I am a Bernie supporter also. I was not excusing the Dems only thinking of why people would vote for  Trump.

Thank  you for your comments. My view is that many factors caused the defeat of Harris that had nothing to do with the Democtric party. Individuals vote. In the hearts and minds of the Trump voters many factors pushed the hand that marked the ballot.

One is that abused people idenify with the agressor . Fantasies play a part. Some very poor want to protect the rich so that when they themselves become rich everything willbe in place for them,

Obedience is taught in some churches and families. Do what you are told to survive. 

The lack of critical thinking was a major factor. Our school system and the lack of righer educaton for the poor can be blamed.

Regardless of the reasons we are where we are with the problem of what to do about it.

For now we can do good where we see and help those who wil be in harms way due to Trump. We can build a comunity to help the disenfranchised. In doing so we can protect our morality and not live in dispair. Together we can build a better world.
