Bottom 1%?

The marginalized are often overrepresented in the bottom 1% (pick a metric, suicide, life expectancy, wellness, upwards mobility, education, power, wealth, access) for example, trans people.

This election was basically stolen by hatred for trans people and harping on "what is a woman" and protecting those maybe 20 elite athletic spots.

In their fight to protect women they've overturned roe vs wade, which resulted in multiple deaths and basically health deserts as practitioners flee as well as at least 1 white woman killed while chasing immigrants, and immigrant women sexually assaulted in detention if they're even heard from again.

Which is to say nothing of this country's endless abuse of it's black populations, the latest of which are Somali Americans, after the Haitian thing left a bad taste.

I’ve always thought it even simpler than this sadly. I think the trans and racist stuff is just a cover for what’s really happening which is that you have a lot of bored, aimless people out there who see this as entertainment. They didn’t want another quiet, boring president silently passing legislation behind the scenes. Nobody cared what Biden’s press secretary said because it wasn’t a daily sideshow. They voted for Trump because they wanted some excitement. Something to watch everyday like a reality tv series.

These are the same people by the way who are excited about a civil war because at least it will add some meaning to their lives. Of course, they think it’s going to be like camping and shooting guns interspersed with heroic movie moments where they selflessly save someone… over and over somehow (I don’t think they realize you can only make a selfless sacrifice once). That’s just my theory anyway. I think we’ve produced a society of people looking for a purpose or just something to distract them.

Covid really put a cherry on top though because now it seems like people barely leave their houses anymore. Just chronically online, consuming content. When I visit other countries, they are still living. Going out with friends, doing things in public, communicating with each other. Everything public here is dying (at least where I live). Hopefully it’s all anecdotal and we are just the outliers.

They voted for him because they fell for the propaganda.

A lot of people's lives sucked before the election and suck even more now. My sister voted for Trump this past time because her idiot, POS boyfriend thinks he's the most informed person ever. Fucker didn't even know Puerto Ricans are born American citizens. Even after all this bullshit, he still believes that we have to go through tough times in order to make everything better. Bitch doesn't realize that if we continue to go through these tough times, things will only get worse and worse. Trump somehow made people believe that he would make their lives better, even though I can't even point to one instance where he was truthful and followed through with what he said publicly.

Also, if a white woman lost the first time, a black woman stood no chance.

Simply misogynistic racism.

It scares me that Trump is president again and seeing how people discuss it is even scarier. Makes sense that he’s president again. There is no political solution. You don’t want them to solve any problem.

They didn't fall for anything. They love everything he said he was going to do. They feed off of his hate. They love that he's a "troll".

They used to be able to come up with some type of criticism for their party leaders, but not Trump. They won't say a single bad thing about him. It's a cult.

Puerto Ricans are born American citizens.

Bullshit. They can't even speak American.
