So many democrats don’t understand how someone could possibly be stupid/blind enough to vote for Trump.

If those same people were switched at birth with the Republicans they look down on them they would probably be voting Republican.

It is always worth trying to understand where other people are coming from. If you didn’t have the education that you got, if you were raised in the environment they were raised in and heard the messages they heard and suffered through whatever types of challenges they suffered (instead of the ones you did) then you would have a different world view. You would. That is a fact.

I am surrounded by democrats and they all think republican voters are low class idiots. If I were a republican then why would I want to vote for a party of people who obviously think I’m a low class idiot?

I feel bad for them, sure.

They still need to take responsibility.

They need to first be in a position to experience the consequences of their behavior in order to even be introspective about themselves.

The prosecution of the January 6 rioters was a wake up call for many of them, and that's what it takes: FAFO.

Until they were all pardoned. A big part of the lesson for many became; We get away with it if we win.

Definitely this was Trumps takeaway. He broke the law his first term many times with little or no consequence so of course he is doubling down.
