sad stuff... people voting against their interests
They vote as they do because they're so impressionable. It's also why there's a huge overlap of religious nutjobs and Republicans.
Yup.
But I have zero sympathy for them because this isn't the olden days where someone had to travel to a library or enroll in a university and move away from home to gain access to knowledge. It's all there at their fingertips. They just have to be responsible enough to plug in to reasonable sources. And they aren't. They allow hate and fear to guide their decisions.
It's 2025. There's zero excuses to be ignorant now. So they can suffer and I'll feel nothing for them.
