The hard truth is that the average person only cares about what affects them personally.

To use a more “fun” example, Nintendo fans freaked out about having to pay $80 when Nintendo’s been scummy towards their most dedicated fans for years prior. The truth is, Nintendo nixing AM2R and Pokémon Uranium didn’t affect the average fan, so they didn’t care.

$80 games? That directly harms their personal finances, so now they’re actually upset (I think people will buy the games anyway barring a recession, but I didn’t major in economics so what do I know).

Might as well still try. Trump can’t win in 28 even if he runs, swing states with nonpartisan legislatures won’t allow him on the ballot. Maybe some of the R’s realize that the closer we get to 28.
