I don’t know what it is but I hear it at sports stadiums. Duh duh duh duh- duh duh duh-duh It repeats
Edit: I’ve just found out it’s called papas got a brand new pigbag.
A lot of the original versions of the brothers Grimm stories. For example Cinderella, one of the sisters chops off bits of her feet so that she can try and get into the shoe Cinderella dropped. I think the Prince only figured it out because she’s dripping in blood.
America is a very individualist country to my eyes. People see taxes as paying for someone else’s healthcare or homeless shelter rather than paying for the things that everyone needs. There are only 2 sides in the election. Most people can’t ever see themselves switching sides, it’s a big change in thinking for a lot of topics. Hell the vote is usually decided by the turnout rather than people being convinced to switch sides. Trumps followers want him to hurt who they perceive as “their enemy”, i.e. Democrats (and non whites ssshhhh). And in fairness he does and they are happy that he does. They don’t envisage themselves ever in the group that he is attacking so whatever he’s gonna do to them is fine. They do sometimes end up in that group though:

Why wouldn’t they trust him? It’s a bit like that Maya Angelou quote: when people show you who they are believe them first time.
Thing is his supporters believe him because it’s what they want. They trust him. Staunch critics believe him because it’s what they fear, they trust he’ll do terrible things. Those that don’t yet believe him are naive or deluded thinking it’s just as bad to vote for Biden. I don’t understand these people.
