Ugh.
The problem is that these people, while the majority, are just happy to ignore or go along with basically anything and anyone's talking points. Folks like VA-issue voters have a reason you can empathize with, but the harm they're causing to get the "single issue" that wasn't even promised on redressed is stunning.
Sorry to vent at you, I just think these single-issue folks are the worst. They're the ultimate selfish category of voter. In many cases, it wasn't even the democrats who dropped the ball on them, they just have this weird idea DJT is an outsider somehow and not a massively connected rich man with ties to the GOP.
