From the article:
>>>What we found is that most Americans — upward of 80 percent to 85 percent — follow politics casually or not at all. Just 15 percent to 20 percent follow it closely (the people we call “deeply involved”): the group of people who monitor everything from
covfefe to the politics of “
Cuties.” <<<
I'm in the 80% that is not a political junkie, and the never-ending quest by the partisans for a "gotcha" that will finally slay the evil partisans on the other side reminds me of children squabling in the back of mini van while the adults are tryig to get to work. The partisans may view themselves as being on the side of truth and justice, but the bickering in normally over some talking points that almost no one really cares abot
>>>For partisans, politics is a morality play, a struggle of good versus evil. But most Americans just see two angry groups of people bickering over issues that may not always seem pressing or important. . . . Each day, partisan Democrats wonder whether that day’s “outrage” will finally change how people feel about President Trump. Partisan Republicans wonder the same thing about Joe Biden. But most “regular” voters are not paying that much attention to the daily onslaught. It turns them off.
And the major scandals that do break through? Well, to many of them, that is “just politics.”<<<
Most Americans view politics as two camps bickering endlessly and fruitlessly over unimportant issues.
