11. I think a lot of people do not know.

Trump's campaign did a good job (barfed a little when I wrote that) convincing voters that he was the "common sense" candidate and Harris was "extreme."

The portrayal worked, even though it was the opposite of reality. Some people will never wake up. Others knew all along who Trump is and don't care (a lot of right-wing so-called Christians in that group, some of the biggest hypocrites I've ever met).

But millions of voters just didn't bother to become fully informed. They watched the TV ads during Monday night football and voted against the "scary communist DEI lady who wants to give all our money to illegal gangsters because she's crazy." That's how she was portrayed and we failed to refute it.
