over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.
It’s similar numbers for determined trump supporters. 30-40% of people just seem to enjoy the idea of living under a punishing overload. Maybe it makes them feel safe, or they think of themselves as superior so presume they’ll end up on top. Probably a lot of other drivers as well - poverty and uncertainty seem to play a role.
I tend to think of this more as a flaw we possess as an organism, something we need social institutions to counteract, rather than as the personal failing of one in every two or three people.
Not appropriate enough.
Unironically over 30% of people somehow still voted conservative.
I’m ashamed to admit a very large amount of them are from my area.
I don’t know what is wrong with some people. The education system has clearly desperately failed many of the people here though.
I always get nervous when people call other people stupid because they don’t act like them.
Sorry. Naive and easily fooled by propaganda and disinformation that feeds into their bigotry
My bad ❤️

Yup. It’s always about a third of people. It never seems to vary. And often they gain power because the country’s electoral system sucks.
