So he insulted most of his base. Those data centers are mostly in poor and rural areas, which makes up the bulk of his supporters.

I hate to say this, but does his "base" even matter anymore? He was voted in, the bad guys won, and project 2025 is destroying the US as we speak. I know history is full of ups and downs but... this is a really hard time to accept is happening. I'm sorry, but I can't begin to give two fucks about all the mouth breathers feeling slightly less enthusiastic about giving their mind and souls to Maga.

I mean, leopards eating people's faces, and all that, but you should care about Trump's base losing faith in him. They're excitable weirdos who think violence is a valid solution to their problems. Telling them to stew in the juices of their own bad decisions isn't going to go well for anyone.

Mind, I'm not saying you should coddle them, but the social conditions which are most closely correlated to violent crime* will only get worse if people aren't putting in the effort to address them. We'll have to drag conservatives kicking and screaming into the future (like we always do), but if we don't we might as well be cooking the recipe for violence ourselves.

* The social conditions correlated to violent crime are:

  • Poverty

  • High economic disparity (the financial "distance" between the rich and the poor)

  • Job insecurity

  • Food insecurity

  • Lack of access to quality healthcare

  • Lack of access to quality education

  • Lack of enforcement on crimes known to be part of a pattern of escalating violence (like stalking, assault, and domestic abuse)

I know the list reads like a MAGA wet dream, but that's the point (and the problem)

Ugh. My head tells me you're right, but the inner spirit groans and collapses at the thought of trying to deprogram an entire nation permanently spun up and angry at "DEM GITDURN LIBZ DESTROYING MURICA WID DA TRANZZZ GROOOOMERZ!!!"

Seriously: how does one compete with a Fox News?
