32. Who is we?
Mon Oct 14, 2024, 07:43 AM

The schools, the family collectively, the media, or government economists? These idiots get their information from other idiots on tiktok and reddit, and from Joe Rogan podcasts, an analysis of how gas prices are influenced by any number of domestic and international factors would not help educate someone who thinks Trump is a business genius.

And what kind of goofball tells an interviewer that he thinks Kamala Harris will react to situations "emotionally" while Trump will be forceful and logical? This is Incel speak for I ain't voting for a girl.

And where does NBC -- and the media in general -- find the idiots they invite to their focus groups? Do they go door to door and ask if anyone has a 18 to 25 year son living in the basement? Do they go to a high school football game and see if any recent graduates are still hanging around the parking lot trying to pick up girls?

And at the end of it all, they pretty much admit a good number of these cretins won't vote anyway, and will be outvoted by young women voters.

Waste of time, this piece of journalism.
