    It means they aren’t serious people. The Trump administration wrecked up the country with their shitty dangerous response to covid and their conservative base spent the entire time complaining and attacking healthcare workers.

    Serious people propose ways to address problems and work based off of facts. Conservatives are off on witch hunts and high on identity politics.

    This election was a referendum on the neo-liberal order and it lost. Trump represents populist nationalism, if the transactional nature of his first term is any indicator he’s gonna sell off as much as he can to the highest bidders.

    TLDR: A bunch of angry working class folks just handed the country to the billionaire oligarchs, possibly under some delusion the wealthy won’t keep robbing them blind.
