You're right that most American's didn't give a shit, but even those who did knew that the genocide was not on the ballot.

Or rather, "no genocide plz" wasn't on the ballot. Not on a viable choice, FPTP voting, etc, etc. The choices were "same old stuff" and "foot on the gas, bomb it into pink and gray dust and build a chintzy resort."

Exactly. And the Democrats made it even worse for themselves by claiming there was no economic crisis - that Biden had beaten inflation, beaten unemployment, and claims of a bad economy were just Republican propaganda. The American people looked at their paychecks and grocery bills and called bullshit. Harris was right that Trump would govern as a fascist dictator with Project 2025 as the roadmap - but the Democrats lied to America's face about the economy and that made everything else they said sound untrustworthy too.

If the Dems had taken America's economic struggles seriously, Harris would be President now. But Biden refused to admit his economy was bad and Harris didn't have the guts to contradict Biden. And here we are.

It's mostly that second part.

Even when democrats say they support change for the middle class, they feel like nothing meaningful gets passed because democrats don't actually represent them. Gaza is a part of this: those who see the obvious genocide happening are incredulous that their party won't do anything about it.

People have lost faith in liberalism, and I think its for good reason.

There was a whole Muslims for Trump contingent in many swing states specifically because of the genocide.

Yes, and the rise in the cost of living was because of the housing crisis. The Democratic party didn't contribute to Inflation. People buying epic amounts of real estate caused the inflation. Ironically, it was Silicon Valley and Musk followers who were grabbing up most of the real estate after the pandemic. That land is being appropriated for their "freedom cities," or company towns, where their soulless employees can live. I think they plan to stash their loyal followers in these cities while this country devolves into civil war and chaos. Yes, they really do want to trigger a civil war or race war. They will house only those stupid enough to work for them in "smart" cities, where technology and AI keeps everyone under tight watch. Just heard on MSNBC that the data Musk and his hackers stole from their DOGE raid is being used to assemble a database on Americans for surveillance purposes. China has done this to their people. Time to go low profile, seriously.
