I didn’t vote for Trump, this is not a justification for anything he is doing, this is purely me trying to find any crumb of hope in this abysmal situation.
The country was in decline for at least a decade before Trump took office. So far everything has been a slow boil and we Americans just take it imo.
Maybe Trump will make everything so awful so quickly it will force actual change. Basically we were slowly heating the water and when it turned lukewarm Trump just cranked the heat up to max, maybe the frog realizes this and jumps out.
The masses are poor and uneducated. Under Trump they will get further uneducated, allowing this to happen more often.
poor and uneducated, and also extremely low information, and prone to conspiracies. also some college educated fall into the latter of low information people.
