    Its literally just years of compounded dogshit education, which is worse in red states. Thats all it is, nothing biological, its not because they fuck cousins, its not because of lead or microplastics (lead might have an effect actually), its primarily because people weren’t taught how the world works, how our country works, and how to discern media. Couple that with just poor material conditions and poverty and people will believe fascist lies.

    It is our job to reach these people, we can’t just laugh at them or call them dumb. That being said, there is always a percentage that will go down with the MAGA ship and will never change their ways, and thats just something we gotta swallow, at least we can make them embarassed again.

      there’s been some studies on brain shit and i’ve retained the word “amygdala” but not the conclusion of any studies. Plus the people doing that research don’t know the difference between a liberal and a communist.

      The decades of overpowering fossil fuel exhaust is probably also not exactly doing any favors. And all the malnutrition. And the social, psychic, and physiological effects of climate disaster. Coal plants. All sorts of pit mining.

      I think gacha games are also part of this, somehow.
