(148 posts)54. "I am your retribution"
I think many Americans are deeply disappointed that their lives don't live up to what they think they deserve based on their social media consumption and the "Leave it to Beaver" narrative the Right has been pushing for most of my lifetime. They voted the way they did because they want to punish the rest of us for that and make our lives just as disappointing. Telling them that everything was improving under President Biden and that what they felt was happening (grocery prices, etc.) was all in their heads or price gouging just enraged them more. He is their retribution because deep down inside they are spoiled children with unrealistic expectations.

Outside of Latinos and first-time voters, your summaries are incorrect for black men and youth using NBC exit polls
