This is one of those things that I can't wrap my head around.

I can understand the mental gymnastics people make about corrupt politicians but voting for Bolsonaro (or Trump) is like saying ¨if this person was my neighbor, he would be killed in a week, that's how awful he is, but I'm going to vote for him anyway¨ like...

the mental gymnastics these people make are amazing and I can't stop thinking about this clip

West Virginia voter who says he lost three cousins in mine disaster tied to Don Blankenship tells @TomLlamasABC he's voting for the coal baron anyway.

They don't care, i have a friend who is gay and his conservative brother (that supports him btw) voted on bolsonaro proudly. Another said to me these days "i voted on him bc i didn't have a choice but didn't expect things would be so awful". My dad decided to pay the fine and no vote, now he only complains things are bad.
