    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?

    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.

        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.
