    A lot of the public is tired of the gasligjting, bullshit, and lies that establishment politics has brought them for the last ~70 years.

    Yes and Trump would (and already has) brought far more of that than we’ve ever had to stomach before. Your point is straight out of 2016, wake the fuck up.

      I didn’t say that Trump didn’t also do that. The guy is outside of establishment politics even if just based on his mannerisms. Trump voters aren’t the most rational people lol.

      A lot of it is just people tired of politicians playing the politics game. Like Biden is basically minmaxing talking about his own good achieviments because he’s scared to loose the centrist vote, and that rightfully makes more left leaning people kind of queasy, me included. It effectively discounts the stuff he’s done.

      Edit: AND it discounts his own voting base by turning them into numbers. but that’s the two party system for ya. Trump doesn’t really ever worry about that.
