Almost posted this to /c/slop for the 
but these '20 biden to '24 trump voters really are just lost souls that maybe deserve some :gasp: empathy and outreach
Katrina, a 53-year-old independent voter, said it was hard to put into words why she's so anxious, but she knows she is.
"I feel anxious that nothing has really changed," she said. "I mean, Trump talks about this 'Big, Beautiful Bill,' but, it's like, I don't see any difference. In my life, I don't."
Like yes this is leopards ate my face content, but on the other hand:
Melody, a 37-year-old independent, added: "I wouldn't immediately think bad of someone. I would want to talk a little bit more about it with them because … to me, they're at least trying to think of a solution where everybody has rights and everybody has food, everybody has a house, everybody has a job. They're at least looking for something like that for everyone."
Marianne, a 57-year-old independent voter, said she thinks traditional Democrats are "more centrist" and cater to more corporate interests.
"But they also care about the people as well, the working people," she said. "Whereas socialist Democrats are more about community."
Yes, that is true with my chuddy coworkers, but I'd rather engage with them any day of the week compared to the smug liberals who think they're right and ignore any evidence presented to them.
What kind of chuddy coworkers you got? All the ones I've had are just as smug while ignoring evidence on twice as many things. I'd kill to have a lib coworker who's at least halfway in reality (and doesn't harbor the same level of prejudice)
The other day I told my boomer "apolitical" coworker I'm minoring in environmental science, and he immediately starts ranting about how the climate's always changed, species have always gone extinct, etc.. I politely explain how the data shows human activity's significantly amplified temperature variations and extinction events, and he tells me I'm a brainwashed college kid who doesn't know what I'm talking about, and how "gen z thinks you know everything while having no life experience." Mind you, this guy claims to have a "genius level IQ"
Mainly gen x sovereign citizen types
