    That’s the neat part, they don’t most of the time. But people get this idea that “well if they are not voting Biden then they are voting trump” then go shock pikachu when the numbers of those who don’t vote come out. We ignore it or blame it on the youth for being stupid and then we repeat the mistakes. Because that’s easier then dealing with the cognitive dissonance

      And even if not voting and making it easier for the greater evil to win IS stupid, that’s not an excuse! Stupid people are a core Republican constituency, but they do the work to trigger them to go vote.

      So sure, let’s say young people are stupid. What are you going to do about it? Because complaining about how they didn’t be not-stupid isn’t getting any more votes.
