...I watched her entire campaign. Her detractors, not so much. It's not surprising to me to hear misrepresentations like this in the national discussion post-election.

The Harris campaign does not control the press. Nor does she control voters who lie to everyone, including themselves about their own antipathy to most Americans which was reflected in their vote for a known cretin and criminal.

These representations of a Trump voter as just having and voting on basic concerns like the price of eggs, which have NOTHING to do with what a president does, is just ignoring what they were really responding to; the endless stream of hate rallies that would make the 1950's Klan proud.
