that a large portion of the public voted for the authoritarians, because the depressing truth is that this country is made up of too many people who actually are racists, sexists, and bigots.
That is why Rogan and others have such a large following.
Those Union members who didn't vote for her, let's see how they get along with a musk type agenda. Those union workers played the same thing by refusing to vote for Jimmy Carter over Reagan and they paid a heavy price for that folly. Obviously, they didn't learn from history. We'll see how trump works out for them.
As for those young people, I wouldn't count on any student loan reprieves, and good luck with minimum wage, and a safe working environment, and they can kiss off any climate change initiative. If the Israeli-Palestinian issue was their grievance, if trump's words to Netanyahu were accurate, they will wish there was a two-state solution. That's out the door, and it is likely the palestinian situation will get even worse.
Good luck to the farmers if trump actually goes through with his tarriffs. That will not only cause inflation, but make it difficult to export their goods to other countries, which the last time he did that in 2016 he had to subsidize those farmers, which along with his suppossed tax breaks for the richest Americans will only increase our deficit, which those young people who decided not to participate, will be the ones who will have to deal with that.
If he fulfills his promise, he will trash the U.S. dollar, push crypto currency,, and interfere with the federal reserve.
The country will be headed for some very difficult times with those policies, and frankly we deserve it for electing this authoritarian.
