It's not a virus.
The left/liberal don't listen to people's grievances, and they don't offer them solutions. Trump does.
It doesn't matter if it's all lies and hate, it's simple better than the nothingburger that liberal/leftists are offering people.
Claiming Tariffs and exporting people will fix the economy is better than patronizing voters that the economy is just fine and they need to shut up. Which is what Harris and many liberals are doing.
And yet so many people on the left/liberal are totally blind to the total failure of this. They are totally deluded that their 'values' are self-justifying to the general population, and that if the population doesn't agree, they are wrong. That isn't how politics works. You can't shame your voters into voting for you, you have to give them policies to vote for.
