Man, even the Trump "I did this" stickers will be too expensive
I've been considering ordering a bunch of these.
Ah man, and I like red hats. Not MAGA, but just a nice fitted red hat. Another reason to not like the cult of 45.
Cult 45
Instead of colt 45
Better stock up now.
- My Trump supporting uncle after he survived a 12 foot head first fall and changed to extreme opposite personality
At least brain damage is an understandable reason for voting Trump. What's everyone else's excuse?
For boomers it is lead poisoning from gasoline.
Also lead in home paint.
It's (at least part of) where the 'paint chip eater' meme/joke of boomers comes from.
Millenial and gen x skewed Harris more than any other demographic.
Gen X was the most trump voting generation. Gen X is people born with to 1980. They're between 44 and 59, the demographic that voted most heavily for Trump.
Gen X is way smaller than both the Boomers and Millennials as a population. Even if they skewed heaviest toward DooDoo Donny of the three, I'm not sure their impact would be that important.
They had the highest turnout, CNN's exit poll had them at 35% of voters while boomers, the next highest, were at 29%
Is lead poisoning from all the lead in gas (before they were banned), a valid excuse?
It is likely a contributing factor.
