There has never been an explanation of how a person who is a known rapist, known liar, known fraudster, known thief of classified documents, known seller of information which got operatives killed, is allowed to run for office. It defies explanation.

people have been screaming the answer at you, yet you ignore it. The American middle class was gutted by outsourcing labor and they're not happy about it. It couldn't get more simple.

But that's a non-answer since Trump's party wants to make a lot of that worse

It's still an answer since most people base their vote on emotions and identity, not rational evaluation of policy.

do you think they even care anymore? They lost everything, they just want to see the world burn. Again, I'm truly shocked by how you all lack empathy and fail to see the obvious.

Would I try to make things better even for strangers if I had no empathy?

I know why plenty of them feel what they feel. But they're assigning blame in the wrong directions, in large part due to propaganda, and that propaganda needs to be countered or else there won't be enough support to actually implement the fixes.

... They do want their problems fixed, right?

lol because Biden is brining the jobs back. Can you tell me one politician you support that is ACTUALLY trying to fix the rust belt? No one is helping them. They have been discarded by society, so they are lashing out.

The Republican governors are actively opting out of federal support programs, what else can the president do?

Republicans have abandoned them, and Republicans pretend it's society at large and not them doing it.
