I disagree. There's a level where you cannot claim blind ignorance. As the saying goes, fool me once...
They're not incapable of thinking. They might be less educated if you really wanna go down that road (because many would jump to that excuse next) and it still doesn't excuse this.
They will be on the chopping block very quickly and will cry about it. At that stage? They deserve what's coming to them. If what you say is true, which I disagree, they voted due to greed, but they had benefit of 2016, you don't get to claim "they were desperate" solely because Harris didn't give them perfect solution on silver platter and focused solely on them.
There simply is no excuse and immigrants can be more racist than locals, being one myself, I hate my own "kin" speaking their own language being protected from no one else understanding them. The usual left bullshit, purity tests being the be all and end all has fucked the US yet again.
People will die because of this, be it from starvation, cold, being deported whatever and they will have themselves to blame. I feel sorry for those that saw through it and voted... But 14 million less votes vs 2020? No excuse.
This is very emotional time, sugar coating doesn't help anyone.
Let's be very clear about this, Harris gave them no solutions. Harris said "I will support the existing status quo, the economy is great, there are no problems." Try and remember that these are people who are actively struggling and desperate for anyone who will tell them things will improve, and Harris openly told these people that things are fine and do not need to improve. Are you really surprised that they do not listen to her?
Blithely shutting down dissent and ignoring people is what got us into this mess. Maybe instead of making a bunch of people into scapegoats, there could just be an acknowledgement that the Harris campaign fucked up a ton and failed.
