Why some Trump voters [View all]

are ignorantly evil rather than actively evil.

The woman who cleans my house voted for Trump. I was complaining about the DOJ ousting UVA's President Ryan the other day (we live in Virginia) and she said "What's going on? I don't watch the news."

She doesn't believe he's an adjudicated rapist who fomented an insurrection and voted for him anyway. She an ignorant twit who didn't bother to educate herself so she doesn't know he's an adjudicated rapist who fomented an insurrection who voted for him because "tariffs might not be such a bad thing [to bring manufacturing back to the US]."

Given that I'm losing my job because of DOGE, I am looking forward to telling her that I won't be able to use her services anymore because of Trump. Maybe when she also has to fight for her Medicaid ["He promised not to touch it!"] and she starts losing more clients as the economy slides into the toilet, she'll figure out that MAYBE she should have been an informed voter instead of a stupid-as-f**k voter.

I really tried to be that "maybe I can show her the errors of her ways and get her to stop voting Republican" magnanimous type but holy f**k am I looking forward to firing her!
