Media Bias Fact Check | bot support

Robert A. Bridy, 64, a laborer from Shamokin, Pennsylvania, traveled to the rally to show support for Trump. He said the election feels tight in this state and added that his union and a close friend are trying to convince him to vote for Harris and other Democrats, but he has voted for Trump since 2016.

“It’s close. You can’t change Democrats’ minds no matter what. They’ve got a one-track mind, and that’s it,” he said.

Bridy called Trump a “working class guy like us.” Trump is a billionaire who built his fortune in real estate.

“He’s a fighter,” Bridy said. “I’d like to see the closed borders. He doesn’t mess around. He goes at it right away and takes care of business the way it should be.”

The brain washing that’s been done to these people is truly something else.

No need to worry!

It’s only ~50% of the people you transact with!

You mean 22%?

Rump got 74 million votes in 2020, which is 22% of the US total population of 330M.

I mean of people who were arsed to vote!

And there’s ZERO reason to argue that it’s not reflective of the general population.

And it’s ONE THIRD of the eligible voters (c.250M?). As are the Dems. One third doesn’t vote!

Why the pedantry?

They’ve had some support but they mainly did it to themselves.

This actually tells you how to convince these people to vote for you. Hint: they don’t care about policies.

Remember when trump said “Take the guns first, then worry about it later”? That’s what these people like: action. The Democrats should just act and force the Supreme Court to stop them.

Declare all student loans forgiven and let the Republicans deal with the fallout. Negotiate more than 20 drug prices, for all Americans immediately. Direct the FTC to investigate food price collusion. This shit literally grows on trees and you can buy fresh food directly from farmers for almost nothing. Moving it a few hours away to a city should not jack up the price substantially.

They truly live in a completely different world then the rest of the… well, world.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

The Republicans started with that command though. They’ve been denying facts for _ decades_.

The republicans have a massive advantage in the electoral college. Half of them can stay home and still elect their president. The democrats need nearly full turnout to counter them. It’s a supremely unfair system that one party will never let go of because it’s the only thing keeping them competitive.
