Trump and Kamala were held to completely different standards (the lawless vs flawless point).
This is an excellent point. Unfair and very effective for Trump's campaign. It's just odd to hear fellow liberals talk about her as if she was the worst bc of Israel/Palestine or some other issue when we know the reality of what Trump wants and how dangerous he is.
I agree that people's ignorance massively helps Trump because he can say whatever they want to hear. He can shock them with wild statements and he doesn't need to be held accountable. And even if he doesn't come through with whatever wild thing he says, people won't care because they operate as a cult. Kamala can't get away with this.
None of Trump's supporters will admit these economic trends and they will certainly attribute the good times to him. There's also this narrative that Trump is saving the US from communism. It's ridiculous when you look at the Democratic leadership but it's so easy to trigger that fear in Americans and in immigrants.
There's nothing here!
