      You’d be surprised at just how little the average voter knows about politics. There’s a reason a lot of people wish politics would go back to being boring and not something everyone talked about.

        Plenty of them are informed, and DGAF.

        Tribalism and decades right wing propaganda mean that they’ll vote for anyone on the GOP ticket, even when they are clearly terrible and debatably conservative.

        I was so naive so as to think there was no way we’d elect Trump.

        Now I just assume we’ll do the dumbest thing on offer.

      Trump got too many votes in 2016, and even more than that in 2020, and you’re surprised at how uninformed American voters are?

      Our press is too busy with far more important issues than Trump’s advisors plotting a fascist takeover of the country. You know, like Biden being old.
