minus-squarestoned_ape@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·2 months agoMy sister in law is a Republican, but doesn’t like Trump, but also buys in to a lot of what he says (her entire personality is “pro-life”) Yesterday, she’s talking to my wife, who is one of those people that keeps her conversations on speaker when she’s in the house: SIL: did you guys ever vote early W: yep, last several elections SIL: I think I’m going to test them and vote on my mail-in, early, and in person on Tuesday Me: you will go to jail for that… They just gobble up whatever they hear in their echo chamber. Nevermind all the Republicans who have gone to jail for voter fraud Also SIL: well the people who died two years ago that vote won’t go to jail W: yes but the people that voted in their place did… I’m just so exhausted trying to understand remotely where they come from
