Before or after they report about how a lot of Republicans are privately saying they were torn, just deeply troubled and devastatingly concerned with what Trump did, if only the Democrats in the House would have followed the process a little better?
That and going to a mental hospital. I can tell you from experience that broadcast outlets are magnets for the mentally ill. Most of them just call newsrooms looking for sympathetic ears.
I feel like stories like this come around during every election cycle “this person’s theory predicted the last election results! Here’s what they have to say this time.”
This theory is pretty different, and it matches up pretty closely with what I’ve experienced in my life. I honestly have never met a real swing voter, but I impersonate one all the time. I suspect it’s what most people do when they meet partisans from the other side who they don’t want to offend.
People who aren’t directly affected by politics are good at sealing themselves off from it only to come out of their cocoon once every four years to vote for the candidate they want to have a beer with.
