You got it imo. People checked out because politics are boring…Yet now that they’re far from boring this is what we end up with. Politics should be boring and boring isn’t a good enough reason to check out. Everyone was so obsessed with their own petty little lives and could care less about the consequences of elections. This opened the door for school boards to be taken over and local elections to go red around the whole country. Because assholes got bored we all have to pay the price. The entire globe will pay the price because people had more important things to do with their lives…
