My theory is a convenience-based fundamental ideology leads people down the path of least resistance, which lead by ideologues that also have this mentality drives the decisions of masses like "sheep". Example, I was with a friend's family and they arbitrarily toasted to biden being "president" and how Az went "blue". They did this out of nowhere and I'm sure they couldn't tell me why they were enthused by this. I feel I failed them because rather than make them think by asking questions I left out of rage, I just didn't want to be around them.
