, and those who were maga wanted to see pedos and rich corrupt people pay. Trump embodied both those aspects so they ditched him. They still get a lot of wrong, but they're headed in the right direction. The whole "own the libs" types who will follow Trump into hell are the issue now. I just heard someone tell me "Trump owns the middle east, he's a CEO and a businessman, Iran already lost and we're seeing record numbers of oil shipments now that he controls Iran. It's the democrats controlling the oil prices that are trying to ruin him!"
Like, these people live in an alternate reality where only things they like to hear are real.
The sadder cases are people who buy up corporate "Left wing" shit as well. "this is why *insert corporation here* is woke!"
Which was funny when most of those companies started taking the mask off in summer of 2024, knowing damn well they were about to manipulate the upcoming election in favor of a guy who was going to let them get away with doing illegal shit

The safety nets have been privatized by being replaced by employment benefits, which isn't a guaranteed thing (see all the psycho levels of layoffs for the past few years).

A lot of overlapping issues in all honesty.
Party loyalty is important to a very large group of people (this is for both sides), so people will vote red or blue without being informed
Antagonizing the opposite party leads people to believe that their 'side' is correct no matter how bad things are.
Lack of involvement/research. I know a lot of people on Reddit will say that everyone should be informed, but there's a large group of people in America that do not have the time or energy to do proper research into politics. IF these people vote, it'll likely be with whichever party affiliation aligns with their family.
Speaking of family, party affiliation is pretty strongly tied with family. So if someone's family is republican, then they are more likely to also be republican.
The Democratic party have not focused on topics that independents care about in recent years. Trans rights are important, but most people are simply indifferent on those issues. If you want more insight into this, the Democratic party released an article on how they failed to secure the presidential and congress elections recently (It's called "Planning To Win" or something along those lines, it's can't find it due to midterm news flooding).
While controversial, especially here on Reddit, they have not catered towards the average white male as much as the Republican party has. Things like DEI only create fewer opportunities for them, which begs the question, why would they vote for that? Keep in mind that this is roughly 30% of the total voter base in America.
There are more reasons beyond this, but Trump's approval rating being in the gutter should tell you than many people changed their minds after the fact. Which helps now with midterms legislation, but not with the executive branch.
EDIT: The article is called Deciding to Win and is a very interesting read.

Republicans are the ones that have pushed the focus on trans rights, as they have no other platform to stand on. Democrats have to respond, otherwise the bigots would win. Which plays to Republican's favor.
they have not catered towards the average white male as much as the Republican party has. Things like DEI only create fewer opportunities for them, which begs the question, why would they vote for that?
How has the Republican party catered to white men in anything other than words? DEI and AA were put into place because of discriminatory hiring practices by companies. When black people make up ~13% of the country, and hold ~4% of the wealth, how can you say that they have been advantaged in any way? Because conservatives, the ideology that fought against integrati0n, says that people of color are going to take your job? And this shit still works on you in the 21st century? That's sad as fuck.

u/BlackTecno 1h ago
To your first point, that's not something I pulled out of nowhere. Again this is taken from the Democratic party themselves in an article and website published by them called Deciding to Win.
To the second point, I said that the Republican party has catered more to white men, and more particularly men as a whole. If you look at that article, the mention of men in the Democratic party's policies and speeches dropped by 50%, whereas the mention of fathers dropped by, and I am not kidding here, 100%. While issues like LGBTQ+ rose in topics by over 1000%.
I'm just the messenger here, please do not shoot me.

1/3-1/2 of the US is essentially third world countries cosplaying as a super power country. If every state became independent, the purely red states would be the "shithole" countries they hate so much where all the immigrants are coming from. republican policies don't work and never have. They only continue to exist because they are propped up by more successful blue states

On the bright side, Trump is exposing how fragile our system already was. Doesn't mean he shouldn't rot in prison with what little time he has left for what he's doing to this country, but after the devastation is over, perhaps we have an opportunity to build back better as another old man once said.

I wouldn't say "only" makes things worse. If some red voters realize that they made a poor decision, having that pointed out might cause them to vote better in the future.
But more realistically, it will entice non voters to vote! Hopefully intelligently!

In it's natural habitat, there is great variation from American to American. Prone to infighting and tribalism, it is difficult to distinguish the various nuances that can make up a US citizen's clan. While there are many branches, evidence leads scientists to posit that many Americans share a common ancestor. Take the above comment as an example- in preparation for a fight: US Citizenus Redditus displays several threat signals - Mockery, disparaging gendered language, and a refusal to take responsibility for the actions of the tribe around them. It is a brilliant evolutionary technique, as it allows the individual to mimic the threat displays of the Alpha American- whilst distancing oneself from the energy intensive process of self reflection. By engaging in this instinctual dance, the American exhibits dominance over their foreign counterpart.
While lost to history, many theorists believe the Founding Father most likely to be the progenitor of this line was John Adams, famous for insulting friends and foes alike. Benjamin Franklin is another leading candidate, as his reproductive strategy was unparalleled in his time - though many have doubts, as he understood French.
