Other than brainwashing or pure ignorance, I just don't understand. I have people I were friends with years ago (no longer because of time and distance) who I used to think were pretty smart. They now act as if they would go to their grave supporting the dems, even if biden, hillary, and obama personally taxed them 100% of their paychecks.
It's pretty easy for the brainwashers to brainwash these days. Young folks don't have much hope when US corporations sell out and give good paying jobs to foreigners over American born citizens with degrees. They can't afford houses, cars, food, newest cell phones, clothes they want, or whatever because of interest rates and inflation. They aren't used to hard times because they have been sheltered by their parents and our society their whole young life then Covid and Joe Biden hit and turned the world upside down. Easy to see how Socialism is getting more than a little traction in the new DEM party.
Socialist ideals probably sound all rosy and grand to easily manipulated people, unless you know the real history of it which I guess is not covered in schools now, and brainwashing the youth in schools has been going on forever by Liberal teachers and professors.
