I’m with you. We all knew this would happen because were all politically engaged and moderately informed. Your average person isn’t. And the media does this on purpose. And yes it is definitely cathartic to point laugh and ridicule them for their obvious ignorance. I wish we could figure out a way to break through that ignorance. We’d be doing ourselves a lot more good than catharsis.

Same. It’s been this slow walk into 2025, listening to people in man on the street interview and seeing polls on sentiments and so on, and now this.
It hasn’t even been two weeks and you see videos of the average donvict supporter doing videos (like that one mother that went viral about her benefits being cut off) about how they cannot believe they voted for this (but they did, they just weren’t paying any attention to what the Republicans are really about).

I also cannot help but wonder - even if this country survives the next four years under these monsters - will any of the voters that voted for donvict, or stayed home/protest voted because “bothsides” - will any of them learn any lessons and never vote for a Republican, ever? And make sure they vote for Democrats?

I would expect someone like this to be politically informed. I think it’s fair to say to this person “Stop being stupid”.
Yes that’s probably fair. They would have to be willfully ignorant at that point I would think.
