This is an illustration of why I don't buy the argument that every person who voted for Trump is an irredeemable villain.
The median voter is an uneducated idiot. Maybe I am being too legalistic here but I have certain intent requirements before deriding someone and the average voter does not meet that requirement because his beliefs are incoherent and based in ignorance.
Cue the Churchill quote about democracy.

- They aren’t “irredeemable;” they can redeem themselves by acknowledging their mistake, admitting they were wrong and voting against Trumpkins going forward
- A sizable minority of evangelicals actually still believes in Jesus of the gospels. Some who held their noses and voted for Trump in 2024 have now been fully alienated…
- This is why I think we need a recession. Drooling morons need to feel the shitty economy so they make a Pavlovian connection between Trumpism and economic pain.
- lots of people are literally unintelligent
- irredeemable idiots. *
- They're not. They're just not very well-informed, are first order thinkers, and vote on vibes. A lot of what they think is true, isn't.
