I hate him, but I am only voting Trump because my taxes and HOA keep going up.
The democrats went too hard on the whole free Palestine crap, Israel has a right to defend itself
democrats care more about illegal immigrants than me
all the protesters and homeless are scary
after this election, prices will go back to normal
we need someone who is tough on crime
after the vaccine mandate I just don’t want to vote for someone that wants to control my body (a woman who is undergoing IVF)

Great job finding a base that has no intention of supporting you Democrats, you are gonna get smoked this November. Homeowners are majority dumber than rocks and conservatives.

Here's a hot take:

Someone said "people tend to vote for the party/people they think have done the most to improve their material conditions". If you look at the usa, neither party has done shit for the average person in a very long time.

So how then do people decide how to vote? Vibes and conspiracy theories.
