  • While acknowledging that Trump voters are emotional and fear-prone, they’re not entirely stupid and generally not cultists, probably, maybe. Can we have some sliver of hope? The ones I know are certainly not stupid but are tragically misinformed and savants of confirmation bias. I’ve also noticed that they care a great deal. It seems more like a target misalignment problem than a broken turret.



  • Theory: this is late-stage capitalism, where the working class are so exploited and overworked that they don’t know who to be angry at. Someone like Trump comes along and (falsely) mirrors their anger and they unwittingly roll out the red carpet for a fascist. I’m really hopeful that once they see what they actually voted for, they’ll not be so welcoming. Trump 1.0 was absolutely nothing compared to what Trump 2.0 is going to be. There are way more puppeteers who are way more prepared this time. Shit’s going down and their constituents are not the ones to piss off. Just feasting on popcorn here.
