It's sadly so much more complicated. I know so many good people who are just being lied to, brainwashed, and have absolutely no idea what is real and what isn't. They basically eat up anything that claims to fix something they're heavily emotionally invested in, and Republicans prey on that.

I don't know what sample data of life you have, but I know mine, and it's diverse. Born and raised on wick / welfare, self-taught programmer in game dev, VT, ID, WA, rich, poor, drug dealers, etc.
They're either utterly stupid or complicit.
Brainwashed or not, they made the choice and willingly ignored all data and evidence.
