        That type of voter is one of the main reasons why Trump won in 2016. They all recognized his name from his TV-show and vaguely remembered having positive feelings at that time, so he must be the right choice.

      Being terminally political brained isn’t the norm, and I don’t think we should expect it from the average person, either.

      Once you realize this you start to get the feeling the social media echo-chambers of the left are like the bucket full of crabs.
