          Only if people hold them accountable for their ignorance.

          Being a voter isn’t free or a given. It’s a right. A right you can and should lose, if you don’t uphold the shared values of our social constructs to do what is best for everyone around you (which also, will include you).

          That’s what all their anger and outage is, at people trying to hold the truly ignorant, i.e., truly blissful, accountable, and they don’t like it. Because it fucks with the bliss they’ve had their whole life being raging idiots and thinking the world works like a Nazi inspired Disney movie.

        True ignorance is bliss, like being so free you can ignore the harm being done to you. They’re only halfway there and so are both incredibly upset and fragile while also believing and even encouraging all the things that make their pain even worse.

        Which is why, whenever I seen one of them out in the world sporting an “Vote for American Hitler 2024” bumper sticker on their 2021 fresh-off-the-factory-floor-looking F350, I go out of my way to make sure they arrive at their destination furious.

        Oh…y…you need to merge? Sorry, didn’t see you there, but you can get behind me now. Oops, sorry, didn’t realize I slowed down 15 mph there causing you to change lanes to pass me, my bad I’ll speed back up. Sorry, can’t hear you honking or yelling at me out your window, I’m engrossed in this audiobook.🖕
