OPINION: "Why did they break for Donald Trump? Lots of worthy people are going to spend lots of time exploring that question. I won’t, though. What I know is that Trump campaigned on easily proven lies. What I also know is his supporters chose to believe them."

rawstory.comWhy Trump voters should be held accountable for their choiceFor now, I’m not getting involved in the debate over what Kamala Harris did wrong. For one thing, whatever conclusions are drawn now will almost certainly be forgotten by the time of the next election...

Trump received the approx same amount of votes in 2024 as he did in 2020. 81 million people voted for Biden in 2020, which means millions of people walked away from the Democrat party. The media should be more focused on why that is, instead of why Trump won.

I am already hearing it. "No, I didn't vote for that". People my age who voted for turmp are now confused. Cutting Social Security? My medicaid coverage? "No, I paid into that my whole life. They cannot cut this". You are a ride-or-die republican. This is what you brought upon yourself. And us.

It’s worse than that, much worse. They don’t believe his lies either. Oh, they’ll pretend to. But they don’t believe his lies any more than you or I do. The truth is; they just don’t care! As long as they think you or I will suffer much more than them, they are perfectly fine with that.

How about the fact that he’s basically been on tour almost for the last eight years, especially the last four. His save America stadium tour has been going on since he left office… The cult reference is real, his followers are addicted.

I think Kamala should do the same, have town halls and rallies bashing his horrors. Only a man would have the chutzpah. We need to start acting like them. She got more votes than he got in 2020. She's entitled

They are going to be held accountable for their choice, they just don’t realize it yet. 1. Inflation will double by the end of 2025 2. Interest rates will rise as Trump boosts the deficit and the Govt has to raise interest rates to attract Bond buyers

3. Cuts to disability, food stamps, Medicaid, Medicaid and Social Security will affect about 50% republicans 4. Tariff retaliation will cause factory production cuts and large job losses

It’s not just people ‘believing his lies’. Problem is Harris really had no position on the economy, her main selling points were ‘I’m not Trump’ and abortion. Whilst important, these were not the the trigger points for the majority of Americans apparently.

If Democrats continue this line of thought, they will never get elected again. If you want to know why people voted for Trump, sit down and have a civil conversation with them. Your own person opinions aren't facts. You also MUST look at why Kamala couldn't get votes or Dems don't win in 4 years.

It’s a death cult & we are going with them. Instead of him facing consequences everyone is too busy blaming others instead of the waste of space facing those consequences.

I maintain it’s a symptom of the larger war. Democrats respect rules and boundaries and try to “play fair”. As gently as possible: the Republicans don’t. They know they would lose a fair fight - so it will NEVER be fair. We have to decide if winning is worth the cost.

People bought the rainbows and unicorns due to concerted propaganda efforts of right wing media. Propaganda is a weapon of war. Should not be legal to be deployed against our own people.

What does one call a voter who believes a candidate who says"I'll do anything for you", only to find out the day after the election that he's at his club laughing at them for being easy.

We have a large gig economy. When trump pursed his ugly mouth and promised “no taxes on tips”, that was it. Then, the naive seniors believed the “no taxes on the Social Security” lie. Same SS republicans want to cut.

Exactly. Trump won because of his lies and a supporting propaganda machine, with Kremlin backing, that force fed those lies to millions. To defeat these fascists, we must first defeat this evil machinery that produces and reinforces lies in the minds of millions of our felllow Americans.

They still won't care. They'll blame Hillary, or Obama, or Alec Baldwin. They're incapable of: -learning anything -changing their mind -empathy -introspection They've learned to love the smell of their own s#it so much they just stuff their heads further into their colons.
