I recently watched a video (sorry don’t remember who or what title) interviewing voters in Alaska. Everyone was trying to make the point that they are independent. They voted for Trump but also policies that were more progressive. They could articulate ideas like everyone should earn enough tonest so a higher minimum wage is good. They went through a bunch of such issues where I could not and say yep. And they gave good reasons
But always came back to also voting for Trump. Even when the just had a discussion favoring policies Trump is against. I never heard any justification for it. They’re not independent, they’re brainwashed, they can’t connect the logic
I've seen multiple write ups about Trump voters who have had their spouses abducted by ICE and deported. Almost every single one of them say they'd vote for Trump again.
Logic is beyond almost all of them.
Tinfoil hats?
