Haley Robson, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, voted for President Donald Trump in the past but is now calling for him to be impeached over the handling of the Epstein files.
The problem is that they believe what they want to believe, not what he actually says or does. It’s like a game of telephone where nobody actually fact checks each other. One person sees a speech by Trump that says he’s going to solve affordability by defunding stuff that he doesn’t care for or doesn’t benefit from. He tells his friends and coworkers that Trump is going to solve affordability but barely mentions how. Those friends are also conservative so they don’t ask for more details they just say “hell yeah, about time” and then move onto the next topic without elaborating. Next those people tell their friends the same thing and if they get asked how they just say “I don’t know, it’s just what x was saying.”
Fast forward a few months and it’s election day now everyone associated with that person, some of who don’t spend a lot of time on the internet so they aren’t really up to date on current events, have this vague idea that Trump will solve their problems. They’re too busy with their own lives and never get a good opportunity to do look things up or actually research what candidates are doing what, but they heard Trump had some good ideas and they’ve voted for Republicans before, so why not?
This is the reason why republicans and Trump love the poorly educated and love making life expensive. It makes people so caught up in their own bullshit and so uninformed that they make poor decisions because they either don’t have the time or don’t understand what’s going on.
that was my bro when asking about trump, he dint care to search further/research other than what he heard on social media. when confronted about trump, elon, or YE WEST he believes whats on the news is not what he saw on social media, or whatever someone else told him. thats how they think. and hes in tech too, but im seeing alot of upper middle class tech people as conservatives, especially amongst asians/pocs.

I know during election time the political machines go hardcore about getting people out to vote, but i’ve always argued that a person really shouldn’t vote if they can’t take the time to research and dig into the candidates they are voting for… I used to also get dismissed for saying as much but then televisions Mike Rowe (formerly of Dirty Jobs) echoed the same sentiments and I saw the political crowds do a a 180. -Oh, well. I’m not bitter.
sad how mike rowe turned into nutty trumper being used by fox pundits like watters. the first istance of that guy cracking was after trumps 1st election" he said in an interview how its not that bad"
Mike Rowe is directly funded by the Koch brothers, he’s genuinely a paid right-wing propagandist spreading anti-union propaganda, and the idea that hard work and ignoring or removing OSHA safety regulations is a path to the American Dream.
Genuinely: how do you do those mental gymnastics. That’s fucking wild.

I have never been able to quantify it like this. Thank you
conservatives are experts at reality distortion.
