    A concerningly large percentage of US voters seem to only be able to think about last week, this week, and next week.

    That’s the extent of their ability to think and plan

      An entire week in both directions is a stretch. Many seem to have reduced that to a day or even less. If it isn’t happening to them right now, they don’t know about it.
