I don’t get what everyone on all sides is so angry about. Isn’t this exactly what the country voted for? Do we not remember the affordability crisis from 2024 and the price of everything? With the cost of food, energy, and housing, it was no surprise that America reelected Donald Trump.
For instance, I know I wasn’t alone in my top priority being the lack of craft store gold belching a gleaming brine over the full oval office. And surely, a silent majority thought the White House needed to be desecrated to build an enormous ballroom to host some Caligula Chamber of Commerce convention of oil executives, nazis, crypto weirdos, and for-profit preachers.
Captioning presidential portraits with incel message board internet trolling of former occupants of the Oval Office was definitely important for suburban Michigan moms. And a conspicuous lack of measles was, causing real hardship across the Sun Belt for many middle-class families.
As families struggle to pay bills, WOW county voters in Wisconsin knew there was no better way to get our fiscal house in order than letting the richest guy in the world sieg-heil his way into the government to steal taxpayer data. I mean, come on, is there no appreciation for the fact that DOGE’s famous chainsaw budgeting cost $135 billion and is on pace to kill 14 million people by 2030? That’s the fiscal responsibility we need.
And speaking of preposterously wealthy tech billionaires. Exit polls confirmed a major concern in Pennsylvania was that Amazon had not directly bribed the President of the United States by financing and promoting a terrible puff piece documentary it recruited a sex pest to direct. The point wasn’t to make money, you guys, it was to curry favor with the President. The mandate was delivered in November 2024.
Just look at the gains the Trump coalition made with non-white voters. It was puzzling in the moment to some, but obvious in hindsight. A major issue for Black and Latino voters was a president who would use his office to add $4 billion in wealth, including a half billion kickback from the United Arab Emirates for the Trump crypto scam. And don’t underestimate the power of the pulpit and religious voters. Many of whom were clear that Air Force One was kind of mid. They were praying for a dubious-to-whoa-thats-super-illegal “gift” from Qatar that cost US taxpayers $1 billion to upgrade.
Think about what resonates in the swing areas of North Carolina. College-educated whites told us with their ballots that they wanted the United States to murder fishermen and turn the entire country of Venezuela into our personal gas pump. You see, our FIFA-Peace-Prize-winning president learned the lessons from foreign entanglements in oil-rich regions of the world. Specifically, that they didn’t drag on long enough.
So, in summation.
Populism.
