I sadly suspect that this is the type of voter who will continue to blame anyone and everyone else for the problems they triggered themselves.

Cognitive dissonance has well and truly set in.

I think fundamentally this is the underlying issue with the current situation in the USA. I’m not sure what fixing it looks like.

This isn’t something that started in November last year, it’s been brewing for decades, perhaps even longer, it’s that right now it’s burst out like an infected boil and become visible for the whole planet to see. It’s why I used triggered, not caused. I think it’s much, much deeper than the latest election.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of people left who don’t think like this, but they are losing ground fast as their democracy is demolished bit by bit by the billionaires.

Organising, protesting and actively fighting this appears to be where it’s now at.
