I'm not American, but this happens a lot more than you'd think.

I live in Canada.

A relative of a friend actually voted for a party called "the People's party of Canada", and one of their goals as a party was to eliminate subsidized housing. That relative of my friend.... lived in subsidized housing and was not able to afford to have a home if not subsidized.

They literally voted for a party that, if they had won, would have made them homeless.

I don't think that the PPC won a single district (giving them no seats in government); much to their benefit and their disappointment.

Schools really need to teach critical thinking.
