9. It really stuck with me, that lunch

Like, they were blaming Whitmer for their kids having to wear mask in school, like that was a bad thing. Just goes to show how detached from reality their news sources must be. Whitmer is very popular here. They were just acting like her losing was a foregone conclusion.

Conservatives lack empathy to the extent that they live in a bubble they've created that lets them assume everyone thinks just like they do. To them it's just "common sense" that everyone thinks just like they do, to the rest of the state, we see the full rainbow of ideas.

For me, and most of the state, Whitmer has been great, but I can totally see why some on the Right don't agree. She butted heads with their god, Trump. She's been at the forefront of leading in the fight against Covid, something they believe isn't a threat to public health. She's a champion for a woman's right to choose, I can see why that's unappealing to about 1/4th the people here.

Dems must never lose that ability to see the other side's point of view, it's an incredible strength.
