I personally do not think these people will actually be better off under the Trump administration. Demonstrably it's getting worse. But I can see why they might have been bamboozled yet again.

But when you are living day to day, cheque to cheque, and someone is telling you that they are gonna make your life better, you vote on a chance and some hope that it will, you don't have the time or will to be better informed or educate yourself, or probably care about the social implications.

Or you are so caught up in an social/economic echo chamber that the alternative (democrats) does not seem to be an option. And often times social issues can have little impact when you are just worried about eating the next day or having a home for your kids.

Being uneducated, poor, struggling, starving and afraid for the future doesn't make you evil, despicable and worthy of hell (or whatever, haha).

There are a lot (I would guess a significant portion) of Trump voters who fit into the categories above. And those are the ones I am saying, hey, just take a second and stop painting everyone with the same brush here.

Of course the overt and active #######s, racists and other member of MAGA and his administration need and should be called out, whenever and wherever possible.

You are wrong.
