75. The idea one must be "inspired" to vote was used from 2016 to discourage voting for Democrats.

The fairy tale is that anti-establishment candidates pass the purity tests and are righteous, moral, authentic, inspiring. The voter's moral virtue remains intact. Establishment candidates are corrupt, immoral monsters beholden to billionaires and oligarchs out to get the nice anti-establishments. Voters cannot be morally inspired and must remain pure by not voting for Democrats even if it means Republicans win. It's all about you and your imaginary moral purity so who cares how that affects the country!

Polarizing like this has been damaging and still done by the same person and people. You can go to a forum for supporters of the Democratic Party and see discussion after discussion angrily bashing Democrats about things that aren't true. Soup of the Day is that Democrats do nothing while only the anti-establishment savior is doing anything, only he can rescue us.
