They may think that they do. But it won’t take long for all of those “politics doesn’t affect me so I don’t really care” people (who, let’s face it, vote for Trump if they vote at all) to figure out just how wrong they are after the GOP dismantles the administrative state.
Suddenly it’s going to be:
“where are my food stamps?”,
“why is my drinking water brown and smelly?”, or, “why don’t I have any drinking water?”,
“why did that bridge have to collapse while my mother was driving on it?”,
“why can’t I go outside without my eyes burning and my throat closing up?”,
“where is my diabetes medication that usually comes in the mail every month?”,
“why can I no longer go out to eat without getting sick?”,
“why is this medicine that I’ve been taking for years suddenly varying wildly in actual dose and lacking in any quality control?”
Etc.
Can’t wait to see all the creative ways they attempt to blame Democrats
Yeah it is just mind boggling how these things can just pile up, and people are able to ignore the cognitive dissonance (or have trained themselves to get rid of it completely).

“They should have convinced me to vote for them!”
That’s like when McConnell said Obama didn’t warn them hard enough about the 9/11 victims bill after literally vetoing it.
God is punishing us all for allowing the gays and the trans and abortion to exist, and not mandating bible study in k-12.
General misdirect toward incompetent government bureaucracy being the culprit, therefore we should get rid of more of it and privatize more stuff.
Its all because of private and public DEI hires of illegal immigrants who also don’t work and get too many benefits thus bankrupting us
Secret deepstate illuminati cabal runs everything, we need more sweeping authoritarian powers to stop them
1 - 3 basically are the talking points they’ve used since the 80s, 4 has always been there but is now openly used for about a decade.
