Here’s my problem with the latter. “Shaking things up” can only be the better option when things are completely in the shit. Like nothing is ever going to change, ever. But some voters (especially rural, low-information voters) seem to think it’s always the best idea - that no matter what, the person who “shakes things up” is better than a more measured candidate who seems to have ideas, even if they’re not great. It’s infuriating and I can’t give them a pass anymore.
It’s really easy to put it that easily, but frankly that’s also how you get fascism. Stop looking for easy answers. Some people are that hateful, but some people are also that stupid.

They don’t give a shit about shaking things up. They care about hate.
