Edgy. It must feel satisfying. Been a pleasure chatting but I have work to do. Tata.

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.

.. The voters? We're talking about the people who cast votes. Not the ones who didn't vote. Keep up.

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.

Excellent and thoughtful response

No living thing has a feature "to" do anything. That implies decision making, which is intelligent design.

Tigers have spots on their ears, which can confuse attackers.

Tigers did not develop those spots "to" confuse attackers.

The first time I used VI I typed a few characters, then hit backspace to delete some characters. Backspace doesn't delete characters. I closed VI and never opened it again.

My most satisfying sexual experience was with a small dude

I begged him for a second date. I think he was self-conscious about it. Dude was marriage material
