I see the Extremist Understanders Starter Pack got posted somewhere, from the sudden flood of followers.

So here's an anecdote to help people understand why people vote against their own interests

1/?

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

MAGA voter, 65 yo: "I need help; my pharmacy hasn't sent me a refill of my glucose test strips, I need to transfer my prescription to this pharmacy"

Son, helping: "You don't need a prescription for glucose test strips. They're over-the-counter."

MAGA voter: "I'm calling this pharmacy"

(2/?)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

Son: "You don't need a prescription for glucose test strips. They're over-the-counter."

Pharmacy: "Hello how can I help you?"

MAGA voter: "[5 minute long ramble about normal pharmacy not sending test strips]"

Pharmacist: "we do carry those strips"

Son, helping: "YDNAPFTGTS;TAOTC."

(3/?)

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):

MAGA voter: "and do you take [Insurance provider]?"

Pharmacist: "No, sorry, we don't, but it's $$ for nn without insurance"

MAGA voter: "i'll get my prescription"
