lmao RANDOM.
i work in retail in a rural area. zero of the people i interact with follow political trends. their lives are small and tight (not derogatory), influenced by the people and things that go on in their immediate environment, which now includes gas at nearly $5/gal
I'll admit, part of why I'm so skeptical of the emerging realignment thesis of this election is that it just seems so *random* that it would happen NOW, after ten years of Trump being a remarkably consistent public figure and ten years of remarkably consistent political trends.
