To play the Devil's advocate: If you really believed the election was stolen, you'd sort of have to do something about it. It be a patriotic duty.
Imagine the timeline with Gore as POTUS
What we outside fail to realize is these people live in a wholly different reality.
I haven't watched television with any ads in years. So when I go to a hotel and I'm lounging watching cable and seeing commercials it is jarring just what a different world it is from what I remember before. And for people who never left it, it isn't jarring at all. It's their normal.
Now imagine you only watched Fox or OANN. It's your very reality that's twisted all askew. It's hard to hold that against many of the MAGA crowd and speaks to just how influential misinformation campaigns can be.
Get yourself a Roku stick. Set it up at home and log into your streaming apps. Now any time you're in a hotel you can just plug it into your hotel tv and bam, bye bye shitty hotel tv.
If I have to sit in the room for long enough I'm not watching TV anyway, I'm on my laptop or steam deck. Otherwise if I'm in a hotel room I'm somewhere I'd rather be out and about doing things anyway. Besides, as much as society's reality is skewed by the inundation of commercials, so to is mine by not experiencing it like everyone else. So I try to, from time to time. See what the other side is seeing.
