In reply to the discussion: 'Democrats Lost Them': Here's Why 2020 Biden Voters Sat Out The 2024 Election (Rolling Stone) [View all]I know that things are only going to get worse, but the economy was in a terrible mess in 2024. I don't care what the numbers said, the reality was that people were not spending as much money as before.
I've been involved in mail order and online selling since 1986. 2024 was the first year in my entire life that my sales had plummeted to nearly nothing. It had nothing to do with poor marketing; so many people, my regular customers, were telling me that they wished they could order certain items, but they simply couldn't afford to.
Democrats ignored the economy at their own peril, and now we are all suffering from Trump as a result.
Even if Biden, a white male, had been running against Trump, the Democrats would have lost.
The general public didn't understand at the time that Trump would only make things worse. Uninformed voters simply blame the current president for the current situation, and vote for change.
The only good thing about this tendency is that it's going to come back to bite Trump and the Republicans in the @$$ in 2026...if we are allowed another free and fair election, that is.
