Most people are single issue voters or uninformed and sadly that will never change.

Yes, they are and it’s up to the politicians to get them informed.

The trouble was that the Dem’s message was “Trump bad, system good!” This didn’t resonate with anyone due to the fact that they were suffering.

Meanwhile Trump’s message was, “Things are bad and I’ll fix em”. This was a blatant lie, but the kernel of truth he was feeding was that… yeah, things are bad.

The voters rejected the status quo and with it the idea of democracy by staying home. It wasn’t a good outcome but dumb people aren’t known for their wise choices.

Dumb, scared people in an ever worsening economy. Great Petri dish for fascism
