    This is some of that bizarre, black-and-white thinking I’ve come to expect from Lemmy (and, of course, reddit). I can assure you that there are a lot of “normal Americans” who do not “already know this”.

      I’m not the OP. But I’m a bit jaded as well. I come from a family of Trump voters. And moved to a very liberal city after leaving home. So most of the people I know fall into the two camps. The people who do not are few. But my sample is biased of course.

      I feel like too many of the people here really do need to touch grass. Idk if it’s the high number of people in tech work or something else but I see so many takes of what “normal” people that’s so far off the mark it makes me question when was the last time they spoke to an actual person.

          No, I just mean actual people. As in, the majority of people. The ones outside the houses of the people of Lemmy. Assuming that I mean right wingers is exactly what I mean tho, no such thing as nuance.
