I think it’s a bit more cut and dry. This late in the game, nobody that’s going to vote doesn’t already know about Trump and all of his controversies. Whether or not they get the facts from the news they consume, they’ve already been confronted with the ugly truth in some way at some point.
If they are still “not aware” that he’s a rapist, a violence proliferator, a traitor, or a fucking idiot, it just proves they are WILLFULLY ignorant. Which is no excuse.
They don’t get a free pass just because they actively ignore facts. It’s safe to assume they support Trump over literally anyone else specifically because he has these evil qualities.
Pre January 6th tolerating their personal delusion was dangerous but still somewhat tolerable. Post January 6th they are an imminent danger to themselves and everyone else.
The corporate mass media has turned them into martyrs for many of these people. They largely obscured the truth opting for sensationalism and pedaling bias confirmation. To willing addicts Restless for their next fix. Last reality come bleeding back in and they be forced to face it.
There were monsters in Nazi germany. Many of the average citizens were not monsters themselves. But it's still amazing the atrocities a person can commit. When manipulated this way. If you were ever one of those people that wondered how normal people could do with the Nazis did. We are all starting to understand far too well.
I got into a discussion about wilful ignorance and the right with my girlfriend a couple months ago. Me calling them wilful ignorant was my compromise cause at this point the facts are out there and there's no good reason to vote for him beyond you being evil. It's extremely easy to fact check those facts you hear about the guy you wanna vote for.
