Literally, I live on Long Island and only like 1 town was blue the rest of the island was red, also 41% percent of the votes were from Latinos, definitely says something.
Turns out publicly aligning with the Cheneys, supporting a massacre in the Middle East and not having clear breaking economic policies is not the best electoral strategy
They did. Trump as a Republican tried to engage with the minority voters and there was noticable increase in his support among people of colour. Be it Hispanics, Blacks or Asians. Heck, he even managed to convince some Muslims that he'll solve the Middle East's conflict.
@@FelipeKana1 Right Biden had an infrastructure plan, COVID stimulus checks, green energy plans in 2020. Now compared to that what does Harris have to offer ?????????
The democrats simply showed themselves to be out of touch this time through. Like Bernie Sanders said, they abandoned the working class. They focused on the topics that made up the social hobbies of upper middle class. Topics like racism and sexism that just aren't central to the real struggles of the poor and working class. But some democrats are so certain these are the central topic to most Americans, that they confusedly believe people voting against them is due to those Americans view on those topics. That Americans voted red because they are sexist, racist or homophonic. In truth, they voted red because they are concerned about topics only the right really focused on, economics, inflation, foreign politics. They didn't vote Trump because they hate women, but because they are struggling to buy food. Many may have agreed with democrats about LGBT and racial topics, but they are more concerned with the reduced buying power of their paycheck that keeps their family fed and housed. Simply put, the democrats fell out of touch with most people, and many are switching, such as the Hispanic vote. And sadly, it doesnt seem they want to learn their lesson, and so they will attack and further push away the poor and working class that voted red for the first time in their lives this week.
@@tachobrenneryes but that’s like promising to raise the minimum wage. It’s not about giving away more money it’s about reducing the expenses of everything else
I'm also betting that "Republicans are racist" just isn't hitting as hard, I don't think trump or 90% of the other Republicans in office care at all about skin color.
@tachobrenner Who is gonna pay for that? Half of government relief ypu end up paying back in full if not double or triple through taxes. Also you know FEMA makes you pay back your aid money.
Well, seeing as prices have only increased the further from 2020 we have gotten and Biden was in charge, I don't think the right choice was the VP who wouldn't change anything about Biden's presidency, including lockdowns, stimulus packages and tax increases.
Not a trump fan at all, but democracy is not in danger from this election. Even if Trump didnt deserve to win it seems more people thought he did and thats what matters. Thats how democracy works
I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time, but looking back, I’m grateful to my English teacher for guiding us through books like Animal Farm, Atlas Shrugged, 1984, and Brave New World. Those stories were powerful warnings about the dangers of authoritarianism. God bless that teacher for helping us see the world a little more clearly!
I heard a lot of talk about not voting in protest for Gaza. That they couldn't vote for either on that principle. Well Gaza will likely be annexed now so good on them for standing for their principles I guess? The Republican dissuasion campaign was effective.
@@sor3999yeah, that strategy really backfired if it turns out that’s why 40 million people didn’t vote. Trump isn’t a pacifist and will likely try to do something to Iran for the uncovered assassination attempt (Iran tried to off Trump). Also, he’s far more vindictive toward China and there’s been rumors about sending the U.S. military into Mexico to fight cartels. Overall, more wars, but authoritarians love wars
I'm an independent and as much as I despise trump and think he's going to ruin this country, the dems have been consistently ignorant for years. Biden should've never tried to run for a second term as it left little time for Harris to campaign. But more importantly, there was never even a real democratic primary. The lack of a primary race where there could have been a flood of support for the nominee never was able to happen. No one wanted Biden to run again. Had someone like Walz run the primary, I think he could have possibly won the presidency. It's like how they crowned Hillary over Bernie and she lost. The Dems keep forcing their candidate down the throat of the people and they leave the with a choice of voting for the lesser of two evils so people vote for neither candidate. Plus the fact that both parties have given into the demands of the radical far left and far right and have left little to no room for someone in between those extremes. Politics have gotten so radicalized to the extremes that it's just a matter of time before the fuse runs out and the bomb explodes. I believe Trump is that fuse and it's been lit. I'll be shocked if there isn't some kind of major political uprising in the next few years, possibly civil war. But ideally we get a few third political party to take hold that actually does what's best for the everyday citizen instead of what's best for the wealthy, the big businesses that own politicians and the religious right or woke left and actually make this a country that is good for everyone and free of the hate and selfishness that has infected so many people. If Trump follows through on half of what he's said he'll do, this country will not exist as it does today and the nation will fracture apart. I don't trust a felon to run this country.
I think it's less of a shift in political leanings and more that Dems forget that elections are 9 out of 10 times about the economy. Social issues like abortion and LGBTQ are important but are second order issues for most Americans. Remember that in 2022 Dems beat expectations of a "red wave." The only reason they lost the house to a razor thin Republican majority was because of poor candidate choices and campaigning in NY western districts.
Nope not true. The younger population definitely all were swayed red, including me. Kamala simply was not fit for the job, not sure why older folk are so set on parties rather than the candidate
Problem is the working class does not view the right to an abortion and freedom for a man to walk in a woman's bathroom as human rights. Human rights are when you can afford to fuel your tanks with gas and put bread on the table for your family. When inflation is so high that this becomes near impossible the working class will vote red
You are aware that many dictator are first elected. Don't get me wrong the election result should be respected. And I'm not even saying that is what he is trying to become. But yes you can have a fair election and still have democracy in danger because of the candidate that fairly won
It is not a shift to the right, it is a shift to Trump. Trump out preformed almost every Republican candidate for other offices, even in deep blue states such as California. It speaks quite clearly to what voters want and the future of the Republican party depends solely on how well they learn this message.
if youve been paying attention at all the "democracy in danger" argument is nothing new lol. tell me youre not up to speed without telling me that explicitly
@@royalpayn4089uh, you do realize it's the Democrats that are trying to censor people. They were the ones in favor of a total CCP-style lockdown during covid. They were the ones who allowed the Democratic elite anoint Harris whereas Trump was chosen the people. Who's threatening 'democracy' now?
Two entirely different contexts There were reasons why Trump’s first term was such a failure He was constantly firing and re hiring people for example Now republicans have the majority in practically every branch of government and the president won’t be held accountable for any illegal action as long as it’s deemed “an official act” So he can effectively do whatever he wants
People are sick of Democrats taking their positions of power for granted, as this article tacitly reinforces. Politicians are guaranteed nothing and that’s a good thing. If a political party feels at threat, that means they will actually do their job of trying to make the lives of their constituents better to maintain their favor. Democrats have largely forgotten this in the last twenty years. That’s why Harris unfortunately lost.
Yeah, people felt they weren’t represented by the Democratic Party, so they made their voices heard. Now the left will have to consider them if it wants to win
Lowering taxes (especially for the rich and for corporations) will increase the US debt. To counteract, they will have to slash government spending, which will increase US unemployment. The corporations will not be able to hire all those new unemployed people, so it is likely that it will put the USA in an economic recession. That's my prediction.
@@jonasgunnarsson5747lowering taxes across the board. Trumps plan is to use a Tariff on incoming goods. Also he plans to cut federal income tax to offset the impending raise in costs due to tariffs
Democracy worked this election but thanks to the Supreme Court’s ruling that a president has complete and utter immunity, Trump might use that power to subvert democracy. Two examples being to change the rules of how elections work to allow himself to run for another term or use his presidential power to eliminate his political opponents. This is speculation but speculation that wasn’t possible before the Supreme Court’s ruling, not to mention some quotes that Trump has said himself such as “vote for me and you’ll never have to vote again” and “I only want to be a dictator for one day”
Going social media Go talk to some Trump supporters A lot of them are very remorseful that they voted for him feeling that they were misinformed and cheated. Most people are not happy that you won
How is that ironic? Would it have been ironic to say the same when Austrian moustache man won a democratic election? Because in that case they would've been right.
The “Democratic” choice was the woman who never won a single delegate. She dropped out before getting any votes in 2020 and the people crying “protect our democracy” installed her as their nominee without having a primary election.
Most dictators got into power by being voted in and just never left. Orban was voted in, Erdogan was voted in, Putin was voted in, Hitler was voted in, and Maduro was voted in. Democracy was destroyed soon after.
Democracy to them is two parties. One left-wing which exists to continuously shift further left and win unchallenged in perpetuity, and one right-wing which exists to continuously shift further left and be blamed for all societal ills.
“elects a nominee president that wasn’t voted for” “tries jail political opponents right before the election” “fund wars and genocides” “jail fbi whistle blowers for exposing that the “donations to Ukraine actually went back into joes pockets” “covers up about sons laptop and shady risky business”…”complains about democracy” make it make sense
You think it's not possible to democratically vote for someone who will end democracy? There are literally hundreds of dictators who were elected democratically, just because the people chose them doesn't mean it wasn't the end of democracy.
@@Sparx632True. And how do those examples compare to Donald Trump who has already served for four years. Even if he wanted to take over, there are hundreds of checks in place to ensure he cannot.
@ he didn’t have Project 2025 last time, he didn’t immediately have a Supreme Court (the only real check and balance in his way) that was overwhelmingly Republican and allied to him, he didn’t give jobs to people like Elon Musk, he didn’t have inconvenient criminal convictions to overturn and hadn’t tried to overturn a democratic election. This is not the same Trump as the one from 8 years ago.
@@kennethbrus1428 Constitutional republics are democracies. My god this is such a bad faith argument. "Oh what do you mean get in my car? That's clearly a vehicle."
@@Sparx632Although I understand the point you make, I disagree. A Democracy is essentially rule by majority vote. Considering that Liberals have been for YEARS claiming our system of the Electoral College is undemocratic, I think the differences are more than nuance. Our system allows minority rule and has resulted in that many times. Democracy does not allow for minority rule.
To be fair, the electoral college isnt really democracy. Trump won the popular vote anyway, so yeah he was elected by democracy. I think what many people are scared of is what trump will do to the democratic process in america after he takes office
Imagine being a Trump voter and not smart enough to use basic reasoning or critical thinking. I'll try to simplify it so even you can understand! This election, not the problem. Next election, getting canceled because Trump is never willingly leaving office. Try to keep up, it's embarrassing watching you bring down the national IQ.

Last election Joe won by not being trump, and things went very poorly after that. This year Harris tried to win by not being trump, and hoped none of us would remember what happened last time we voted against someone instead of for someone
Politics in USA is facinating for an outsider... They truly have divided the people quite magnificently so that your even assigned a colour (Red or Blue) depending on whether you are left or right leaning it's interesting I truly believe governments, to a large extent are beyond the control or scope of simply voting under a 2 pillar system, but I recognise that I come with no solution as such, but it does frustrate me at times
@ If Trump doesn’t already have a plan, he’s surely working on one now with his soon-to-be cabinet members now that he has won the election. Most Americans trust him with that assignment over Kamala any day. But hey, if his policies do work, you can still pretend that the Democrats are in power & pay old prices for everything!

@@sleddi98you can also say why do states with less than a million get 2 senate seats while California also gets 2. So states with huge populations dont have even more control over the federal government than the smaller states. A lot of things are not 50%+1 in government.

Also who were the ones constantly silencing people online?
LOL, that was a clear message of our governor here in Illinois. he declared that many Illinoisans would now be deprived and vulnerable. Gee, he totally needs his head checked.
You think that’s bad. Come to Cali we have a corrupt gov who cleaned the streets of San Fran only so that the Chinese leaders could visit. We just passed a bill for more thieves and drug dealers to get harsher sentences and Gavin was against it. It passed by over 70%
@ I’m not a trump supporter and I’m happy he was elected. The only worries are from those already in power pandering with American citizens. Trump definitely ain’t perfect but he is going to make people like dems look in the mirror and fix things so another trump-like person won’t get elected. No body is afraid of his rhetoric only progressive and far left liberals.
I wish people would stop acting like Trump winning is the end of the world "Democracy in grave danger" give me a break, people say that every 4 years!😭😭😭
If it doesn't make sense, it's a You issue. For those of us smart enough to think for ourselves, we believe Trump when he says we'll "never need to have another election again if [Trump] wins." “Democracy is dead because we were outvoted by the majority.” I always love how you Trumpers lie, overexaggerate, and rephrase things in a ridiculous way because you can't argue and win off of facts (of which you have none) or your intelligence alone.
Looking at the demographic breakdowns it becomes very clear there are two demographics he's winning over while everyone else remains blue: White men, White women, and Latino men.
Trump made huge gains in EVERY demographic. Of course his numbers are still very low among, for example, black women. But they're double what they were in 2016 or 2020. The Democrats should, hopefully, realize that treating women and minorities as helpless children in need of rescue is wearing very thin on people.
@@KittySN A larger share of black men voted for Trump than black women, but they still overwhelmingly voted Kamala. Idt it's fair to blame it on them, or any single group for that matter.
They certainly lost touch with me since they couldn’t beat a convicted felon who proclaimed “They’re eating the pets” at the debate earlier this year. And they’re going to lose it until they gain both houses and the oval office again. (And even there, I still might not vote.)
The so called 🔵 wall is just that, so called. It might as well be called the 🔵 curtain because like curtains when the winds blow, they ( the so called 🔵 wall states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan) also away.
@@wilderac2250 I think It would have been even worse than what had happened with Kamala. Biden had a huge age problem and he is the direct person on Gaza. that was a huge problem when he hit that debate stage and the polls showed it. I personally think Biden dropping saved them an even more crushing defeat.
@@wilderac2250it was projected to be way worse, it’s why they did the sudden switch which also looks bad because the left didn’t get a say in who they wanted in a way because of that. They did something very similar last time as well.
It probably was just apathy. The numbers were inflated in 2020 compared to elections from years prior, probably because of mail ins. People were either unable to make it to voting stations in person (despite having weeks to do so) or couldn't be bothered to leave the home without a simple mail in option.
If the the Dems cheated last election, why not this election? The people who believed the election was literally rigged did absolutely nothing, so what would stop them from doing it again since they can be confident that there will be not resistance.
Both of the parties have huge question marks over them. The Republicans have no idea what to do without Trump. The Democrats lost enormous numbers of women and minority voters this round, which is going to make them question the strategy of treating those groups like helpless children in need of rescue. If Trump fails to engineer a successor or the Democrats fail to jettison the identity pandering, the other could easily sweep.
@@cloudyfromtpotrealA fluid, democratic voting system should not be stable… a stable voting system that votes for the same views every cycle is just a dictatorship.
Yes, it is. Do you not recall how he tried to overturn the 2020 election? Do you not see how Republican states and swing states have attempted to make it more difficult to vote? Have you not heard Trump's statements about how "this is the last time you'll need to vote"? Populists don't enjoy losing, and if they ever feel like the population is against them, they'll turn against the population, even if it must be through disinformation campaigns. I'm praying whatever remains of checks and balances we have left will prevent a complete overhaul by the Project 2025 psychos.
Actually the red wall will be NV,GA and AZ with the new census and house seats appointment,the Republicans will only need to win those 3 lean red states to win the election,they will not need PA,WI and MI anymore.
We are misreading data here, there isn’t much of a shift to the right, there’s a significant shift towards voter apathy. All of this data is taken from polling active voters. Over 40% of ppl didn’t vote, which is higher than in previous years We’re not accounting for almost half of eligible age voters Who knows how they identify, probably as independents
You are a clown. Only 186 million people are registered to vote and therefore able to vote. Trump is projected when all votes are counted to have 79 million votes and Kamala 74 add them together and you have 153 million voters. 153 of 186 = 82.25 percent!!!!!!
Not to meniton in many places mail in/early voting was ruled impossible unless you were over the age of 65, basically those retired. And our national election day is a tuesday afternoon with polling locations closing at 3 PM in some counties and states. For the working class its impossible to vote sometimes.
All by design too It’s little by little, so no one notices The workday gets longer for less income adjusted for inflation and then civic duties are made less valuable because no one has time It’s time for us to plan and demonstrate I suggest joining working class families union or something like that I always feel better after hearing what other likeminded ppl share their sentiment
I think of it less of a right shift, and more of just the democratic choice for candidate and the current people in charge of the party did an exceptionally bad job. More people came to Trump on the basis that they didn’t want Kamala in. And I can’t really blame them for that assessment.
I know that tons of people in the middle politically and slightly left leaning were extremely apathetic about this election. The constant political dialogue, polarization, and discourse has been truly exhausting the last 8 years.

@@sor3999yeah, that strategy really backfired if it turns out that’s why 40 million people didn’t vote. Trump isn’t a pacifist and will likely try to do something to Iran for the uncovered assassination attempt (Iran tried to off Trump).

I'm an independent and as much as I despise trump and think he's going to ruin this country, the dems have been consistently ignorant for years. Biden should've never tried to run for a second term as it left little time for Harris to campaign. But more importantly, there was never even a real democratic primary. The lack of a primary race where there could have been a flood of support for the nominee never was able to happen. No one wanted Biden to run again. Had someone like Walz run the primary, I think he could have possibly won the presidency. It's like how they crowned Hillary over Bernie and she lost. The Dems keep forcing their candidate down the throat of the people and they leave the with a choice of voting for the lesser of two evils so people vote for neither candidate. Plus the fact that both parties have given into the demands of the radical far left and far right and have left little to no room for someone in between those extremes. Politics have gotten so radicalized to the extremes that it's just a matter of time before the fuse runs out and the bomb explodes. I believe Trump is that fuse and it's been lit. I'll be shocked if there isn't some kind of major political uprising in the next few years, possibly civil war. But ideally we get a few third political party to take hold that actually does what's best for the everyday citizen instead of what's best for the wealthy, the big businesses that own politicians and the religious right or woke left and actually make this a country that is good for everyone and free of the hate and selfishness that has infected so many people. If Trump follows through on half of what he's said he'll do, this country will not exist as it does today and the nation will fracture apart. I don't trust a felon to run this country.

I think it's less of a shift in political leanings and more that Dems forget that elections are 9 out of 10 times about the economy. Social issues like abortion and LGBTQ are important but are second order issues for most Americans. Remember that in 2022 Dems beat expectations of a "red wave." The only reason they lost the house to a razor thin Republican majority was because of poor candidate choices and campaigning in NY western districts.
Nope not true. The younger population definitely all were swayed red, including me. Kamala simply was not fit for the job, not sure why older folk are so set on parties rather than the candidate
Yeah, Kamala was ranked 10th in the democratic convention. No dem wanted her in office.
Maslow‘s hierarchy of needs. Food and shelter comes before social issues
Human rights >>>>> the economy
Problem is the working class does not view the right to an abortion and freedom for a man to walk in a woman's bathroom as human rights. Human rights are when you can afford to fuel your tanks with gas and put bread on the table for your family. When inflation is so high that this becomes near impossible the working class will vote red

If a political party feels at threat, that means they will actually do their job of trying to make the lives of their constituents better to maintain their favor.

Yeah, people felt they weren’t represented by the Democratic Party, so they made their voices heard. Now the left will have to consider them if it wants to win
Lowering taxes (especially for the rich and for corporations) will increase the US debt. To counteract, they will have to slash government spending, which will increase US unemployment. The corporations will not be able to hire all those new unemployed people, so it is likely that it will put the USA in an economic recession. That's my prediction.

Most dictators got into power by being voted in and just never left. Orban was voted in, Erdogan was voted in, Putin was voted in, Hitler was voted in, and Maduro was voted in. Democracy was destroyed soon after.
Democracy to them is two parties. One left-wing which exists to continuously shift further left and win unchallenged in perpetuity, and one right-wing which exists to continuously shift further left and be blamed for all societal ills.

I think of it less of a right shift, and more of just the democratic choice for candidate and the current people in charge of the party did an exceptionally bad job. More people came to Trump on the basis that they didn’t want Kamala in. And I can’t really blame them for that assessment.
Show the vote in New Jersey. Way closer than ever.
We didn't shift right. The left shifted left and we didn't move
A 5% shift next election in NJ, Virginia, NH, Minnesotta etc would flip them all red!
One can pray 🤞🙏
Hope so
And how exactly is democracy in danger?
Because the media said so
Because CNN said so
Because CNN said so
because it is threat to democracy when a candidate they dont like gets elected in a democratic way
Apparently, Trump is setting up an authoritarian dictatorship, but its all according to the media so don't worry
Democracy is not in danger. The people have voted. Get over it!
It was more of a case of low turnout among Democrat voters than a shift to the right. Rural voters turned out in large numbers.
I know that tons of people in the middle politically and slightly left leaning were extremely apathetic about this election. The constant political dialogue, polarization, and discourse has been truly exhausting the last 8 years.
We were never meant to live in a democracy. We were meant to live in a constitutional republic
A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. Any system where leaders are elected or policy decided by popular vote is a democracy.
@@SergioRCambra By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority.
The main difference between a republic and a democracy is the charter or constitution that limits power in a republic, often to protect the individual's rights against the desires of the majority.
@@XD-inator an archaic definition based on technicalities. In more realistic terms every western first world state is a republic, as all have a constitution, and a democracy, as all are (ostensibly) ruled by the will of the majority of it's citizens.
So yes, the USA has always been a democracy, more specifically a constitutional republic.
Edit: nice profile picture by the way. I just took notice of it
@@XD-inatorExactly what Trump sweared to destroy
The electorate didn't shift right, the democrats simply shifted hard left.
Americaaaa 🔥🔥💯🗣️🇺🇸🇺🇸
We taking this bih back
It’s not to the right, it’s TO THE RIGHT. Like voting for Mitt Romney and voting for Trump is like two different levels of right.
Why
My family is majority democratic and a i grew up always identifying as a liberal. But i would say in the past 5 years my views have slowly changed ive had a lot of interal dialogue and figured out that my beliefs allign more with the right.
Happy to have you on the team!
Hey you seem to be smart
You’re probably going to find out soon that you were actually always a liberal, but the democrats alienated you by not doing anything helpful for the last 8 years. Its not that you’re more right wing. Its just that the democrats dont stand for what the average liberal really wants anymore. Not to mention, the republicans have become slightly more liberal in recent years, making them a much more palateable choice for the average american liberal.
Same with me the left always sort of looks at the present and not the future they don’t seem to realise actions have consequences.
Oh no, people use democracy to choose their leader… the guy we didn’t like… democracy has never been weaker
the main reason for this is general distrust in the government now, most people think that no matter who they vote, they aren't going to help the many issues in America. Trump just seems to either have gotten lucky or capitalized of this with his slogan "Make American Great Again" which fueled the republican party above the democrats.
we're literally living in an episode of The Boys rn 💀

"I like trump because I hate inflation!" -- Trump proposes tariffs designed to...increase inflation. Birds chirp.
Just say you don’t understand how terriffs work
@@aw8580bro tried to dunk on someone while spelling the word wrong and also not knowing that we pay the tariffs when goods are imported into the US. A “China tariff” just means the suppliers have to pay more to bring you the goods we import from China….
I’m really tired of all you people who, I’d bet, don’t have a degree in economics, thinking you know how tariffs, inflation or the economy work. You heard some rhetoric from someone else or a RUclips video and now you think you know how the economy works….
@enlighten us then, you can’t just trash talk and not provide anything of value after
It would increase the prices of certain categories of goods and that too only for imported ones. It's a move meant to strengthen the domestic markets and avoid a race to the bottom. It's classic economic protectionism.
I wish Democrats would take this as a wake up call to go back to people who actually work for a living but it looks like they're just doubling down on calling everyone racist bigots or whatever.
“American Democracy is now in great danger.”
Right, even though he won the popular vote this time.
It’s more him telling people that they wouldn’t need to vote in 2028 than him winning tbh
@@doomsdaylamb This. But when you mention it to people they say its just hyperbole he didn't say that, he doesn't mean anything by it.
@@doomsdaylambWhat are you saying? Are you saying that voting won’t matter in 2028?

A lot of his “81 million” votes just seemed to disappear this year. I wonder what happened?
Those votes never existed
I’M VERY SURPRISED!!
Had no idea Vox is still around.
Democracy is in danger !?!?!?! Pretty sure we all voted correctly
Why are New Hampshire and Maine combined in the maps shown 😭 Like there’s no border between them
When that 25% tariff hits Canada and Mexico, ya know our largest trade partners by far, there are gonna be a lot of hungry children in our near future.
Do you even know how trump is even going to use those tariffs…. Go research it.. (it’s for leverage for better trade deals etc. and of course if you tariff something prices will go up that’s how it works)
@ that’s… not how tariffs work my guy lol
@@nathanlowry9421 uhh did you even read what I said… trump is using tariffs for leverage..
@@nathanlowry9421 and children being hungry in the future is nearly impossible trump’s main point (also) to his tariffs is to bring businesses and jobs to the USA
@ dude other than like for political reasons the world could basically be cured of world hunger. Who do you think looks down on free lunches at school? It’s certainly not the dems. Y’all wanna talk a big game about solving child hunger and turn around and deny the actual applications to fix the problem right here on our soil. Clearly either too privileged to know what’s actually going on or are just disingenuous. Check out how you’ll probably say “well that’s not what I think” while supporting the organization that literally shoots those kinds of programs down first.
That's when the woke mind virus had awakened the ordinary and people who still have common-sense, this is the phase where we need to get all things to the "RIGHT."
Its a broad shift to the traditional Center, not Right.
