this is just heartbreaking. how can WOMEN sit there and say "you don't see women building skyscrapers"?
first of all, they very much do. second, what does that have to do with being president? third, how can you say your own gender can't run the country?

this was the hardest to read. the sexism i expected, but i do not, cannot, and will not ever understand how anyone can listen to trump speak, much less believe him, and certainly not to the unshakable degree that has been demonstrated.
@Helena_Handbasket it's all slogans and sound bytes. doesn't matter what the sum total of his speech is, they have tiktok attention spans and are tuning most of it out. all they pick up on is "bacon is so expensive!" "the RADICAL LEFT" "babies killed in the 9th month" "she's a stupid, horrible woman" etc. and if they don't hear it first-hand it's the sane-washed version from mainstream media.
@dietotaku How do they understand what he’s even talking about? His wildly meandering word slurries are impossible to parse. They make no sense! I genuinely think people do not actually listen to him or really see him, they hear what they want to hear and see whatever hero in him that they want to see. None of it is based on reality.
