In 2016, he was the only one talking about jobs, in 2024, he was correctly acknowledging that things hadn't improved under Biden. Culture War bullshit is always going to be secondary to paying rent.

    That must be why they aren't doing shit about rent, but invent new culture war bs all the time.

    No, I'm sorry, but propaganda is all you need.

    The republicans don't actually want to help the working class, but creating a lie that explains what you're experiencing is infinitely more effective than denying the material reality for nearly all americans and telling us better things aren't possible.

    I...guess? I mean, your hypothetical kinda doesn't make sense is all. I mean, every single announcement outta this illegitimate administration flat out contradicts reality, and obviously they've convinced people better things aren't possible - until you get rid of the undesirables, of course.

    So not really sure what you're trying to say here...

    This admin's popularity is in the gutter and they will lose both the midterms and next election.

    But if another Biden wins in 2028, maintaining Trump's policies while pretending to be powerless to help the people who voted for him, it guarantees they get knocked out in the midterms and then Trump jr or kegsbreath or some other fascist ghoul wins in 2032.

    they’ve convinced people better things aren’t possible - until you get rid of the undesirables, of course.

    Correct, thats not a good story, but it matches his base's expectations. It appeals to racists more than "better things aren't possible because the scotus, the parliamentarian, John fetterman, the AG just needs time to button everything up" or whatever horse shit the dems feed their base and expect to be reelected.
