I know people who didn’t know the government had shut down until more than two weeks into it (and on discovering it were like “oh shit this might affect us!” because their whole lifestyle depends on money from the government).
The same people didn’t know the east wing had been torn down until a couple weeks after it happened.
In both cases they only found out when my wife told them.
They pay attention to lots of “news” but it’s AI videos of mass crimes and viral “look how bad democrats are” garbage.
That people are dense motherfuckers (can we stop sugar coating how stupid these people are if they’re surprised about any of these things? I mean dumb as a bag of hammers kinds of dumb, dimmest bulb in a box of broken bulbs, that level of dumb) doesn’t mean this wasn’t clear.
It is 100% these morons’ own fault they’re surprised.
