Because the GOP is a cult not an actual political party.

Most of the base don't have the minimum brain cells to understand politics or the economy or frankly how magnets work...

They literally just parrot what they see on Fox News and see in their right wing Facebook groups.

I know this is borderline snobby but hearing some of them try to talk about the potential wine/champagne tariffs was painful. They just don’t know how anything works and they’re proud

We've entered a new era.

Rather than being uninformed, people are misinformed and that's often worse.

People that are uninformed are often willing to to inform themselves in order to make a proper decisions.

Those who are already misinformed are likely going to stick to their guns because of sunken cost and all of that.

We have soooo many idiots running around thinking they're really smart because they saw a few youtube or IG videos on a topic.

It's quite crazy.

I think a big part of the problem is the "greatest country" mentality. Every good country's citizens are aware of its biggest problems instead of just saying "YeAh bUt fReEdOm".

“All that greatness, and they dont know what to do with it”, someone once said.
