    a plurality did vote for this after he was convicted of crimes and they saw what he did in the first go around.

    A lot of the exit polling suggested that most Trump voters who switched from supporting Obama and Sanders, really had no idea what was going on with Trump, his family, their legal accusations and literally everything else we all know.

    They did not actually remember anything about the first round, because so very much of the USA is vast, vast swaths of millions of people working 7 days a week to afford having children in a suburban people-hatchery, and we have a capital system that has been given full, unrestricted access to our brains, eroding our attention-spans and desire to feel engaged with anything for more than 20 seconds.

    This is what we’re fighting, not just an angry mass of armed racist goblins, but a vast pandemic of apathy and boredom with literally everything. A banal army of shrugging masses who do not make critical judgements, because what has critical thought done for us? What does anything matter? Just look at what’s in front of you and cast your vote based on how you feel at the moment. This is the prevailing attitude, whether explicit or buried under layers of rationalization.
