I don't like Harris very much. But the fact that half the country is willing to choose a deranged con artist over her is just beyond any rational thought.
It's all fear based. They think the migrants coming across the border are coming to take their job, rape them, break into their home, shop at the same Walmart as them, etc.
I've lately been watching some radio shows on the BBC, and it's wild to see the same things happening over there. I don't know if it's just how modern society has become or if it spread from us or them, but take away the British accents and the names and policies, and it's the same insanity. What the hell is wrong with people?

They have always been racist, but the populists taking advantage of them use Russian tactics and are backed by Russia.
Stuff like Trump and Brexit is not normal, and it's not just happening spontaneously because all the racists decided to be more overt at the same time around the world.
To be fair, it's not like everyone that doesn't vote hates him. Some do I'm sure, but there's also going to be people that think favorably of him but don't bother voting, just as there are and have been for his opponents
Trump voters fear immigrants; Fear their guns, religion and identity are somehow being taken away. They fear and refuse to understand the world is constantly changing and that we need to adapt along with it.

Most of the American people don’t have something to vote for, only something to vote against. The ruling class is further detached for the working class by stoking culture wars gaslighting on the socioeconomic disparage
