I mean seriously at this point with Trump clearly showing pretty much the same level of support he had in 2020, isn't it obvious that they DO NOT GIVE A FLYING FUCK?
I view it this way. For a lot of the population 'politics' and 'professional sports' are pretty much equivalent, . They are either Team Red Fans or Team Blue Fans. That is about as deep as their analysis goes. Everything else is just an internal narrative cobbled together from their official team media sources to rationalize their fandom.
The Byzantine Empire had a similar feature, only they were 'Blue' vs 'Green', and they integrated professional sports with team identity. Sort of a distant echo of the Taylor Swift - Chiefs idiocy.

Old white guys regulating women's health care. Baffling so many white women are on board with it.

For a lot of women, white supremacy is more important than anything else, and they vote that way.

Right-wing Republican women may not wake up until they find out that there are few OB-GYNs left in their state.
