    Gas prices, grocery prices, ICE raids, school closures, job losses…

    It was a lot of things

      One could argue that most people who care about ICE and children already voted blue

      Yeah, I meant gas prices as shorthand for the economy in general but you’re right. I’m not so sure about the ICE raids. If the economy was doing well, I don’t think they would have moved the needle, sadly.

        El-Sayed doesn’t win Michigan without Trump going into Minnesota like he’s on a coke bender. Acton in Ohio and Hinojosa in Texas, too.

        So much of the county absolutely hates this shit.
