Donald Trump’s supporters thought voter fraud could determine the election outcome — until he won.
American voters aren’t exactly the smartest, are they?
Sorry, can’t not laugh at the Freudian slip here.
But yeah, low-information and/or single-issue voters are a scourge.
The new American way would be to double down on the mistake and deride ptz for not being up to speed on this latest usage of ‘are’…
And which party was the one cutting education spending decades ago? They’re reaping their rewards now.
My in-laws are staying with us this week. Fortunately they both are reasonable and voted Kamala but I have heard nothing but Medicare advantage commercials every 5 minutes as they watch live tv (something we never do).
Medicare advantage is a huge scam that takes all your Medicare money and gives it to private insurance companies. It is shocking that we allow people to be bombarded with this day in and day out. It doesn’t surprise me this same group was bombarded with lies from the right for the past year. Lies that don’t match reality. And as those lies come to light, they will feel duped. But either it will be too late or they are too stubborn to admit it.
Yeah, some people are more vulnerable than others, and this is especially true if they are on social media.
I noticed that nearly everyone (perhaps all) in my circle who fell for MAGA were or still are in some kind of MLM.
Online, for example on Reddit looking at users who believe that you see that large portions of them are into crypto.
Trump voters right now:
Non-Trump votes feel very different now that he’s won.
I’m a lot less trusting of people. I thought I distrusted people before, but JFC, I had no idea how much lower that bar could go!
oh, we’re not at the lowest yet unfortunately.
Wait until trump’s admin actually starts up and all those people start supporting concentration camps for the migrants, LGBTQ+ members, and “political dissidents”. Wait until a democratic/progressive congressperson gets assassinated and watch how they will give zero fucks about it and support doing more of that. Wait until they start actually getting hyper-violent in the streets, shooting people they think are the “enemy”, and getting away with it scott free.
We have so much further to fall over the next 4 years. And all those people you distrust now, will be on the frontlines defending every one of those actions.
My apathy for anyone outside of my nuclear family is significantly higher than it was a few weeks ago. I’m just stocking up on masks, purell, and stuff for the coming year+ when a bird flu kills the yuckyucks and I can’t buy tuna anymore because captain brain worms and the orange don’t believe in science and will actively punish anyone who does for trying to get medicine. They saw their own covid response and went “hmm we did too much. Let’s take more away” it’s just mind boggling.
Is this like Kevin in the first Home Alone thinking he’s not really alone and just doing “bad” stuff and announcing it? Did they think their parents were going to come in and stop them and are surprised now?
