Back in the late 90s I worked with a woman who was a very smart engineer. Really impressive. At one point she said, "I don't get it. It seems like a lot of people don't like Bill Clinton. Like he's some sort of sleazy guy. What's up with that?"
So I started to explain few things about Bill Clinton, Juanita Broaddrick, Monica Lewinsky, etc. But I didn't get very far. The engineer I was speaking with held up both her hands and said, "I don't want to know. I live in a nice world where none of that stuff happens. I'm fine. Sorry I asked."
Smart but not wise.
That’s exactly it. Willful ignorance. Biden is a nice guy who loves his family and wants to help people pay off their student loans - not at all like that racist, sexist, loudmouthed Trump.
I have a daughter-in-law like this - not a raving Leftist by any means, but there is just so much she doesn’t want to know.
In some ways, it was wise of her to not pay attention to this stuff and just live her life. But it’s also a dereliction of duty as a citizen.
I’m guessing she has a telescreen in her house.
