People who are well informed (legacy press, "progressive" media, etc) voted 3-to-1 for Harris, while people who're fed a diet of mis-information and conspiracy fantasies (Twixter, DumFux News, OAN, Reddit, News Max, etc) voted almost 2-to-1 for Trump.

The audience for Wingnut Media approaches twice that for "Liberal" media.

The arithmetic is pretty simple on that one.

Out of 100 people watching DumFux News, 65 voted for Trump.

Out of 60 people watching MSNBC, 45 voted for Harris.

Don't tell me Harris failed, and that you know exactly why. She didn't, and you don't. So fuck you, James Carville.

The Dems ran a really good campaign. Americans were bamboozled into electing Trump and his MAGA clowns.

Consider a few anecdotes via AOC, who put up a constituent Zoom call, asking how people came to vote for both her and Trump.

Voter 1:

"You're both strong advocates for working people."

Voter 2:

"I was a little apprehensive about voting for Trump, so I voted for you to keep him from going too far."

 

Voter 3:

"You both care about me."

 

The main problem is:

knowing enough about something

to believe you're right,

and not enough

to know you're wrong.

Don't obey in advance
