So I know from experience that you should never assume that people’s politics are that straightforward.

I always thought that white liberals who assumed that demographic change alone will bring more liberal/progressive ideals into being were thinking very simplistically.

Human takes on politics are very complex, complicated and often infuriating. Especially in our present poisoned media environment.

We live in a very complex society and most people (including myself) often have far lower levels of information about say science, economics, environmental issues, civics etc etc than we should. Further, education is constantly under attack except where it is a few marketable skills without any deeper comprehension or worse curiosity about the world/the planet we inhabit. And what can you expect? Most people are trapped in that rat race.

People are taught to have so little curiosity about the natural world, science, history, animal cognition etc etc. What can you expect but this? Their or rather our heads are filled with reality shows and celebrity gossip (because this is the “bread and circuses” society).

Is it any surprise that a reality show star (who is a moron in every way) but knows how to manipulate ratings is reelected in spite of the laundry list of issues he has?

It is very frustrating.
