i dont know how people are still detached from the elections. i dont know how everyone hasn't been closely following for the last 4 years the antics of a man who tried a coup 4 years ago, especially after knowing he is once again running for president and will most likely, once again incite a domestic terrorist attack. i dont know how anyone can be this apathetic about democracy.
@curiousgawker Well it depends on what media sources you're following.
A whole lot of people don't follow the sources that tell that story but rather much more cynical stories painting the picture that none of this really matters so much.
So it's not so much people detached from the elections as it is people attached to different media sources that tell dramatically different versions of events, parallel worlds, day in and day out.
The population effectively lives in different realities these days.
I like to refer to it as the book club theory: everyone showed up to the book club having read books with the same title but completely different plots, which makes it really hard to discuss the book!
