I legitimately did not believe it was possible for this to happen. There’s always a hateful minority but I believe people as a whole are good. How did this happen?

    The hateful minority have run a campaign championing selfishness and ignorance and the vicarious absolution thereof.

    it’s much easier to be selfish and ignorant than it is to be considerate and responsible.

    conservatives are selfish and ignorant and their party is very successfully campaigning selfishness and ignorance.

    on the other hand, the democrats have to convince people that childish short-term desires are not always the best decision for themselves and others.

    Trump is telling everybody that if you want to steal a cheeseburger from somebody else and eat it, then you should.

    Harris is telling everybody that stealing is wrong and counterproductive, and cheeseburgers are not healthy.

    or, since Trump is a rapist:

    Trump is telling conservatives it’s good to rape people If they want to rape people.

    Harris is telling people that it isn’t good to rape people because it violates their dignity and free will.
