    They aren’t engaged now. Anyone who really looks at politics beyond the talking points that are delivered by the right knows how insane the right is.

    Lack of citizen engagement makes it easier to blame immigrants and trans women.

      OK, I have read some evidence that shows how when a level of impoverishment is reached, people are too preoccupied with day to day and week to week survival to bother with voting or much of any other civil engagement.

      I won’t waste more time on this, I’m not interested in arguing over the definition of ‘disengaged’.
