Midterms are coming up. Wanna bet this guys punts again saying he's working too hard to find out that the country is currently being run into the ground by billionaire pedophiles that he voted for last time?

"Local small business owner utterly fails to do due dilliegence, dooms business, country."
I bet he had plenty of time for Fox News.
Now now.
It could have been AM radio in the tractor.
Holden admitted that he relied on a 25-question online quiz to tell him how to vote
This shit is why stuff like Free Software and the Fediverse matters. Who made that quiz? Was it propaganda? How'd he run across it? Was it pushed at him by a proprietary social media algorithm?
The oligarchs are using technology to stack the playing field against democracy. It must be forcibly leveled again, at all costs.
This isn't an issue of simple individual responsibility. There's an entire conspiracy behind exploiting these idiots.
There’s an entire conspiracy behind exploiting these idiots.
there's a certain type of person that feels their ignorance is as valid as someone else's educated knowledge, so even when we point out to them that they're being taken, they only hear they're being called rubes... and double down on whatever grift is draining their pocketbooks.
it's famously worked nearly flawlessly for religion for all of human history.
so even when we point out to them that they're being taken, they only hear they're being called rubes...
Beceause too often that's literally what we tell them - you're being taken. Their reaction follows naturally. Ever since I started talking about concrete (class) issues affecting them I'm getting different responses.
Probably on FB, so you can imagine.
It might be something like:

Not saying i agree with him, but it sounds like he was saying he felt certain issues were more important than others which led him to believe that Trump was his candidate.
For example, he was led to believe through propaganda that illegal immigrants coming over the border selling drugs and eating cats and dogs was a higher priority than let's say taxing billionaires (who are the ones eating the cats and dogs it turns out) into oblivion, and the quiz spit out that he should then for for Trump.
Well if it is was that one he's a complete piece of shit if he got Republicans.
Filled the quiz and treating people with the bare minimum of their constitutional rights still tilts heavily Democrat.
Research needed on a second term president?
If you take Trump at his word on the 2020 elections, then it would be his third term. Which, ya' know, is illegal.
"Then you were a terrible captain but a captain nonetheless!"
Naww... he was always a sociopathic narcissist. He has only ever been president in name
Holden defended his thought process in trusting the quiz and voting for Trump, explaining that his 17-hour workdays leave little time for political research.
If he's working 17 hours a day 7 days a week, he's farming wrong.
Even if he is, it is not mind occupying work out there. I grew up in farm country. He had a radio on, how much you want to bet it was tuned to the local conservative talk radio constantly?
Genuinely, I have absolutely zero sympathy for idiotic fucks like that.
Leopard don’t care. Om nom nom.
Feel for him. Not really. But dude got wrapped up in hype of hating the people he hates, didn't even realize he was included in exactly who he was cheering for hatred to come to.
I don't feel for him. I live in Missouri which is the state that keeps getting more and more red while shitting on everyone every step of the way. If he couldn't figure that out he's an idiot.
If he was of voting age to remember the last time Trump was in power, he's an idiot.
He's crying now, but the second things are working okay for him and he has a chance to hate again, he'll start hating again.
I have no use for these assholes anymore.
everyone had the same amount of time as you and many of us correctly identified Trump's fascism when he ran his first victorious campaign. these people are never going to accept that they were ignorant, short sighted, naive, stupid, and so full of hate it blinded them to explicit propaganda.
And Missouri will still be R+18 in 2028
Until enough of the voters in Missouri learn the hard way they will always be suckers
Missouri isn’t known for “learning” lol
I wish we’d go back to being a swing state…
Yeah there was only the year+ of his initial campaign, and his first 4 years in office, and 4 years after it to discuss and study that, almost all of which Trump spent campaigning in some way or another. Better go with the guy half the country says will be an economy wrecking fascist (and established traitor, racist, and child rapist).
If you didn't have time to research then you didn't have time to vote.
Right?
He's full of shit anyway. If his life wasn't going down the shitter he'd be all-in. He'll probably still be all-in voting red down ticket in November. As long as they hurt everybody else it's cool just don't hurt me.
If that's truly the case, then you should ask the most informed person you know how to vote. This keeps your demographics represented even if they're oppressed, and reduces the impact of SEO and internet propaganda.
Well the good news is he should have plenty of time to research for the next election once he loses everything
Leopards! Leopards!
Nom Nom Nom!
Bite their beaks
Chew their cheeks
Nom Nom Nom!
Gooooo, LEOPARDS!
Womp womp
Sure buddy. You were totally blindsided.
Pull the other one, it plays “Genocide Joe”
Uhh... not enough time to research? [citation needed]
Thoughts and prayers 🙏
Dumb. Ass.
If he has a 'contract' with the Government then what's he worrying about? Surely they're good for the money?
If not then can't he just go after Trump for $1 billion dollars for being a 'mean guy, a stupid guy'? Cough, cough...
Must have been in a fucking coma during the first term.
