the sizable mass of extremely low information voters

If this was the 1920s you'd have a point. Hell, the 1950s, 60's even.

It's 2024. There's a huge mass of information in every square inch of the world now. There's no excuse for being so goddamned stupid.

"Out here, you pay $5 for a dozen eggs. It used to be $1, or even 99 cents," Mr Negron added. "A lot of us have woken up, in my opinion, from Democratic lies that things have been better. We realised things were better then."

Listen to that fucking garbage. "Democratic lies" "We realised things were better then". That's right wing media copypasta if there ever was any.

Absolute fucking shitheaded moron fuck who's screwed us all to ingratiate himself with nazis.

I fish a lot. I fish with blue collar types and run in circles with fishing guides. I know a fishing guide who spends 8-12 hours per day on the water, something like 200 days per year with clients and many others just scouting so he can put clients on more fish. He has a part time retail job for the days he's not fishing. He doesn't doom scroll all day, and probably only gets a few minutes to scroll Instagram or Twitter in the evening before he goes to sleep because he's up before sunrise driving to spots and loading his raft/gear into the water and pulling everything out to wash it in the evening. Sometimes he drives over an hour to fish, sometimes he stays overnight in certain areas. He doesn't really read the news, he only interacts with a handful of other fishing guides and fishermen, he works two jobs, and that's it.

I also fish with another guy in construction management. He's on site most days, probably doom scrolls a little bit. He's a relatively smart guy, savvy on niche musical genres and other really weird technical topics, but not educated at all and never graduated college. He's kinda engaged but not really, and he does pretty well to filter all the political stuff out so he can focus on things that he's interested in.

Harris proposed absolutely nothing for either of them. No tax proposals that would help them, no improvements to their health insurance (though both are probably through the ACA), no job/industry prospects, no financial assurances, just....nothing. All they heard were abortion, democracy, and "not Trump." Neither of them even like Trump, and they find MAGA cringey AF, but they both said almost exactly the same thing to me at some point over the past few months:

"I mean, I'm fucked either way, so it really doesn't matter."

And you know what? They're absolutely right. They are. Trump's the only one who even tries to speak to their concerns, and for many people that's enough.

We gotta figure out how to capture the moron vote to win? This all just makes me want to quit. Those idiots are going to get what they deserve.

Given that the people won't accept the necessary complex solutions to complex problems due to the intential destruction of our publoc education system both to keep them ignorant and controllable and to not pay for them, and want simple answers that don't exist without deception, all there is is subsistence until collapse, and start over after all that pain without the artificial restrictions held up by both parties to keep the wealthy wealthy and the poor poor.

This place is nothing but a slavery trap, keeping people ignorant by design and dependent on the scraps of the capitalists. I hope climate change forces the collapse and this slavery trap doesn't limp along for more generations born to suffer needlessly for the masters.
