Yep; just astounding. And it was tragically comic to see an NBC reporter interview a Hispanic family in Arizona who voted for Trump declare, "yes, we have undocumented family here, but they haven't committed any crimes." Ummmmm, they are here illegally. And being here illegally just moved up to #1 on the American crimefighting priorities list.
November 8, 2024
Social media has been flooded today with stories of Trump voters who are shocked to learn that tariffs will raise consumer prices as reporters are covering that information.heathercoxrichardson.substack.com
From the above link.
Marcotte recalled that Catherine Rampell and Youyou Zhou of the Washington Post showed before the election that voters overwhelmingly preferred Harris’s policies to Trump’s if they didn’t know which candidate proposed them. An Ipsos/Reuters poll from October showed that voters who were misinformed about immigration, crime, and the economy tended to vote Republican, while those who knew the facts preferred Democrats. Many Americans turn for information to social media or to friends and family who traffic in conspiracy theories. As Angelo Carusone of Media Matters put it: “We have a country that is pickled in right-wing misinformation and rage.”

Was thinking that on my drive this morning to grab some breakfast. “I hate Obamacare but I’m loving the Affordable Care Act”.
Well, FAFO
House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises 'massive reform' if Trump wins
The Republican speaker said at an event in Pennsylvania that overhauling health care would be a major focus and that “Trump’s going to go big” if he takes the presidency.

Yep, so these will go over well.
'Litigation is a certainty': Trump's call to end birthright citizenship would face a mountain of opposition
An executive order would kick-start a legal fight that could lead to a Supreme Court ruling.

It’s the weirdest thing. I was much more angry or upset back in 2020 about the prospect of Trump being reelected during that election cycle. This time, not only am I not angry or upset, but I’m happy for all of these folks who are going to get to reap the benefits of their vote. That’s democracy, baby.
You want economic recession? Great. Almost every single Republican presidential administration since World War II has triggered an economic recession. You want to terrorize and deport immigrants who are here working and peacefully contributing to our society? Great. When you can’t afford produce or meat at the grocery store anymore, or when you can’t buy a house because construction prices have exploded, at least there won’t be any brown people around. When you want to try to get by on a fixed income in retirement and enjoy your golden years, but can’t because your Social Security benefits and your disability benefits and your Medicare benefits have been reduced, at least you owned those rich, elitist libs. When your buying power gets slashed because literally almost every consumer item has components affected by proposed tariffs, at least you owned those rich, elitist libs. When you’re approaching retirement age but can’t retire because Elon Musk and Peter Thiel crashed the stock market, at least you stuck it to the elites. When your parents or other older family members get sick and need round the clock care but can’t afford it, and you can’t afford it either because you thought that Medicare was socialism, at least you put those commies in their place. When your special needs child or your first-generation/low-income student loses all educational access and opportunity because the Department of Education is gone, at least they can go work for minimum wage in the meat packing jobs vacated by all of the brown people you deported. When your wife, daughter, or girlfriend find out in the week 22 of pregnancy anatomy scan that their baby is missing half its skull and organs, at least you stuck it to all of those theoretical mothers out there who don’t exist who were seeking recreational 39 week elective abortions.
Elections have consequences!

So why did she never talk about these things in interviews or rallies?

She did. The media spent the majority of their time covering DJT and social media was overwhelmed with disinformation and foreign interference.
Frankly, you being a progressive with a high degree of knowledge possibly being unaware of elements of her policy reflects how seemingly impossible it was to get the message out to the masses. I'm not certain anyone could've overcome the volume of disinformation in this particular political climate.
It's a serious problem.

Wait for the stupefied long faces when the mass of maga on Medicaid and SSDI finds their benefits evicerated. “To hell with those bullshit Medicaid handouts to all those useless eaters! If they were smart they’d get on KCHIP/Georgia Families/Healthy Connections/TennCare/Soonercare/etc.”Was thinking that on my drive this morning to grab some breakfast. “I hate Obamacare but I’m loving the Affordable Care Act”.

I’m not unaware of her policy, I probably watched more Kamala Harris speeches and interviews than 90% of people on this forum, so you can miss me with that.
We all know exactly what she ran on. The things she said in every speech is what she was running on. She didn’t present the case for 90% of these policies. If we’re in a race of who will cut more taxes, Republicans will win.
Just because a policy is listed in an 82 page manual that no one read doesn’t mean the campaign embraced that policy and ran on it.

I mean, there's plenty of interviews where she did just that. Her campaign rallies in particular covered all of these topics.
The framework of the policies you suggested earlier weren't part of her platform are listed in her economic plan. I simply shared the link to help.

BotsIn several states won by Trump people are starting to realize just how bad it’s about to get. Google trends shows a spike in the search “how do I change my vote?”

Sad to admit, but I would be delighted to see this come to pass and see MAGA voters realize they are suffering exclusively at their own hands.
BUT - they will never come to this realization. The same right-wing media and pink slime ecosystem will shift the blame to Democrats 24/7 somehow, and just as they have demonstrated to us for the last 9 years, they will eat that shit up faster than a bucket of KFC.
It will be a perpetual demonization of Democrats - some kind of "Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia" - for as long as it will work.

Yeah I gave Paine a "like" because I thought he was being sarcastic.
I'm baffled that he doesn't realize that she ran on every single one of these issues.

An executive order would kick-start a legal fight that could lead to a Supreme Court ruling.
Assuming SCOTUS found this to be legal, this would be an administrative nightmare.
Nobody is given a certificate of citizenship at birth. Our birth certificates prove citizenship. Now for anyone born after this goes into effect, all administration agencies will have to somehow investigate the citizenship status of the parents. This might be a decade or two after the person was born.
