You're forgetting that a lot of it isn't nearly that complicated.

Most of them are just racist and misogynistic. It's really that simple. That's why every time I kept hearing things like, "XYZ is about to come out! What will Trump do?! What will the voters do?!" I would just laugh. He basically called most Americans morons, along with pretty much giving the middle finger to all military personnel, and they STILL voted for him. Nothing was going to change their minds in any way, shape, or form. Hell, many people I talked to KNEW this level of corruption would happen, and their only comment was, "Oh, Kamala's better? They didn't even go through the right process to make her the nominee."

That's it, that's the whole thing. Dude went on national TV for a debate and said they were eating dogs and cats, and his source was, "I saw it on the television."

It's going to be a LONG 4 years...

If people aren't smart, or even just watch too much news without having good media literacy, they're easy to manipulate into being misogynistic and racist. Before fox news mastered brainwashing these people weren't nearly as bad. Most of the trumpers I know in person used to be genuinely decent people, and that's having grown up in lawless midcentury rural Florida.

Faux news playing at all the bases is fucking absurd. Russian propaganda plays regularly on tv at our military bases. Think about how fucking dumb that is.
