    People. Voted. For. Trump.

    You can try to blame the leadership all you like but fact of the matter is that 30-40ish percent of Americans like the guy and voted for him.

    And they are voting for people like him down ballot as well.

    Trump is the symptom. We’ll be dealing with this shit when he’s dead.

      And one of the root causes is propaganda passed off as affordable education to school districts whose budgets are bieng intentionally choked off in favor of for profit education all across this country for the last 5 or so decades

      Yes they did, but if Republicans had actual leadership,principles, values, ethics, etc they could have easily boxed in Trump and /or boxed him out.

      They could have impeached him and voted to remove him after Jan 6. It was their get out of jail free card. And they cowardly chose not to.

      They let the rot fester and not it’s going to kill them or the country or both.

      People voted for the republican candidate, as they were raised to do. They don’t like trump. They like “who they’ve been told trump is”, often the exact opposite of what he is.

      A tidal wave of russian propaganda and money, and a complicit corporate news swept this piece of fraud into office, and the fox news cult machine has been chewing on them since. They have no other options. That they’re aware of.

        That’s because they’re dumb. There’s really no other way to state it at this point. Maybe it’s innate, maybe it’s conditioned, I don’t think it matters. The fact is that they’re dumb as shit and they honestly can’t tell.

        This ignores the fact that he dominated the primary.
