If they suffer any consequences from their vote, they'll likely just blame Democrats, or immigrants, or trans people, or [insert scapegoat of the week here].
as I have gotten older, the more and more I realize that the story of 1984 isn't really a warning for the general masses but more of a warning to those people that are easily manipulated. The two main characters are so compliant in their suffering.
And if they get desperate enough due to the consequences of their actions, they will become violent towards their scapegoat. Let’s not forget that.
