    There are a ton of people out there who have absolutely no clue what is currently going on in the government. I mean, 40% can’t read above an elementary school level.

      Search trends asking if Biden dropped out or why he wasn’t candidate skyrocketed right around voting day.

      theres also people that purposely avoid political news, and dont even to search it out, because they dont want to argue with people about it, additionally theres also people distracted by other things on youtube, social media following influencers. and then theres the people who “how does this affect me now, or just scoffs as a normal event that will pass”.

      its these disconnect which have been hammered succesfully by right wing propaganda works in conservative favor.
