If I had to venture a guess, I would say that if it doesn’t affect their lives directly (as in taking away all their free goodies) they will continue to vote as they have, and turn away at the obvious.
LIVs watch things like KUWTK, Dancing with the stars, Big Brother and all that idiot drivel, they simply ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION.
One time at work, the TV in the patient living area had Big Brother on, at the end of the show, some robot came out and gave it’s opinion of the room mates (?)
I turned to my co-worker and said “Do you honestly sit there and watch something that insults your intelligence like that?”
She was FURIOUS!
Told me she loves it and watches it all the time(!)
Smh.
Maybe she enjoys it because it adds to her intelligence.
