and the stupids will always be there to eat it up, like for pizzagate or the tall tale of the stolen election or other innumerable conspiracy theories and nonsense.

the real events are still a concern for rational people though.

i mean, beyond what the deplorables may or may not do here, other things exist independent of them, and also matter--to rational people anyway.

the same rational people who got tired of trump and voted him out of office can actually tell apples from oranges.

the stupids can only go one way, and ultimately won't change anything because they themselves won't change. they just are. there. and stupid. forever.

so if you just write them off and calculate from that point forward, you can notice the actual relevance of various effects.

eta, in other words, "the decider" is "the suburban voter" as they call it. moderately educated, money-minded, professionally employed, practical, square, a driver, a breeder. everyone else is fairly entrenched at this point.
