Your last paragraph may be more correct than the issue of economics. After all, Trump and the right wing kept hammering away at Harris's socialism, nay, communism because she wanted to do something about housing, grocery costs, child care and small business. Too many are plugged into entertainment and demand it in all phases of life, to the point of, my dog, having TVs in bathrooms. Trump was their ongoing hijinks show (What will he say or do next?). Stay tuned. Their attention is so droolingly rapt that they seem indifferent to their own needs and interests, if they even have any interests. Promise circuses over bread.

And finally, Harris and Walz failed to straight forwardly address the genocide in Gaza. My city, Dearborn, once reliably Democratic, went for Trump because the Dems offered no hope, must less minimal attention to the slaughter. Their despair and anger are palpable. I have no idea how the Dems get the Arab American community back unless Trump begins deporting some of them along with those from south of the border.

Trump hates Muslims as do Republicans. He has said he wants them out of the Country. Trump and Netanyahu are close. As for as Trump, he's fine with eliminating Gaza. The slaughter is just a bonus. Voting for Jill Stein was a mistake.
