There was a piece in the Washington Post this weekend about a group of swing voters in Wisconsin who are sick of our politics and are tuning out because they just can’t stand it. Ok, I can understand that. They are horrible and it’s because the right has turned our politics into a disgusting blood sport and it’s very hard to stay engaged without getting cynical and depressed, But that’s not how these swing voters interpret their ennui. In fact, they don’t seem to see the effect that Trump and his cult are having at all and blame it all on “politics.” David Roberts had a short tweet thread on this that I thought hit the nail on the head: This article is worth examining closely. It’s a classic “visit a swing county to hear about politics” piece, so it forces itself to be even-handed & “pox on both houses,” but if you read closely you can glimpse something else. Why are they upset?
