Politically engaged voters voted from Harris. They were paying attention. They knew. The politically unremarkable belief that the Republicans are going to pretext the US from the commies, socialists, and fascists, send the immigrants back, out threw coloured people and gays in their place, protect the children from the drag queens and the democrats who are rounding them up in boxcar and hunting them from horseback, and lower the price of everything. In short they believed the Russian propaganda soundbites they got from Fox and OANN and other Russia's mouthpieces and incel and white supremacist podcasts.
