As much as I hate to say it because it’s cheap webforum meta discourse, the strongest correlation to Platner support wasn’t ideology, it was if you still frequently use X, The Everything App. I would hope that would lead to some introspection about what remaining on there does to your judgement.

I'm the hospice nurse whose job it is to open and close Mitch McConnell's mouth with my hand like a puppet so the news thinks he's alive. And when practicing, I've been having him tell me how warm and genuine I am. And it means a lot to me! I have fallen deeply in love with my handsome dead senator.
