    Yeah… I hear you. Unfortunately ignorance and echo-chambers abound and low-educated uninformed voters are exploited by massive right-wing megaphones.

    If it makes you feel better, Trump never once won the popular vote and the polls the last 2 election cycles have skewed toward Trump because Millennials and Gen Z are underrepresented. Moreover there really isn’t any sign that Trump is magically garnering more Trump supporters who weren’t already. To the contrary, 4 years have passed with his most ardent base of boomers dying off while a massive number of new young adults have since entered the fold. (here’s hoping Taylor Swift keeps pushing Voter registration). Trump has no incumbent advantage. The economy (by Republican standards) is doing great. Everyone is on to the maga attempt to steal elections and that has for the most part been dismantled.

    So assuming high turnout, the fascists will be routed once again.

      Thank you for the good news. It’s refreshing to hear something positive for a change. I hope the situation develops similarly here in Germany. It’s great to see hundreds of thousands of people taking to the streets to rally against the resurgence of right-wing populism and fascism in our country. So apparently not all hope is lost yet. Let’s hope for the best.
