I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Full BlueAnon territory here. Incredible the mental gymnastics y'all will go through to reaffirm your loyalty to the state and hatred of the state's enemies, even when it's blatantly acting against you.
It can't be that the world is a complex place filled with many different factions each pursuing different interests. No, everyone is either with us or against us, and everyone who's against us is secretly controlled by Putin. Trump? Putin puppet. Hamas? Putin puppet. Me, and anyone else who challenges your ideas? Putin puppet, I'm sure. The world is no more complex than a Saturday morning cartoon with one big bad pulling all the strings. There's no need to ever study anything, let along actually try to see things from other perspectives (the very idea borders on treason!).
Let's assume that your conspiracy theory is correct. Why then, is Putin's puppet Trump committed to fighting Putin's puppet Hamas? It's a blatant contradiction, but it doesn't matter, because it's not about making any sense. It's nowhere close to being a serious analysis.
Every country in the world has it's own culture and history and narratives and internal factions and motivations, but all of that has to be mashed down into good guys and bad guys within the scope of modern American politics. You would do far better to step back from the news and read an actual book.
