The ignorance in America is too vast to describe without sounding like hyperbole.

Said something about Trump's dementia to a good friend last week, "Yeah, but Biden was pretty bad too wasn't he?"

There are exactly two people on my street that understand current events, both old black folks. My young black friend (above) and the white people of all ages are clueless. My Asian wife only knows about Trump through me and her friends and family back home who now hate him over gas prices. (See chart)

There's a monster chunk of our population that votes on vibes and how their personal life is going. Trump's 30% approval? That's not MAGA, that's the politically disconnected.

    No, the “vote by their feelings” people left long ago. These are the hardcore mother fuckers left supporting Republicans and MAGA.

    These are the low IQ, racists, the facists, authoritarians. Some just simply won’t vote for any other party besides Republicans.

    These are the people who would have still supported Hitler in the hours before he put his gun in his mouth.

    These people won’t stop even when Trump is gone. They will deny, rebrand and come back again supporting the same shitty agenda.

    The suburbanites are sleep walking through most of this administration. You can only jolt them awake by suggesting trans folks deserve equal rights. I think most of them are racists hiding behind their religion.

    We shall see I guess.
