America: Fucking dumbest nation on the planet. Plenty of turkeys voted for Christmas. Women voted to have their reproduction rights taken away from them, minorities voted to be discriminated against more, Hispanics voted to be rounded up and deported, and the less well off voted to have even less chance of getting decent medical care. They also voted to sell off parts of the government to tech bros and the Orange Turd will be straight on the blower to arrange a meeting to give some head to the paedo midget in the Kremlin. Basket case of a country.
It is hard to understand.
But then as a country, we voted for Boris even with the full knowledge of his economical approach to the truth.
Some people want to be told that issues are straightforward and easy to solve and they believe it when it comes out of the mouths of people who allegedly have some sort of charisma (a charisma that bypasses me totally btw) and who tap into issues that are controversial, although a caveat here, "its the economy stupid". Biden/Harris didn't convince the electorate about their economic successes because people did not feel it in their pockets so Trump had a huge advantage with that issue, no matter that he will in all likelihood put the economy into the dumpster truck.
This morning, an interesting fact was discussed on TV about why the polls were so wrong. It seems 1 in 4 men would lie to their wives about how they voted. If they are prepared to lie to their loved ones then pollsters don't stand much of a chance.
