but it was not a centrist message. It was a far right message that included blaming immigrants for job losses and promoting isolationist trade policies.
JFC Trump did both. I said this at the start.
First. He did the centrist message. Jobs, wages, inflation. Ok? Those are the messages that the center voted for Trump on.
Ok second. This is second. Separate from the first point. Second: He did a thinly veiled dog whistle to blame immigrants for everything. And everything I already said: yes it’s so overt that it’s not even a dog whistle anymore. And I already yes certain center voters should have seen through it. And that we on Lemmy can generally see through that, but apparently many people can’t. Like I said it all already.
So. What won Trump the election? What part pushed him over the edge to win? I’m saying it was the center voter. The center voter that voted for Trump because Trump appealed to the center voter on issues like jobs, inflation, manufacturing, etc. Those are the issues that the center cares about. And Trump appealed to them more on those issues than Harris appealed to them. JFC. How many times do I have to say the same thing.
Small business? Sounds good in theory but how many voters run a small business? Not enough. It has no appeal for the 99.9% of center voters that just work a standard job. You know what does appeal to the center voter? What Trump says about jobs, inflation, manufacturing. And we’re right back to the start.
