Great point but I think not entirely correct. I’ve seen a bunch of interviews of people shockingly disengaged. Google even noted a spike on election day of questions about “did Biden drop out” - there’s a chunk of the population that just ignores politics and is utterly disinterested in voting.
And they’ll be uninterested in trump leading them, but they’ll still complain when it affects them. They had the power to choose and ignored it, so the fault also falls onto them.
100%. People being disconnected don’t get a free pass. It’s an infinitesimally small number of americans who get to adulthood and actively participate in our society who don’t understand the very basic fundamentals of democracy and civics. Choosing not to take a side is still choosing a side whether they like it or not.
