When someone hands you a pencil, you don't wonder what variety of tree the wood came from, or what paint chemistry was used for the coating. It's a pencil. You might have broad opinions on whether the one in your hand is comfortable to use, and sharp - but you leave the details to the pencil makers.

About 70% of the population engage with politics the same way: Leave the details to the people who do this stuff for a living.

Do they expect to be disappointed? Sure, but everyone who engages with politics expects to be disappointed.

This pencil was proudly advertised as being comprised of the remains of all that was decent in humanity. The fact that it wrote in blood was gleefully touted and cheered.

You are a pencil company director. A CEO candidate promised to cut expenses by 30% by eliminating waste. People who do this stuff for a living countered wood and graphite exceed 70% of your expenses. The CEO candidate proposed to increase graphite spending. Do you wonder what the CEO would do if hired?

Aurornis said their relatives were shocked.

This is exactly the attitude Putin tries to encourage in his population. If enough people don't pay attention or don't think what they do matters, it's easier to subjugate a population.

If people in the US aren't starting to notice what Musk/Trump are doing it will bode very poorly for the future of the US.
