    I don’t think your average voter sits a political science class

      Yes, but apparently they expect someone to teach them even the most basic things - they seem to be getting this “education” from Truth Social & Co. now because there is apparently no longer a halfway decent education system in the US.

      I can’t think of any other explanation for why someone would vote twice for a presidential candidate who is so obviously unsuitable.

        I heard that blame can be laid on journalists as well. The Guardian is the only left leaning source I can think of that doesn’t have paywalls. While the right leaning sources at worse have loads of slop ads.

              Yes, this pattern is also prevalent in Europe. That is precisely why the US should serve as a cautionary example. We still have a reasonably functioning media landscape, but that can change quickly here too.
