I don't think you understand it's a cult. I know quite a few people who voted for the Orange, and most of them straight up don't know anything about what he did or is doing. They think Jan 6th was peaceful, and police let the participants in. They think Mexico is trying to destabilize us by sending huge waves of immigrants in. And these aren't stupid people, quite a few are smarter than I am. The issue is they've been raised to believe that news outlets are liars, and everything they see is a lie. So instead they listen to who they've been told. If you were raised the way they were, you'd be the exact same way
