Last I checked, most people who voted for trump voted for him because they actually thought he would fix the economy. Only a fringe cares about identity politics.
While I personally believe people who voted for trump were naive at best, it is very disingenuous to pretend like they all voted for him because they hate trans people. Most normal people don't give a fuck about that shit. They just want to live and considering how chaotic the election was for the democrats, it makes sense that more people put their trust in the candidate who was there from the start.
It's a very boring answer, and it is not really an excuse for the current state of the US, but reality is often a lot duller than whatever narrative we like to cook up in our little heads after spending too much time on Twitter.

I get the sentiment, but horrible economic prospects had a lot more to do with this than different people seeking common decency when you get down to it.
I honestly do not think that it did.
That might be what people will tell you (and themselves in some cases), but I don't buy it.
To add to this, the economy is not better for the average person currently, anyone who thought it would be is naive and I just have trouble believing that American's on average are that gullible.

We all know the economy is bad. But they choose to believe it is caused by trans people and immigrants. So OOP still correct.
Which doesn't make sense either because historically all economic indicators have been better on average during democrat governments than republican ones
