I didn’t vote for him, but I was pretty sure that his plan was to hire people to do everything semi-competently so that he could focus on fucking around and enriching himself. That was a very disappointing thing to be wrong about.
Believe it or not, there was actually a small coalition of just a few hundred million people screaming this from their rooftops around the world. If only the maga crowd could’ve heard their message sooner… Surely, well presented fact-based arguments would’ve changed their minds
They heard the message, this is what they want. They want a lawless society where they can get away with ripping people off just like the president does.
They heard it. They also know that because you don’t agree with them on everything that you are a dirty liberal, and thus everything you say is a lie and you should be in jail.
Shockingly, I had a coworker who is one of those that thinks they’re the smartest person he knows. He was one of those reddit-know-it-alls who spent a lot of time replying to people telling them they’re wrong. He claimed he was one of the most well informed people because he “reads both sides”. And by “reads both sides” he read the shit he agreed with and the headlines of an article from tHe OtHeR sIdE. He was also a staunch blow rogan supporter.
When he said he was “well informed” I replied “that’s what a lot of flat earthers say”. He got pissed and didn’t even reply. A fellow coworker of ours could barely hold in the laughter
And they knew that only a despot would be willing to actually put political opponents in jail, so they voted for one. But then he turned out to be some kind of despot!
Who could have predicted back in 2016 that giving this man power would turn him into a despot?

Which turns out to not be a significant minority of the US and A population.

Well, you were only wrong about the first part.

I suspect there is a great deal of crossover between maga supporters and flat earthers
