We should condemn both? Is that what you are suggesting, David?

Undecided voters are well known in academia and political science circles to be the most uninformed, illiterate, and dumbest voters of the electorate.

I would have once believed that, but now they're the second most uninformed and unintelligent portion of the electorate.

I get what you're saying, but disagree. MAGA voters are just clear in who they hate and want to get one over on them. Like, they know their peckerwood prince is awful, but are happy his policies are screwing over others just slightly more than themselves.

No. Misinformation is worse than no information. MAGAs actively believe false things that undecideds are too apathetic to have an opinion on. These days MAGAS are certainly more uninformed than a Rip Van Winkle who has been asleep for 50 years and woke up yesterday.

You act like misinformation doesn’t impact undecided voters. If someone is too apathetic to do basic fact-checking, they’re actually more vulnerable to absorbing misinformation without realizing it. Misinformation is often what causes that apathy in the first place. It creates a "both sides lie anyway" mindset that leads people to disengage.

Even worse, they don't stop believing those things even when literally contradicted by the person they "quote"

IT's true for a small portion I think.

Or I have to think because the alternative is that there are way more bloodthirsty hate-filled people out there than I want to accept.

You're describing conservatives who are too cowardly to call themselves Republicans.
