- I am not saying you shouldn’t shame people for their voting choice as a demonstration of lack of critical thought or moral compass. You should.
- I am not saying that all the political parties are equally guilty. I am obviously talking about Trump as the much greater evil of the available evils.
- I am not saying that votes never count or have impact. They sometimes do.
All I really want to say is that blaming your friends and family for the election outcome is misguided and probably serves to benefit the political machine in its current form more than it serves to affect voter choice.
I actually do not think that’s a fair assumption. In my experience conservative voters are significantly less likely to talk about their beliefs and choices
In fact I would argue that across the political spectrum, there’s a loud minority
In my experience, they are quite vocal. Anecdotes are weak
Every vote for Trump normalizes his behavior. It’s as simple as that. A clueless voter see 60 million people voting for him and thinks hey, he must not be so bad!
