While I appreciate your overall point, I just gotta answer…
Do you wonder why Trump has supporters? If you don’t want to bother to understand the voters, they don’t really care about what you think either.
lol nobody wonders, and it’s very obviously not because of his macroeconomics. They don’t care what we think because of qualities we can’t change, not because we aren’t bothering to understand them hard enough. You’re giving them faaaaaaaaa[takes breath]aaaaaaaar too much credit.
I don’t think every Trump voter is a rabid racist, and macroeconomics do matter. They just don’t think the government, or the Democrats, or the other Republicans give a damn about them. They are alone and just want someone to tell them there’s someone to blame, and someone is going to make them pay for their suffering. Trump is their winner that champions them, or so they think, because no one else gives a shit about them. Does Biden convince them that the government really cares? Not a chance. Voting for Trump is exploiting the blind anger many people feel because of their powerlessness. If you want to win an election, you tap into that. People don’t really care what Trump says, they are desperate and angry and want to have someone pay for their suffering.
It’s the failure to understand why voters opt for Trump which is why Trump wins elections, more so than Trump’s qualities. No one cares what these voters think, and so why should they care about what you think or how you want them to vote? These people think, just not how you want them to, or have the same concerns you do. Treating them as subhuman simply pushes them into the arms of demagogues and dictators.

you could have stopped after “they don’t think”, and your comment would have been more valid.

they literally don’t think. they react emotionally with their lizard brains. that’s not thinking.
