Did we forget that a pandemic happened just three years ago during Trumps presidency and his response was to call it a hoax? Did we forget that when New Yorkers were hit with Covid first that they didnt want to do anything to help New York because the state wouldnt collectively vote for them in 2020?

Oh, you think thats the only example? Trump also didnt want to contribute a penny of relief for California when the Camp Fire happened or for Puerto Rico when Hurricane Maria hit the island.

The only thing that made him relent from his lizard brain desires for revenge was his advisors reminding him that he had an election to win and the optics would look terrible if he did nothing. If he gets back in office after 2024 with no more elections to win, he will let those who didnt support him die this time. If a Hurricane Lee happened in 2025 and it ravaged the northeast, he would tell those suffering to fuck off.

I'm no expert on stupid or America, but this poll is pretty damning. Trump actually suggesting injecting people with either sunlight or bleach at one point, if not both. This poll should not be close, much less have Trump winning.

My brother recently said, "We're controlled by the banks, Big Pharma, and the media, so it doesn't matter who's in office."

He'll be voting Trump, because he believes "Our lives were so much better under Trump"

So yes, people are fucking stupid.

There are a lot of details you're missing. People got the bulk of the money under Trump so some might be voting from that pov. But at the end of the day these polls are just a who do you prefer vote.

The fact that Joe Biden is practically senile (I was lead to believe this a big taboo among the US liberals, on account of the understandable anything but Trump paradigm) and that this is more and more apparent by the day, probably played a role in that polls results.

Most likely a biased poll and all, but too many Americans are still that fucking stupid in general, especially conservatives. If they're not stupid, they're just assholes.

Doesn't help that it's basically mainstream American conservative ideology at this point. Not all of them are stupid, though that's a small number, but all of them are assholes for sure.

I don't blame you. Look at this.

Surveys adhere to industry best practices and are based on random samples of adults using random digit dialing with live interviewers calling landlines and cell phones.

(A) We already know the demographics, by and large, that usually still have landlines.

(B) We know who has the time and willingness to sit through live phone interviews. (This has been a thing forever.)

(C) Who the hell answers their mobile if the number isn't in their contacts in 2023? "Unbiased" or not, I'm not picking up Quinnipiac's call because I'll never know it's them calling.

Industry best practices have not caught up to "phone polls generate a conservative bias, no matter what you try to do to correct for it."

No, people who think Donnie would do a better job handling a national crisis when we've seen multiple first hand accounts of him NOT doing that are just fucking stupid. End of.

And if you think Biden is practically senile, then I have no clue what words would be used to describe Donnie's brain rot, which again, goes back to people who voted for him in this poll being stupid.

I just avoid the topic. He's already blocked me on Facebook, and it's not worth losing a brother over. Well maybe it is, but once my parents go, he'll be all that's left.

But I can probably guess his answer: gas and groceries are too expensive right now.
