Nobody who voted for Trump actually cared about lower grocery prices. There are racist, bigoted, xenophobes, who only want to hurt people they don’t like. And they love Trump because that’s exactly what he is doing.
And that’s why this sort of attack won’t work. Because, even for those who voted for Trump, who don’t explicitly hate anyone not like themselves, they are delusional enough to never be able to admit they were wrong and to blame anyone who points it out to them for their troubles.
For MAGA types, sure but there are a small yet significant subset of Trump voters who were that dumb and those are the ones that will actually care about this shit. For crying out loud when you have states that Trump won by less than 30K votes, yeah those idiots matter.
This is just a straight up bad faith argument that ignores how colossally the DNC failed in November. There absolutely were millions of Americans who were fooled into thinking that Donald Trump was going to care more about their economic pains than Kamala Harris was. Now, I don’t think any of these people would identify themselves as a Trump supporter, they probably called themselves “Undecided” before the election, and I don’t think these people want fascism. I think those are the people this ad is trying to reach, the ones who voted for him purely out of economic anxiety who didn’t seriously believe the warnings they received of what Trump would really be about. To these people, we call Trump a Nazi the same way he calls Harris a Communist, so they didn’t listen. Maybe they’ll listen now, and we still need their help if we’re to have any chance of getting out of this mess now.
I agree with this. Every now and then I think I meet someone who really is worried about grocery prices but then I thought well no cause that just means they’re more worried about grocery store prices and they are about race bigotry in xenophobia.

This is completely false. They cared about grocery prices. Trump blamed it on immigrants. Biden said the economy was great.
They were both wrong but that does not mean the concern did not exist.

Lol you had me going there

So… wouldn’t appealing to their grocery store prices mean something, then?
Christ, if you stopped trying to judge the moral rightness of voters for half a minute you might figure out how to actually win an election.
Louder for the sleepers in the back.
