While I did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 or 2020, I AM a political independent who doesn't always vote for the Democratic candidate, either. And this notion that roughly 50% of voters are quasi hate criminals is abhorrent.
It's always, "Oh, I suppose it's okay if you vote for the wrong party, as long as your candidate is no actual threat to my own ideology. But <most recent Presidential nominee> is just going too far." Except that partisans have been saying this same thing about "<latest Presidential nominee>" for at least 50 years now.
This mindset is absurd, and only proves the author's premise about suggesting an isolated bubble.
