I also think it's important to remember that, although spite and hate were powerful forces in this election the most powerful forces were the apathy, confusing, alienation, anger and helplessness that lead a near plurality to not vote at all. To look at the political circus and decide it wasn't relevant, or worth their time, or to be so harried and exhausted by surviving they had no time to look at all.

I don't think they really see or know the people who will hurt most. It's not the sort of people who get talked about very much who will be hurt most. People that hardly anyone centers, regardless of politics.
There is some irony some are among MAGA themselves, but I don't find that amusing at all.
Paul Cantrell repeated this.
