Seeing the same old predictable jokes and pun threads as top comments with thousands of upvotes in serious posts was one of my least favourite things about Reddit.
Any post related to WWII - Top comment “I did Nazi that coming!” 5000 upvotes
The circle jerk was truly shit.
You’re getting down votes because the truth hurts. People in the echo chamber don’t want to hear anything except “Trump bad”.
To sum up your comment succinctly it can simply be said that the democratic party failed to relate with and engage the electorate, something that Trump did successfully.
Research requires a critical mind. Think of a person you know that has average intelligence, 50% of people are more stupid than that.
And I’m not saying that stupidity is solely an issue for the republican electorate, I’m just saying “do your own research” is an unrealistic expectation.
People need to be engaged with.
