They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.
It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.
It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.
Right, the single issue voters that picked a color (likely due to family) and kept to it the rest of their lives
Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.
The amount of people who are horrified now that they've had tariffs explained to them is.. depressingly high.
They didn't wanna look up what a tarrif was before voting for Mr. Tariffs?
They just thought that was the magic word he was going to use to set gasoline prices back to what they were in 2016!
I almost wish for gas prices to be as high as they are in other developed countries... That and the tariffs would be a huge wake up. Unfortunately it would be blamed on Biden even 3 years down the road... It's a no win situation.
This may sound controversial and no I don't have a way to implement it, but we should probably have a means to screen the knowledge of voters over the things they're voting on before they can access a ballot box.
I've been thinking about this lately. Is this the moment when we realize a democracy isn't all it's cracked up to be?
Consider that the MAGAs would be in charge of administering and scoring such a test and you'll immediately see why that's a bad idea.
And how about the politicians?
