    True but people shouldn’t have voted for a sociopath either. There is more blame there.

      people are stupid, that’s just how things are. They don’t want to know the truth or listen to highly targeted and nuanced policies for small business owners til their eyes glaze over. They want to be told their wildest dreams will come true like Pedro in Napoleon Dynamite. Dems have not learned how to deal with that.

      You don’t consider it sociopathic to look at poor people tell them: “Have you just tried being happy?” That was Democrats’ entire message for months of the campaign.

      I think that the real story is that economy was doing slightly better, and this is what caused everyone to be so pissed. Its slight uptick caused people to stop and say’ “What, that’s it? Where is mine? Everybody should Fuck Off”. When the economy slightly down-ticks, people tend to be more understanding. Humans are generally shitty and short sighted, especially those that voted for Trump.

      Stop pretending dems aren’t also sociopaths. You can prefer them to Trump, but stop gas lighting people about how the dems are actually good.
