    I wouldn’t say all of that 30% thought that. There is a lot of purposeful and tactical decisions made by the GOP to prevent democratic votes. States where mail in and early voting are not allowed is an example, another is the polling places that do not allow you to give water to the people waiting in line. Then theres the ad campaigns that targeted black people saying of they voted they were going to be jailed by the IRS for some vague tax fraud reason. Some people are terrorized out of being able to vote.

    Thats not to discount that there are definitely stupid privileged fucks who simply chose not to vote and let Trump happen.

    I completely agree with what you’re saying here as someone in the US. To add onto it, a large majority of the problem is due to the complete lack of quality public education, and the option for private schooling / home schooling mostly revolving around Christo-Fascist propaganda and not actual facts. As someone who experienced the public school system, I had no idea MLK JR was a socialist. We were only told about the amazing effects of peaceful protests. The media we consume reenforces individualism, and not community. I’ve been trying to make an effort in my own life to try and be more involved with the community around me, and to participate in local politics, volunteer work, and helping your neighbors. I’m hoping there are others like me who are doing the same, and with any luck, the culture you’re describing will see a slow, painful death as people start realizing the harmfulness of this way of living.
