I really don’t know why everyone discounts the propaganda so much. I’ve been a broken record on this lately because, yes, we have assholes in vast numbers, but we also have a massive propaganda problem that is essentially creating a reality that doesn’t actually exist.

In their version of reality there’s actually a real reason why everyone is coming down on Trump and it’s spun in a way to make you think he’s a victim of the “ruling elite” who’s trying to prevent him from Fixing America™. Their version of reality has Trump as a likeable silly person who has a loving family and just wants to use his Business Acumen™©® to set America on the right path. Past that there’s all the Facebook/social media fantasies people make up and spread, qanon shit, etc…

That’s not to say there aren’t hundreds of thousands of people who are just straight up racist hateful assholes, but a very large portion of the people who vote for Trump think they’re actually picking a good person… It’s infuriating, the criminal isn’t a criminal and ol Biden who the right has been attacking forever is somehow actually a criminal that no one can catch…
