Yes, yes, and yes. This is exactly what I’m seeing happen.
Those right leaning folks who were most vocal about how Biden was at fault for the last time egg prices went up are now suddenly fully willing to blame it on bird flu and not worried about it because prices will come back down soon. And already the increasing rate of inflation isn’t the president’s fault, inflation is high all around the world, there’s little the president can actually do to control it, and it’s actually Biden’s fault. Funny how that works.
It’s because stupid gets amplified. The other side doesn’t play these games typically with the same energy as the right. Mainly because they’re mocking how stupid it is than actually believing it. Then you still have some people in the middle, somehow, or maybe some younger folks that are like: that’s a good point!
It takes a minimum level of introspection and critical thinking for someone to recognize that they’re a low-information hypocrite who parroted back what the media told them until they believed it. Combine that with the type of personality who thinks everyone else is a propaganda-brainwashed simpleton except them, and it brings us to today—where people still justify, argue for, excuse, and defend people acting against their interests.
