*of voters
The rest apparently don't care either way
They're not to blame. They've been convinced by a powerful, wealthy propaganda machine that their identity is more important than their planet, their children's futures, or their own basic human rights. They were scared, tired, desperate, and when the machine came for them and it felt so good they bought it without checking the receipt. They've been tricked into giving away their futures and they are going to suffer for it. They're stupid, but they're not evil.
No. It is YOUR fault if YOU fall for propaganda. Its time to hold people accountable for their stupidity
Sounds close-minded, selfish and hateful. You'd be a great Trump supporter.
That's bs, it just takes 1 hour of your day to go put a mark on a piece of paper and be done with it...
Pure laziness and complacency
.. The voters? We're talking about the people who cast votes. Not the ones who didn't vote. Keep up.
The comment above yours was referring to the rest of people who could vote but didn't, and I thought you said they were not to blame.
Anyways it just means most of the US is ok with trump, which is absolutely insane.
Your logic completely nullifies human capacity for agency and thus makes no sense whatsoever. Conditioning is important but it does not negate responsibility. Not yet anyway...
If my argument nullified the capacity for agency then propaganda could not exist.
I am saying that propaganda was used to make people vote for Trump. Without that propaganda, they may have voted in their own interests, like protecting bodily autonomy and basic human rights.
Propaganda is the thing that swayed them.
Some people are defenseless to it. They never stood a chance against the billion-dollar machine built specifically to win their vote. I feel sorry for them because they were tricked into giving away their futures.
Some of them, yes. I have family that fit your description, but I also have family filled with anger and spite. The ones who hold hate I can and will blame for it.
