(4,813 posts)US voters couldn't be bothered to vote against an actual authoritarian Strong Leader who wouldn't commit to accepting the election results if he lost.
About one third don't really care one way or the other as long as they get their hamberders and sportsball. They don't know where we are now, how we got here, or how we can get out of this mess. And they don't really care.
But when the end product of the digestive process hits the oscillating electrical appliance and their hamberders and sportsball are interrupted they may become engaged enough to participate in the electoral process.
They will be largely ignorant of what has happened. Let's hope that the Democratic leadership has a vigorous educational program to counter the firehose of lies and misinformation that the Republicans will spew.
