      You say ‘ordinary’, but do this ordinary people make up the majority? The popular vote was uncomfortably close in swing states between Trump and Biden, last time.

      Considering we live in a world where ordinary people don’t seem to be demanding a better world for people (we don’t even make sure all children are fed, for example), I don’t have the highest level of trust in ordinary people.

        I didn’t say anything. I quoted the first paragraph from the article you didn’t read.

          Sorry, I read your post as saying that ordinary people doubt the idea that Donald Trump has any positive traits.

          If you doubt that Trump voters are ordinary people, then I wonder how he won the presidency the first time, and came close the second time. Ordinary people don’t seem to have made a particularly great world, after all.

        They make up a minority, which is why higher voter turnout equates to Dems winning snd Republicans keep trying to suppress the vote.
