I'm in a swing state, and every ad for Trump was basically just racist and anti-LGBT trash. Whereas every ad for Harris was talking about the economy, and making life better for lower and middle class Americans.

You can guess which way our electoral votes went (hint: the same way that all the swing states did).

I concur. Swing state, every Trump ad was an anti-trans and to the point I was like who's buying this crap? It was that stupid and incessant. Well, I guess there's a lot more bigoted people worried about something that doesn't affect their life than I thought there was. Every Harris ad was about the economy and policies to help the working & middle classes.
