This comic is painfully accurate. Read the exit polling from 2024, millions of Trump voters were Obama voters and Bernie supporters.
Our problem is not voter turnout, we had the highest turnout in US history in the last several federal elections. The problem is people are not thinking, they’ve been dulled and pulled in too many directions by too many propaganda campaigns each spinning the wildest takes on both sides of every issue until the average median voter who gets their news from facebook after working 6 days a week just rolls their eyes and moves on.
People vote on their comfort levels. People voted for Trump in mass numbers strictly about the price of eggs at the time, and they associated Biden with that egg cost, and Harris was “just more Biden.” (I mean, they weren’t wrong, but fuck.)
But the fact that they knew NOTHING about what Trump was going to do, screams volumes about how informed our population is. And it’s not a matter of giving them tools to learn, they have ALL the tools. People aren’t interested in being informed. Everyone is burnt-out, anti-social, isolated and depressed. We avoid each other because we only read the worst stories about each other so our communities dissolved and people just live in social isolation, no pressure to learn more and be more involved.
