45. i've spoken to a lot of people - it's anecdotal evidence i understand

Aug 2025

but many of them, who have Democratic values, voted for trump for the reasons i mentioned earlier, but essentially:

- President Biden did a lot of good things, but we hardly ever heard about them
- President Biden promised to be a transitional 1 term President. He changed his mind and then did a very bad first debate. The people i've spoken to keep asking why that happened and why it was hidden from the voters
- Did not feel ready to vote for a woman, and in any case only had a 100 days to get to know the candidate
- if trump did so many things wrong, why was he not charged sooner (good question for garland)
- if the Democrats want to win why are they not giving a message for the majority of voters to get behind


Republicans are masters of empty talk and messaging. They turn strengths into weaknesses. They made liberal a bad word. Now the same with woke. They turned John Kerry, a war hero, into a coward compared to the true coward George Bush who snuck his way out of serving. They make a 5 time bankrupt businessman appear as brilliant with money. These are the messages out there and we have not responded to these. So, yes, i believe there is foreign interference and we are not fighting back against it effectively.

President Biden won the election during a time when trump had all the power. We lost an election when we had the power. If there was foreign interference, we had the tools to fight it, highlight it, bring attention to it.
