Do most Americans vote… without any thinking…
Yes. It’s rare for a US citizen to be in a different political party or religious denomination than their parents. <- not happening by accident
Also, most people I try to have good faith discussions with speak solely in soundbites they heard in their favorite news ecosystem. No critical thought occurring at all.

American Nations is one of the best books I’ve read this year. Nations Apart extends his model to modern political issues.
