Biden came after Trump.
> All they had to do was bring a calming white man that is not in cognitive decline that would reassure the nation that everything was going to be alright
What motivated people is inflation and border crossings.
Exactly, Yeah! He was the white man not in mental decline that said that everything is going to be alright.
> What motivated people is inflation and border crossings.
Yes, these are some of the issues that needed to be addressed instead of gender politics and foreign policy.
What is the disagreement?
I guess congrats to Fox, because focusing on it all day every day worked. The average joe thinks that's all the Democrats care about. It's extremely transparent when someone says "gender politics" what media they're consuming.
Why did Trump then get votes?
Nobody is confused as to why people SAY they support Trump, people are confused that you can show someone who supports Trump objective evidence that he hurts them, works against his wishes, etc, and they will support him harder.
The "backfire effect" doesn't replicate, but boy IDK if we can call two elections anything more than an adequate sample size.
If Gender politics is such a nothing-burger that the president shouldn't care about it, why did they vote in the party who is enthusiastic about hetero-normativity? Why did so many republicans devote airtime and debate time to talking about the double digit number of trans people in sports?
