    I know several Trump voters this probably applies to.

    During the run up to the last presidential election, they made comments along the lines of “I know who my life was better under” in the same conversation where I had to prove to them that Biden wasn’t the president in 2020 – a fact that I had to prove to them by showing them on “Google”.

    Attempts to draw the line from Republicans’ and Trump’s disastrous policies, such as the record setting deficit spending PRIOR to the COVID era, and state of the country as the Biden administration took over were met with the equivalent of “Golly Gee that’s way over my head”. Same thing with discussions about how the Trump administration’s policies (for this term) would/could be a disaster for future generations (i.e. your grandchildren). It was met with statements like “it’s too complicated for me to understand, all I can do is vote for what’s best for me right now.”
