You cant expect conservative voters to know the policies they are voting for, they cant read.
“I’m very proud of Gov. DeSantis and everything he’s done. I really am,’’ said Gonzmart, a lifelong Republican. “[…] But my concern is the governor putting in a law that says those who have an expired driver’s license cannot renew it because they’re no longer legal. They cannot work. Their papers are no longer legal.”
It’s not that “they’re no longer legal”. They were never legal. You just thought it didn’t matter.
Also, what happened to all that wailing about how we need to get rid of all the “illegal immigrants” because “they took our jobs”?
Isn’t it actually a crime to deliberately hire undocumented immigrants in Florida. I’m sure it is.
Why is this guy drawing attention to the fact that he committed a crime?
Do these people ever reflect and think about what they’re about to do, do or have done? It’s baffling how they’re surprised.
No, they don’t. We had Brexit. It was a smörgåsbord of stupid like that.
"We want freedom of movement cancelled so EU folks can’t come in here, "followed by “What do you mean we don’t have freedom of movement and can’t just live in Spain?”
“All immigrants gone!” followed by “why are there no cheap immigrants anymore for working in the field and drive trucks?”
“Close the borders!” and “Why is there suddenly this long line and why do we need custom checks and passports?”
“After we made it more difficult for foreigners to come here, we have less tourists. Somebody do something!”
“When we said you can’t fish here, we meant we can still fish over there.”
“Yeah, I know we cancelled all cooperation but we really would like the subsidies to continue.”
You can keep going. There were enough predictions that this was exactly what would happen, it was ignored in emotional flurry, ideologies and name calling. Of course there is a lot of “why didn’t anyone warn us?” afterwards. I conclude they’re not really thinking, just mostly reacting emotionally and going along with the peer group who has a very high “F U I got mine” content.
Yes, but I’d expect them to learn at some point. But they keep being idiots.
See, this is how people end up being in favour of eugenics.
It’s not that stupid people exist, it’s that they keep being stupid, and bafflingly self-destructive, even after their stupidity is demonstrably demonstrated to them.
It’s the lost-cause fallacy. They’re incapable of self reflection because it could compromise their entire identity/beliefs.
Talk to anyone who worked in hospitals during the height of COVID. All of them encountered people gasping for air as their lungs filled with covid pneumonia, on their death beds insisting they did not have covid, and it was all a government conspiracy. Even on their deathbeds, these people still cannot accept reality.
People still eat meat and dairy. And they know innocent animals are killed and tortured because of it.
