    Top priority is always going to be things closer to home like housing and economic security, climate action, etc. The conservative state media machine and foreign “troll” farms they (along with Putin, Israel, etc) finance never stopped after winning 2016. Cambridge Analytica just evolved into multiple, more advanced, spin-offs.

    My theory is that the younger gens are completely and entirely disenfranchised. Regardless of Trump being logically, objectively, worse… They see the non-stop corruption and collusion between politicians, corporations, and the judicial system; the enshittification and monopolization of everything. They don’t care about “the economy” when they have little hope of housing or economic security regardless. They don’t care about “the most significant climate action ever” when it’s decades too late, and they’re still likely to experience climate and ecological collapse.

    Everyone has a limit. There’s only so many times you’ll go through chemo before you tell the doctors to get fucked and let the cancer run its course.
