15. Is this news?

They also believe Democrats are drinking the blood of babies. They think trump was sent by God to save America. They think trump is president now. They think Italian satellites changed votes in the 2020 election (or some shit). They're making crank calls to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. They believe there are tracking chips in vaccines. And on and on.

These poor wretched souls are a permanent reality for at least a few more election cycles/COVID seasons. It's less important to focus on them since they will always vote maga/gopper. Better to focus on "swing" voters who sometimes still vote for the maga/gopper candidates who cater to those poor wretched souls. Those "swing" voters think that they are executing some sort of electoral equilibrium when in fact they're just helping out the maga/gopper misinformation machine. The challenge is how to get those voters to stop swinging back to the maga mire.
