Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ team had knocked on 947,000 doors across Iowa while the candidate had visited all 99 counties. It turns out Iowans just weren’t into him.
It’s more a signal of Iowans’ stupidity. I mean some people refused even to watch football teams associated with alleged rapists yet they vote for this overstuffed troglodyte Trumplodyte?
I wouldn’t classify all people in Iowa as stupid. But I have been to Iowa and they love Trump there. Many old white America’s, those that are the vast majority of voters in primary elections, love Trump. Trump represents the status quo, he doesn’t want change and he speaks out against those that do. Many of the things the Democrats want to change won’t help those in rural Iowa so they don’t support it.
Republicans represent the status quo. Not trump. Trump simply doesn’t have the intelligence to filter his speech. Much like the average Republican voter. That’s why they identify with him so much. He truly is as stupid as they are. He’s at best chaotic evil. Whereas the Republican party is neutral evil. Republicans pursue evil loosely under the guise of law and order. Trump squeals about law and order while pursuing pettiness and vengeance. Enabled by feckless Republicans.
Here are just a few reasons why voting for Trump is stupid for Iowans or any breathing human.
Lying: Trump has made more than 10,100 false or misleading statements since his inauguration on everything from crowd size to how tariffs work. This has normalized lying to the point where it is no longer shocking.
Corruption: Trump, his family, and aides have used the presidency to enrich themselves. For example, taxpayers subsidize Trump when he stays at his properties, and foreign officials try to curry favor by spending money at Trump’s properties. Trump has sued to stop German bank Deutsche Bank from providing his financial records to two House committees. Deutsche Bank, which has faced scandals over past dealings with Russians, made large loans to Trump when other banks wouldn’t. If Trump has nothing to hide, why fight? Similarly, why is he fighting the release of his federal tax returns?
Conman: Trump sold himself as an astute businessman, convincing many voters he would bring prosperity to the little guy. However, between 1985 and 1994, Trump’s businesses showed losses of nearly $1.2 billion. They paid no taxes in eight of those years 1. Meanwhile, Trump’s tax cuts have helped corporate giants, but the little guy not so much. His tariff battle with China has hurt farmers and threatens to increase the prices of many consumer goods sold in the U.S.
Bigotry: Trump regularly insults critics and has slurred blacks, Mexicans, Muslims, and immigrants. He has called white supremacists “very fine people.” His policy that separated hundreds of immigrant children from their parents is inhumane.
Climate Change Denial: Trump has denied climate change as a scientific fact, ignoring government scientists who warn of serious consequences to the world unless we substantially curtail burning fossil fuels. Instead, Trump’s policies favor fossil fuels and help exacerbate global warming.
Dictatorship: Trump coddles strongmen and has taken the word of Russian President Vladimir Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies.
