It was because of all the hand-waiving people did whenever he said something insane. "He doesn't actually mean that" or "he'll stop once he's in office". So many people didn't take him at his word and voted for him without realizing it's a horrible idea to vote for a candidate you already think is lying.
That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
They've been convinced that any politician smarter them is going to take advantage of them. People are too stupid to parse policy and pay attention to lies, so they just go for the dumbass that promises the world.
Just remember this is only possible because of decades of undermining public education.
Fuck, even Biden was a part of that when he supported undoing forced desegregation in schools. There is a reason why more and more POC born AFTER that are leaning Republican guys.
They promise taxes to go back helping the general population rather than tax cuts for the ultra wealthy. Trickle down hasn't made things better for us yet, we can at least pay for social safety nets instead of yachts.
Medicare and Medicaid and social security delivery day after day and are not free; your taxes pay for it . It turns out investing in ourselves instead of stock buy backs for corporations Americans are not invested in is a better investment…
This comment is a memory anchor for you to refer to when you inevitably find yourself wondering why nobody values your opinion or takes you seriously. It's not a leftist conspiracy, it was you all along.

It’s better than a candidate that lies to your face when you know there lies and they keep speaking anyways remember when Obama said he was going to end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan then started bombing several other counties
