Some people couldn't bear to stare at the true ugliness of what America is, as Trump pushed it towards the surface to an uncomfortable degree.You wonder what share of the Democratic vote is simply a wish for that ugliness to be concealed rather than actually corrected.
Pretty much all of them
Conservative politician governs like a conservative.Unlike Trump though, he won’t revel in it. He might even make a sad face. Which is what liberalism is, ultimately. Making sad faces about unnecessary decisions with heinous consequences.
I thought Matt Christman from Chapo put it pretty well in one of his recent streams: for conservatives, the cruelty is the point; for liberals, the cruelty is an unfortunate side-effect.
I pretty much completely checked out of following American politics in December. It’s too depressing that Biden was chosen as the “cure against Trumpism”. The other day I googled Bernie just to see what was happening, and the first thing that came up was Neera Tanden’s confirmation hearing and I felt such a seething anger that I decided I was done for good.

How many fireplaces has this humble man got!?
I wouldn't have thought most destitute black people or 1st + 2nd generation immigrants would be among that contingent.
They believe in the "American dream" as much as anyone, in spite of everything. And there are plenty of immigrants (in America and I imagine pretty much everywhere) who are in favour of keeping more immigrants out.
That pair of images suggests that Ol' Joe threw the dog into the fire.
Yep. As I understand it, Trump's 'macho' bullshit appealed hugely to male Latinos. He got a shockingly high share of the US Latino vote.
