These are the people that vote. Worth listening to what their thought process is. I don’t know how to even change the minds of people like this.

    TLDR:

    Woman doesn’t like how nobody like Republicans, and treat them with disdain. Also schools are changing too quickly under Biden (she is a public school teacher)

    Left man says taxes are crazy high, and Biden isn’t doing anything to lower prices on anything.

    Right man: Trump delivered on everything he promised and he could have done more if the Democrats had just stopped fighting him.

      Thanks, also the school teacher said something along the lines of “there’s no way Biden won in 2020 because that many people would never vote for him”. These people have their delusional minds made up and nothing can change it. SMH

        I wonder if she’s also questioning the 2016 election where Trump won, but only because of Electoral College votes. Even then the majority of Americans didn’t want Trump, but we followed the Constitution and complained, but didn’t mount an insurrection. Four years later, when AGAIN more Americans voted for Biden, but Biden had more Electoral College votes, Trump supporters violently attacked the Capitol building.

        I personally just think the people in the video need an external thing to blame for life being hard.

        The teacher should know the curriculum changes. It’s not a Bible.

        The restaurant owner should have realized it’s a tough industry. Always has been.

        Don’t know what copium the last dude is using but I need it. Trump as an outside businessman shouldn’t have been able to fold to insider beurecratic pressure.

    Technically this does not meet our guidelines as it’s a video you have to watch and not an article. I’m giving it a pass for now because @Coasting0942@reddthat.com has a good tl;dr and there are decent upvotes.

    If the community turns on it with downvotes and reports, we’ll probably pull it. I really wish it were done as an article or transcript because it’s good information to get out there.

    These people embody the worst of American voters.

    Miss “Middle America” has a hard time coming to grips that correlation does not imply causation. Any public school teacher should know that and it scares me that people like her are in charge of our country’s youth and their ability to think.

    Our business friend is just a straight-up smooth-brain. Debt rises during times of war as strategic services and trade routes get bungled, as well as the marked increase of weapon-related transactions. We saw it with Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now to a smaller degree in Ukraine and the Israeli-Palestinian war. Biden is dealing with (albeit poorly, imo) the ramifications of two wars he did not start, so it should be obvious businesses are not getting hand-outs like Trump offered (i.e. PPP loans).

    Saving the best for last, Colonel Asshat shows remarkable sociopathic qualities. He only cares for himself, and fucking says as much.

    The first two people could be educated on their poor political foundations and presumably become effective voters in a proper democratic system. The older gentleman on the other hand is a lost cause, and simply speaks volumes that socioeconomic issues in America will not change for the better until the older generation of politicians are removed from their positions of power.
