I have a relative who has been on medicaid on and off who "doesn't pay attention to politics". I frequently explain current events to them- like efforts to cut medicaid that may cause them to lose their coverage.

The obliviousness (or complacency, in many cases) of some people is unbelievable.

the "dont pay attention to politics" are the low information voters of trump, there are 2 types of conservatives: one watches fox news, or any right wing related media and consumes current events in a skewed way and somewhat up to date and the other are low info voters people who just take snippets and take the talking heads of (fox or right wing grifters like shapiro) out of the context because they dont understand the full story,

i think most are the latter, i know 2 people that are like this(still supporting ye and believing hes not actually BIPOLAR AND JUST TROLLING)

Some of us are old enough to remember what things were like before Trump. Things would be completely different if Harris had won, and you're a fucking naive child if you believe otherwise.
