warning signs I noticed over the last 2 years in San Diego:
- The 7/11 cholo clerk who had a huge Trump sticker on his phone, works the grave shift at 7/11, guy probably makes $15 a an hour
- A few of my homies who did fed time, and are now mostly legit small business owners, very vocal about Trump
- Bottle service/club girls I know, in their mid 30's with no kids, no degrees, none of that shyt
- My homies who know virtually nothing of politics, like not even state/fed, unless it's a criminal case
- Educated women I know, who come from conservative/very religious backgrounds, very vocal
- Working class/blue collar guys of all races
-a fukking convicted federal felon who was indicted AND deported for drug trafficking, a non US citizen, who does not speak english, said he wanted Trump back
whereas all the Harris supporters I know are 100% professional class, and highly educated. Didn't even know and DIDN"T want to know anyone voting for Trump.
Also, reading all those small R columnists in the NY Times, about populism, about the economy, about inflation. There was one that said populism is like an infection from a body reacting to a system, a loss of trust in the current ways of governing. it's a warning sign.
My Dad and I kept having the same argument, I would say Dad, it' doesn't matter what the Fed is doing, or what the rate of inflation is to most people. He would insist the economy was great. Me? I pay from a fat roll of $100 bills, but working people are hit in the gut hard the last few years. Like I would never tell that clerk the economy is great. but that's what has been going on.
