Wow how do you function with zero brain capacity?

You do know those cruises let passengers off and they come back to your hometown.

+1 look at the demographics of people who take cruises.


When asked if they'd been on a cruise before the pandemic, 16 percent of Democrats and 20 percent of Republicans said yes.

Slicing the data by the 2020 presidential vote yields a slightly bigger gap: 17 percent of Biden voters and 26 percent of Trump voters said they had been on a cruise at some point before the pandemic.

Whites (19 percent) were more likely to cruise than Black or Hispanic Americans (12 percent each), while Southerners (20 percent) were more likely than Midwesterners (13 percent).

In the pandemic era, Republicans are more comfortable cruising

Yep. It's what about a third of Americans voted for.

In my group of old friends, only the MAGAs take cruises on a regular basis. Those folks are on their own now.

There is no way I would take a cruise right now if you paid me.
