in college i remember overhearing someone say they voted for people whose names they recognized from political signs

That type of voter is one of the main reasons why Trump won in 2016. They all recognized his name from his TV-show and vaguely remembered having positive feelings at that time, so he must be the right choice.

Being terminally political brained isn't the norm, and I don't think we should expect it from the average person, either.

Once you realize this you start to get the feeling the social media echo-chambers of the left are like the bucket full of crabs.
