Olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social: I would love to see orders of magnitude more discussion about what "swing voters" should figure out, deal with, suck up, get a clue about, etc and orders of magnitude less discussion about how protestors should coddle random third party's hallucinations about this section of the electorate. "how could someone fly a Mexican flag at an LA protest? Heavens, what will Steve, a downwardly mobile CPA in Madison Wisconsin make of this affront?" personally if - big if - Steve is paying attention I think he should probably just fucking deal with it?

I mean, that's essentially how many people live. They intermittently get their news from Instagram, and they vote based on that. Most of the information they consume is reality TV, beer advertisements, and friends showing off the new sneakers they got. They spend most of their time working and taking care of their kids (yeah, somehow they thought that was a good idea), and then they vote. They truly are the NPCs of the world.
