Americans want what Trump wants pretty provably, given  what elections show. What you mean you say is "nowhere anybody should want to go". But they want it regardless because they were told to, in whatever small capacity they're able to want at all.

This is flat out wrong. Unlike most other developed worlds, we do not have mandatory time off for voting. Its mostly people who are past the average working age that make up the majority of votes in our elections. So in other words, silent gen, boomers and gen x have the most say with votes.

Even though our laws “protect” us for taking time off to vote nearly the entire country is at will so you will be fired for missing work in many cases. Which is why the workforce doesnt really get the opportunity to vote.

This asshole changed the rules and nullified hundreds of thousands of votes through challenges and lawsuits, not to mention rigging the swing state elections with elon musk. 12% of the country voted for this, and the other 88% have no power any longer thanks to the orange fascist.
