I’d argue, against this very liberal and Liberal idea of herds of unintelligent cattle being prodded around, that it’s not about “””low information voters””” or people who simply don’t care about elections the way they don’t care about baseball, but about social forces. If you went to college, you learned the shibboleths, the mores, the platitudes, and the cosmopolitan elitism. If you didn’t go to college, you eye these elitist assholes… gee, why do they want me to think like them? Subordinate my small business to international finance capital? Beg for decency? Have you no shame, sir? No way. I think of the Obama-Trump voters. Neoliberal policy didn’t meaningfully help them over 8 years. The bank stole their house. Every decade at this point a new capitalist crisis erupts. Bankers get bailed out, but the mess remains. Trump says this whole system is fake. The news media is lying. No more wars. This showman coke businessman americana archetype hits their sensibilities hard. Liberals can’t comprehend it (this is why most anti Trump satire is cringe or tinged with cringe) and just resort to poor white redneck/thinly veiled racism against Latinos for not liking the deporter in chief/scolding. It’s hard to explain in short, but American politics is total spectacle and thinking it’s about information makes you a nerd.
