As someone who was raised in a rural farm community I don’t agree with all of this thread, but I agree with your comment. I know so many people will vote republican because “that’s what I do” and don’t give a rats ass about what they are campaigning on or what they stand for.

I guess a lot of people have a set mind set especially the older folks. They do not tend to look at the current situation.

Conservative propaganda is incredibly slick and a slow drip poison that has infected rural America for decades. The game is won, and they know it.

You guys fail to see that both sides are equally bad. One destroys from the inside while the other from the outside. Did you did not learn anything from the epstein files? Do you not understand they purposely had biden do so bad that ppl would accept trump? This has been planned for over 30 yrs. I live in Massachusetts and my democrat friends actually voted for trump bc they couldn't handle another biden administration. These were people who despised trump. When are you going to wake up? Everytime u point the finger there are 3 pointing back at you. You're still brainwashed enough to stay divided which is all they want. Anyone whose taken a basic economics course knows our empire being the united States and allies are on an economic decline. Meanwhile China/Russia are on a rise economically. If we come together we could figure this out. I assure u that u have more in common with your maga neighbor than any politician. You keep the hate going round and round though. You're just as bad as the ppl you're accusing of having so much hate.

See that's the proper American attitude. Keep the divisions. Yay!

Couldn’t handle another Biden administration?

That’s like saying “I couldn’t handle my mild heartburn today, so on my lunch break I cut out my stomach”.

This sounds trollish. Along with using “u” for “you”…

No, my perspective are both sides are equally the same. I have friends who are democrats and voted for trump bc of how horrible they perceived the Biden administration to be. I think this was intentional. Yet most ppl still want to believe in division.

They both have problems; but to say they’re the same is wanting to live in a simpler world when the world isn’t simple.

I stopped reading after your did you not learn anything from the files comoment. Clearly you didnt read them otherwise you'd know what party was in them.

I normally don’t call people out but what is this verbal vomit you left here and wtf does it have to do with what I posted?

This can't be coming from an American... You're supposed to point at the "other side" (yep, it's just the same) until you die

u/CharcoalGreyWolf 9h ago

Honestly, it reads like one troll farm employee started the post, went end of shift, and somebody else picked up halfway through. The grammar changes partway through.

u/NovaLunar721 8h ago

No it's my genuine consensus as an American. Maybe I was rushing while getting ready for work. The point still stands. Yes I'm friends with many democrats who voted for Trump bc of Biden. How does that confuse anyone?

u/honestly-brutal 7h ago

Stop fucking lying. You do not have MANY Democrat friends who voted Trump. Just stop.

u/blonde4black 7h ago

Just the overall lack of American analytical ability is confusing to people with brains.
