That really will tank the global economy.

Everyone in Europe should be concerned and watching Russia closely.

No they’re not neutral they’re pro business but they are one of the more neutral outfits. Most publications make an editorial endorsement. Even if they were incredibly left leaning the points made in the quote I shared are literal facts. My point was I don’t know how people disregard them and...

From the Economist - notorious left wing rag ;) “Some comeback stories are the stuff of political legend. Donald Trump, a convicted felon who sought to subvert the 2020 presidential election, is poised to return to the White House. He will be the oldest man ever to be elected president in...

See that fear I can at least understand and suspect it’s more of a factor than some “elites” moaning on twitter.

In some ways community and looking out for each other are more important than ever so I get your point Pete.

This is my frustration with Trumps isolationist. So much of the development we have seen is due to post WW2 cooperation.

For the reason you gave “uneducated people are easily influenced and swallow”

The lower your education level the more likely you are to vote for a populist. It might be correlation not causation but them the facts and you know it, you just don’t like it. I can understand why it would make you uncomfortable though.

Obviously wouldn’t want to cloud your thinking but as a parent I’m starting to live in dread. My fears are disruption due to climate change and European security. Both likely to be made worse by Trump.

She was but putting that aside most haven’t sneered just pointed out Trump will likely be the worse option for poorer people. It’s not sneering to point that out the policy documents all suggest tax breaks will go to businesses. Most of us making this point are also working class. Why don’t we...

I’m not sure there’s any surprise the polls were pretty much bang on. As I said yesterday they had Trump to take the swing states and he has.

So posters on here calling the US backwards today caused people to vote for Trump yesterday?

Yes but overall there is still a correlation between level of education and vote.

Exit polls suggesting it was view on the economy that drive the result and not elites talking down to people. Dems been blamed for global inflation post Covid.

It’s not meaningless picking specific individual examples is irrelevant

There’s a correlation between voting and education. Why is it unacceptable to talk about this?

So is Trump. I would accept this explanation even if I didn’t feel the same way if it was logically coherent but it isn’t.

The other thing to consider is republicans so keep damaging education so the implication is they agree.

But again it doesn’t make sense. She’s responding to something that has happened but apparently that’s to blame?
