I’m skeptical. Too many are wrapped up in the money. They aren’t getting lavish gifts, paid trips, and cushy jobs after their stints in power by having grassroots campaigns or working for the people.
I do love that some of the "refugees" (lol) are just moving to an even more Chinese app though. I don’t think it’s all that many but the propaganda pointing toward propaganda is hilarious.
I think, in general, it was more apathy. I know too many people with the kind of narrow world view that makes them not see the difference between the two parties. All they see the slow slide into a capitalist dystopia and they just check out. 7 million less votes can’t be pinned on one issue. It was a hundred issues that haven’t changed in forty years.
And honestly, that’s the brilliance of the GOP's insanity. They’ve driven down engagement. Then everything about the Post-Truth Era has reinforced that. This is especially true of the positive aspects of Biden's administration.
The US has a long-standing policy to commit genocide. Singling out one specific monster shifts blame away from the monsters still in a position to continue and worsen the genocide. The president needs a whole bunch of people to sign off on it and they overwhelmingly did so.
This is exactly the kind of article you’d expect them to write after promoting brexit. They are following the ABCs of shite journalism, “Always Be Grifting."
"Here’s how it works."
That’s the neat part. It doesn’t. Purely performative.
