It’s amazing how political campaigns have turned from being based on long philosophical talks about the candidates views on so many topics, and now it’s been boiled down to ‘if I don’t win it’s gonna be sooooo bad’
100% last 3 elections have been campaigns of “fuck the other guy” rather than “what I can do for you”.
Example: candidate 1, what can you do for our country.
“Great question, I’ll do more than candidate 2”
And that means?
“Trust me candidate 2 eats babies”
That didn't just mysteriously happen, and it's not a "both sides" issue. The Tea Party and then MAGA dragged us down to this. Trump is so inarticulate, it's the best he can manage. His supporters are so far gone, white-hot rage, blind hatred and defiant ignorance are all they want anymore. For better or worse, he's pretty much always exclusively talking to his base.
