    there’s a certain kind of privilege in that. like, life must be so good for people to not even bother knowing who’s president.

      Did you ever read 1984? The proles don’t care because their lives have continued on as normal. It is definitely its own kind of privilege, but you’re also talking about someone who is making a tiny income working at a coffee shop. She’s poor and uneducated, which will continue to be to her benefit. I didn’t see her, but she’s probably white too since this is Indiana.

      She’s still a woman though.
