The conservative woman they talk about here is an engineer. Almost all the engineers I know work 60-80 hour weeks.
That’s the thing with lots of Americans. We work so hard to pay the increasing rent and take care of ourselves and our families that we simply don’t have the time or energy to see outside the bubbles in which we live. We don’t go through the process of researching everything we hear on the news, so we’re easy targets for propaganda - especially now that it’s got algorithmic targeting to steer specific people in specific directions.
These people really, truly believe the lies they’re told about immigrants.
Oh, no I think there is, indirectly. If you’re working 60-80 hours a week, you have absolutely no home life and almost surely can’t grasp the concept of someone else wanting it. That is directly related to empathy towards others.
You’re right. I over simplified. Over working people is definitely a tool to make people more complacent. If you’re too tired or over worked, you’re too tired to fight (or care about others). Yay capitalism!
But research WHAT exactly? I work, I don’t spend hours researching stuff, it’s literarily shit you can see with your eyes.
W BUSH send us into TWO illegal wars and a recession, that’s all you need to know to never fucking vote Republican again in your God damn life.
Still too stupid?
Trump literarily sent us into a recession, killed millions of Americans mismaningin a pandemic, and TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE FUCKING GOVERNMENT!!!
If you are still voting Republican it’s not because of lack of research, it’s because you are actively a piece of shit human being, just like the cunt in this story.
Lots of them are only exposed to right-wing propaganda and they literally don’t know how much responsibility for Covid falls on Trump. Their YouTube algorithms literally feed them false stories about Covid, Iran, and more while sowing distrust in fact-based science and reporting.
Targeted content is so much more dangerous than anyone thinks.
News from the wealthy controlled MSM is like junk food. It rots you, whereas solid information is like top quality food but it requires work and investment. Most people are just too busy and broke so they swallow the BS and keep on slaving away.
People only care about what’s best for them and their own self-interests. The only difference is that some people think ahead or have a wider view of the general situation compared to others.
Weird how trump voters only ever care about things when they are personally affected
That’s the entire conservative mindset, and has been throughout all time: “how does this thing affect ME?”

Idk… I don’t think there’s a correlation between the hours you work and basic empathy

The sad part is, she agrees with you.
Ownership of media outlets is a cause of so much of this.
How long do you think they’ll listen to you explaining all the systemic wrongs to them until their eyes glace over as there’s no simple solution?
About as long as it took me to read this.
Because that’s just how most people are.
