    The mistake I'm making here is the same mistake the left makes all the time: they're just people. Some pay attention to details, some don't.

    And the Left has been working to create more people who don't pay attention to details.

    Plus, the Left has been working to distract the people who DO pay attention to details.

    But I can say this much for sure: elderly people have seen more than
    me. This isn't the first time they've had a good president, so it's
    less of a big deal to them. Plus they've been burned more times than
    me.

    But they also care less about the future since their time is short. When I'm 80, I'm not going to care about the same things as I do now.

    Yea, it's happened to me before. They want to get the last word in, and they want that last word to be a distraction. But they ignorantly forget who they're trying to fool.

    But they also care less about the future since their time is short. When I'm 80, I'm not going to care about the same things as I do now.

    I've noticed this too. My dad for example. He's MAGA, but he won't vote. He don't care for that exact reason. But he has kids and grandkids, which makes it a bad excuse.

    The Left keeps taking a knife to a gun fight.

    But their tactics have worked for so long. They don't understand that the rest of us are wise to them now and they don't work anymore.

    Ya, he should vote for their sakes.

    But I can see in his mind how much effort it will take vs. the impact of 1 vote (that will probably get lost or corrupted) on things.
