   When MAGA sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people although there hasn’t been any evidence of that yet.

   From Winslow’s social media:

   tfg voters are EXTREMELY mad about the following:

   They just found out what tariffs are and that they’ll be paying them

   They just found out what denaturalization is

   They (particularly black and Hispanic trump voters) just found out that other trump voters are racist

   Independents and liberals don’t want to be their friends (they are furious about this)

   Dems keep telling them they hope they get what they voted for (they are really mad about this too)

   1,000 auto workers just got fired.

   We warned you.

   Elections have consequences.

   Stupido is as stupido does — final poll of the 2024 presidential election showed that the more engaged that a person was with politics and public affairs, the likelier that that person would vote for Vice President Kamala Harris.

   According to the final NBC News poll of the 2024 race, 76% of registered voters said they follow public affairs and politics closely. The poll showed Harris winning among that group by 5 points over trump, 52%-47%.

   But among the remaining quarter of voters who said they don’t follow politics closely, trump was ahead by a much greater margin — 14 points, 54%-40%.

   These less-engaged voters were disproportionately younger, more Republican-leaning and less likely to have college degrees — all groups of voters the NBC News Exit Poll showed Democrats struggling with in the election results earlier this month, especially compared to past presidential races.

   trump didn’t campaign against Harris. He campaigned against reality. And won.

   First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

   Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

   Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

   Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

   Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

    Harris was by far the most qualified candidate. No sane person could argue otherwise. This election was not about economic policy or foreign policy. TFG didn’t discuss policy, just empty platitudes, promises of retribution and suffering of others. Unfortunately now democratic smart policies won’t win by the process of debate. Intellect does not get votes. Might hurt even.

    “The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused, and abused in his very being. Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings.” — Dietrich Bonhoeffer
