…on the one hand, think of what this means. These voters aren’t trying to burn the country. They don’t want to see people suffer. They’ve been told their lives suck, and this is the answer to fix it. They’re so far removed from reality that they believe in racist teachings. They believe in a prison system designed to eat up as much of the general population as possible. They’ve been normalized to think of the whole country as us vs them. They routinely watch a news network which has openly admitted in court that they are not a news network. All of this leads to a section of society where these people clutch and grasp at anyone willing to help them, and make life better. It’s not an issue of morality. It’s an issue of choice. They thought they were making the right choice, as they were being led down a path of conmen, crooks, theives, liars, rapists, and pedophiles.
All of that is on the one hand.
On the OTHER hand…you dumb as hell, boy! Damn you dumb! How you get so dumb?

This reminded me. Trumpy dude I know at work, not a dumb guy, but poorly educated, WAS NOT AWARE that private prisons existed and when notified of that fact THOUGHT THAT THEY SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. The guy he voted for 3 times has so many ties to private prison companies it’s absurd, and this dude didn’t even know they existed.
Except that they do want to see people suffer. It’s just that now they’re the ones suffering. That’s the only common thread that keeps them voting for hurting people and being upset when it’s them that’s hurt. Same shit as always.
If they could learn from their mistakes it would be nice. But now that they’ve turned on Trump they’re ready for the next grifter to absorb their support.

Absolutely, mind-blowingly, galaxy-brained moment.
