  • I was listening to a radio show (CBC) who had an expert on voting demographics. He was saying that a fairly sizeable portion of Trump’s base were irregular voters. That is to say, they only turn out if they feel strongly enough about something, and the promise they believed was that he would fight corruption.

    They also have a core belief that the gov’t is run by a cabal of pedophiles, and that Trump would fix that. Backing down on the Epstein files is a huge slap in the face to them.

    So while you’re absolutely right that these people would probably never cross the aisle and vote democrat, as you say, what they’re more likely to do is just not vote.









  • For being so left leaning, it’s disappointing that Lemmy is this wishwashy on veg*nism. They’ll “support” your decision to practice it yourself, but suggesting that their actions aren’t victimless will still get you a lot of hate here.

    The phantasms of carnism still run deep, I guess. Being forced to confront ideas that make people reassess who they are is always a challenging process.
