Honestly, at this point idk if we’re hearing the full side on the right. Not making excuses for them but the majority of right wing rhetoric on commercial socials are bots. The actual voters themselves are awfully quiet. At least on my feeds.
Unfortunately Ive got family who’s voted for him who at least buy into some of the BS. Ive heard the buyout as a good deal considering theyre going to fire you anyway and stuff like that.
The right wing propoganda chain is strong. From the moment reagan deregulated the airwaves to now. Christian radio feeding into am talk, am talk stroking egos while painting narratives of victimhood and then social media and the death of local newspapers absolutely drove it all up to 11. It doesnt help that while this was happening the neolibs were disinvesting in the working class, and didnt have a proper counter to it. There were virtue signalling but still very wealthy hollywood elites kinda giving some crumbs of representation in films I guess and of course smarmy personalities like bill mahr. Which of course only helped serve to reinforce enough right wing talking points to help begin the radicalization process.
It sucks because I think a lot of conservatives when you talk to them about what they actually believe you do get fairly leftest beliefs. Like I know when I talk to my dad he’ll say things sometimes that are practically radically leftist, but then he’ll twist his logic into knots to explain why thats why he voted the way he did.
I feel like if the dems didnt abandon the working class the republicans would have less fuel to burn.

Oh 100% on the selling the working class out. Dems are for wealthy soft republicans. Repubs are for hard line broke republicans.
