People are either delusional or stupid when it comes to politics in this country for quite some time.
With rigged voting machines it doesn’t matter how people vote
I noticed the same when I lived in the UK (generally speaking).
People were more interested in horrible daytime TV and tabloid headlines at the newstands. Total brainwashing. Not to mention how anti-American and anti-Christan the BBC was. And they still only had 4 damned terrestrial channels at the time.
