it would seem about 60-70% of americans never have any idea what's really going on around here. you run into enough people who say shit like "i voted for trump but i'm going to vote against project 2025" that it's just astounding. so now probably 10-20% of us are gearing up for a fight for survival while 25-35% of the populace have been geared up to be the modern day brownshirts carrying out the oncoming genocide. the remaining 45-65% are just rolling along like this is all perfectly acceptable normal politics. they're acting like this is just the cost of doing business and it's not their place to do or say anything.
they're who's really responsible in all this. fuckers.
One comment I remember from right before the election was a person saying how their cashier said “well, anybody but Biden right?” and they were like “Biden…Biden isn’t running.”
I don’t get it. I do not understand how people could be so blind to politics that they wouldn’t even know who’s running, but then I talk to real people and it’s like “oh.”
i just want to knows what these people do all day
Right? To not get any news, even by accident, is wild. I know I’m in a position that sees it more, and it does rake some setup(an app or two with notifications does a lot of the heavy lifting) but I mean come on.
Ive met a couple folks who can do this, they just listen to music they have on their phone or whatever and do hobbies that dlnt require outside interaction. They are pretty much completely insular information wise and are usually a step behind for all news, they are also extremely vulnerable to right wing nonsense since they dont interact with any outside information on the regular.
Menial jobs, TV, drugs. Hence the opioid epidemic.
