I do see Parker Molloy's point and I think it's a very good one. I'm still not inclined to give people like Ryleigh Cooper a pass for believing what any informed person has to have known was arrant nonsense coming out of a serial liar's mouth: that he'd bring prices down the first day he was in office; that there'd be free IVF programs; that he had nothing to do with Project 2025.

The refusal of far too many Americans to inform ourselves — to think, to read widely, to take advantage of the good resources online and not the piffle offered by TikTok videos — can't be entirely laid at the feet of the corporate media who are owned and managed by Republican-loving rich men.
77 million of us had every reason to know better when we pulled that Trump lever in 2024, as did 90 million of us who sat it out.

@wdlindsy It's not even that. Every single person who voted for Trump in 2024, and every eligible voter who sat the election out, lived through his first term.
This is something more than misinformation and people not informing themselves. It's people willfully forgetting what 2020 was like.
I understand fighting fascism and misinformation. I don't understand how to fight that kind of willful memory erasure.
