Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked for the stories of people who split their ballots between Donald Trump and either her or another downballot Democrat. Here’s what they said.
Misinformation is ample & fully aware “the impressionables” get targeted on social media… but unless they’ve been living on a different planet they’re fully aware of Trump’s history. His felony convictions alone were global news.
I said that years ago but times change. The nonsense they need to convince themselves of is absolutely wild and it must take a herculian daily effort on their part to maintain their collective insanity if we decide to say they aren’t stupid.
So much of what they hear should qualify as the moment they went “hey, wait a second” but they just keep on going deeper and deeper. They are fools and everyone else needs to deal with that.
But he was already president for 4 years and everyone on the planet knows how incompetent he is and how little he cares. This isn’t a: let’s see if the fat pedo is a good president, it’s a case of: we (should) already know he’s incompetent but we also hate brown people just as much.
They aren’t stupid. They’re reacting intelligently to the information they’ve been saturated in. Unfortunately that information is maliciously poor.
They’re dumb as shit.

There’s an ethical obligation not to let yourself be a rube. They failed in that.
