Decades of defunding education, corporate capture of news and information outlets and an unregulated social media landscape manifests itself right here.

rnretiredf.bsky.social•74 days ago

So uninformed 🙄

bdpatton.bsky.social•74 days ago

The average person in this country, when fooled, will double and even triple down to justify their beliefs.

And they’ll be angrier with the person pointing out they’ve been fooled than the person who fooled them.

To them, it’s worse to admit being a fool than actually being a fool.

jwb2.bsky.social•74 days ago

When you are in a cult you believe anything that your leader says and you don’t see things in a realistic manner. They actually believe he cares about them.

kjthatdog.bsky.social•74 days ago

"He runs the country like a business" always gets me. 😡Now tell me how he runs his businesses

jdny2.bsky.social•74 days ago

Too much of the mainstream media sane washed and failed to inform the public. I don't know what the percentage is, but they are one of the key reasons we're on our way to fascism.

graciepea.bsky.social•74 days ago

Which Trump are they talking about, because this one is not it. 😑

uknow29m.bsky.social•74 days ago

Well they can't exactly say they don't want a Black-Asian Female President. But let's be real, it's all part of the racism and sexism built into the fabric of Western culture. They just look for any other possible reason, and make it up, just to excuse their bias

graciepea.bsky.social•74 days ago

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•72 days ago

Bingo.

mooneyez.bsky.social•74 days ago

We are in the “upside down” for sure. Either that, or the “Twilight Zone”.

evadna.bsky.social•74 days ago

Or. They weren’t paying attention. They were fucking around. Now - they’ll have to pay attention because the “find out” part of the journey has arrived.

pexsy.bsky.social•74 days ago

They get their information from right-wing media echo chambers filled with misinformation and disinformation 🤷‍♂️

Their version of Trump doesn't exist, neither does their version of reality.

westphillyguy.bsky.social•73 days ago

They voted to protect their whiteness

anafirefly.bsky.social•74 days ago

they made him up in their delusional heads 😒 (also, the legacy media enables them fiercely)

worldcitizen1994.bsky.social•72 days ago

Odds are 95% of those voters don't read, listen to or watch *any legitimate mainstream media sources* and therefore have no clue about what's really happening or trump's criminal convictions and deterioration. More than a few of them are, sadly, also morally bankrupt and racist and/or misogynistic.

kathyporterfield.bsky.social•74 days ago

We are so screwed. The lack of any knowledge or fact is astounding.

marycbeach.bsky.social•74 days ago

How could you have watched him for the last decade and come up with “he believes in Christ.” Fantasyland

dmp423.bsky.social•74 days ago

Agreed ~ How could you have watch him EVER and think he believes in Christ?!?!

daveedwardspiano.bsky.social•74 days ago

They get their information from Fox “News” and other right wing media. In other words, they’re hopelessly ignorant.

christophergill.bsky.social•74 days ago

The right has so many news outlets they’ve become mainstream.

owlslife4real.bsky.social•74 days ago

We have partisan politics on both sides of the isle to blame, and mostly legacy media and the men who love them! To a degree we can also blame smartphones. I understand you really weren't asking.....
I ask myself the same question multiple times daily....

sevangelistany.bsky.social•74 days ago

A guy on thanksgiving told me, “He will take us back to the gold standard and take us away from cryptocurrency, which Biden encouraged.”

Alternative facts are killing us, and also Trump is a Rorschach test for low information voters.

islesfanatic.bsky.social•74 days ago

Ignorance is not always bliss.

misterzeno.bsky.social•74 days ago

Good with money is CRAZY 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

dspeaker.bsky.social•74 days ago

It would make for a good article/survey to ask what websites, tv stations, podcasts, and radio stations they get their info from and why they trust/believe them over other media

gawdzchild4eva.bsky.social•74 days ago

They have no idea why they voted for him bc they don't think. They move by emotions and Trump plays to that. Whenever asked why they voted for him it hardly ever *makes sense.*

gawdzchild4eva.bsky.social•74 days ago

Their propaganda 🐰 hole.

markh59.bsky.social•74 days ago

Land of the Stupid.

thatsportschick.bsky.social•74 days ago

The fourth one is literally one of the things the Biden/Harris administration has improved during their term, and one of VP Harris' MAIN campaign points.
Man, you REALLY can't fix stupid. We ARE cooked.

bopstyle.bsky.social•74 days ago

Boy, oh boy, the propaganda machine really worked. I would LOVE for DEM high ups to get this. Use propaganda techniques to get your message heard. These people believed every single word of lying media.

shimbondrn.bsky.social•74 days ago

And now begins The Ballad of the Low Information Voter.

kevvwill.bsky.social•74 days ago

Fox News, Newsmax, various Reddit spaces and the similar.

rickgregory.me•74 days ago

I wish they'd have asked each of those fools where they got their info and how much attention they paid. My bet? They rely on FB and ads and don't pay attention until after the summer.

Short critique? Most people are idiots.

wisherspoon.bsky.social•74 days ago

You know where they get that Bishi from

briantheactorguy.bsky.social•74 days ago

See that’s the problem you have no main stream tv media that is journalistic ? U just have left and right mouth pieces …with so much misinformation out there and no true “news” to watch . No one knows the truth sadly …I’m super worried 😦

licoriceanthrax.bsky.social•74 days ago

He looks like them. Behaves like them. Think like them. The end.

pcb03.bsky.social•74 days ago

Literally non of those things are true. We all need to go back and watch Being There. So prescient

jesseducker.bsky.social•74 days ago

Figures, since they also hate non existent versions of Obama, Biden, and Harris as well.

fzupancle.bsky.social•74 days ago

Fox News, X and Facebook.

tequila0341.bsky.social•74 days ago

various snatches of Fox News, local news, Facebook posts, Tiktok. The fragmentation of the media sphere - with all its pluses and minuses - has led us here.

mistykitty3.bsky.social•74 days ago

Their own X echo chamber.

dats-moy.bsky.social•74 days ago

I honestly think a lot of it is just people who decided they wanted to vote for him, and then worked backwards to try and talk themselves into a ‘why?’ That’s why their narrative bears no resemblance to anything that he plausibly would have said.

my-name-isnt-earl.bsky.social•74 days ago

That tracks, it’s an extremely normal human trick in every other context so why would this be any different

jahre.bsky.social•74 days ago

Yup. People make emotional decisions and then work backwards to justify them.

Trump voters didn’t think any harder about the election than they do about buying a new TV.

waynetheseine.bsky.social•65 days ago

Bright take.

dannyocion.bsky.social•74 days ago

I am always curious whether people consume news passively or actively. Do they watch or listen to right-wing news, or do they only pick up information in passing? Understanding where, as you asked, and how they consume news could provide some interesting insights.

compucrazy.bsky.social•74 days ago

Been yelling this for awhile. These are worthless because people just make up reasons after the fact. They didn't pay attention at all and liked Trump's vibes or whatever more.

youlookstupid.bsky.social•74 days ago

We voted for him because we’re confident he’ll keep men out of women’s sports and restroom, which us normies consider common sense, non-negotiable topics. The wokies legit think men should be able to compete in women’s sports, you can’t make this stuff up!!!!!

btwob.bsky.social•74 days ago

Come on Jemele they know that the grand wizard is a racist scumbag but so are they so it's all good!!

djrhatedr.bsky.social•74 days ago

My suspicion is that other social media site that the electric vehicle dude who bought the election for the orange guy.

tigerlilly64.bsky.social•74 days ago

My IQ went down 30 points just reading through those comments.

bigdickendaddy.bsky.social•74 days ago

They get their information from fox news and social media.

jwalkerbaby1.bsky.social•74 days ago

Colorism!

upatdawnva.bsky.social•74 days ago

These have to be bots. 🤔 There's no way they came to these conclusions using Al Gore's interwebs. These Untied(not a typo) States are ridiculous with thinking you run a country like a business.

mistykitty3.bsky.social•74 days ago

or that "he was good with money." But he had 6 bankruptcies though.

markggarcia.bsky.social•74 days ago

Luckily, these people have such goldfish brains so they might change their minds. Problem is, a lot of people will suffer and maybe die as their outlook changes. For the ones who are huffing their own fumes, it may have to wait until their own kids die or something drastic like that.

earl-g.bsky.social•74 days ago

The rise of social media has engaged a larger population in political discourse. This has not worked in our country’s favor.

Also, this here is why conservatives prefer the electorate to be uneducated.

itslv29.bsky.social•74 days ago

That’s why the whole “dems need better messaging” is bullshit. These people wanted to believe all the lies they were told. There was nothing that could be done to get them to change their minds. They wanted the memes to be true so they voted against their own interests

tnps47.bsky.social•74 days ago

“Mainstream” local newscast

mistykitty3.bsky.social•74 days ago

No. Fox & their X echo chamber.

revmelanienola.bsky.social•74 days ago

If those were in-person interviews I don’t see how the interviewer didn’t lose their shit.

ronniefromchatt.bsky.social•73 days ago

Never underestimate the strength of the right-wing echo chamber. I don’t want to think of ALL his followers as dimwits, but if it looks and quacks like a duck……🤷🏾‍♂️. It boggles my mind!

chibone.bsky.social•74 days ago

They actually think Trump is going to do those things?

beigemensa.bsky.social•74 days ago

We live in the era of mis- and disinformation. A well orchestrated plan of cyber-espionage conducted by certain countries to disrupt American democracy. Basically, they whipped up the low IQ kooks into a frenzy. They beat America without even firing a bullet.

virtualham.bsky.social•74 days ago

Imagine dismissing all his crimes, racism, threats, etc. as brash.

abeewon.bsky.social•74 days ago

i hate to over use a phrase but “ we’re cooked”

I want Trump to do everything he promised, and I want them to suffer.

The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine is powerful and suffocating

catgrimm.bsky.social•74 days ago

low information voters=wrong information voters that cling to some fantasy the media they consume has sold them. Poor unfortunate souls!

cooyah.bsky.social•74 days ago

They were thinking of the other candidate. The one that could form a coherent sentence.

waynetheseine.bsky.social•65 days ago

The second one is the kicker.....right out of the gate he laid his intellectual license out there, "was" in the military, "was" a cop. WTF.....and, like Trump because "He believes in Chirst" ...what a fucking genius.

shatshow.bsky.social•74 days ago

The Seneca comment “he’s really good with money” that’s why he filed for bankruptcy multiple times. Can’t convince someone mentally living in an alternate universe.

carmen714.bsky.social•74 days ago

They do exist though I'm in Fresno and I passed by one of the crappiest houses on the way to my grocery store and they had a trump flag hanging on the side of their house honestly I think it was to stop the rain from coming in
