There are plenty of examples of people who wanted to vote conservative but "didn't have time to do the research" and now they're about to be caught up in the billionaire looting of the government. Low information voters, people busy with their jobs, lots of ads and propaganda.. and voila.
That said, both the Dems and the GOP are there doing the bidding of lobbyists and the wealthy... if we had an actual populist party in the US we wouldn't have ended up here. At least, not so quickly.
i hear you but people are going to vote anyway as surely as they drink and drive. many voters vote on “vibes”.
we need an actual populist party that gives people more to vote for. As it is, both parties support the “elites” and that leads to a disillusionment with democracy and a slide towards fascism.
> I mean, if you re-elect the guy that tried to forcibly stay in power last time, I'm not sure what else to say...
You're arguing what you think would happen if Trump was elected.
OP is saying something different. He's saying the among the people who voted for Trump, some believed something else would happen and they might feel defrauded.
We've seen a lot more corporate supplication to the admin this go around. Some are saying the moderation and media coverage is a little too sparse on criticism like we see in these town halls and protests.
