Some liberals don't even think there's a problem. They think movements like MAGA and Brexit are just low information voters being riled up by algorithms and populists.
They don't just think they're low information voters, liberals make completely casual attributions to low IQ i.e. scientific racist garbage but completely normalized.
Bonus points for jumping onto latinos and blacks who didnt turn out for Biden/Harris and immediate show that they are deeply racists twats who just virtue signaled before, to get these communities to vote for them.
to some degree its true. they just fail to grasp what lies beneath it, for one reason or another.
why are those people choosing to be low information? how can algorithms be so effective and whos paying for it? why and how are populists so effective in rounding up a nation's worth of fascists..?
