    Sure. Judge them for attending a Trump rally. But don’t call them trash people.

      People like the ones you’re responding to struggle to fully comprehend that they’re literally attempting to characterize half the country.

      A different thread wants to put them all into a “magat map.” Putting aside the dubious idea that mapping the locations of a group of people they’re referring to as literal vermin isn’t gross to begin with, you would be mapping the location of half the population of the United States.

      Harris is losing momentum according to polls and Trump is slowly but steadily rising. It’s on average every other person you meet. Disparaging them does nothing except fuel the the charges of elitism, as you note.

          Polling is done variously and by various pollsters on: the general public, likely voters, and registered voters. Trump is about as popular across all three categories.
