> [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > I hear these intelligent people around me (older white men. why do you ask?) and people online supporting insurrectionist Trump and I’m at the point of thinking, “Are you fucking joking?” I’ve been perusing the [NY times Election live feed](https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11/05/us/trump-harris-election) this morning which has a few snippets from various people as to who they are voting for and why they are voting that way. Some of the Trump voters comment about how they don’t like how Trump acts sometimes but they they just spout verbatim the pro-Trump talking points, “With Trump we didn’t have this inflation. Trump kept us out of war. Trump kept the border closed.” Its pretty clear that these weren’t the reasons that they were supporting Trump, but rather they had pre-decided to support the Republican, and these were the rationalizations that they had been fed to do so. > [@Saint\_Cad](#): > > As a Republican-at-heart still, I ask you Democrats that you forget everything you learned about how to run a presidential campaign from Harris’ run this year.

You get your former party to forget everything they learned about campaigning on a platform of disinformation, fear and loathing and we’ll think about it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/election-day-omnibus-thread/1009683)._
