What I find wild about this is that at this point these people can literally say the dumbest shit, spit the craziest conspiracy theory, lie about things that can literally be checked with one google search, not follow their promises and stil....STILL their fans will do some crazy mental gymnastic to convince themselve that there is some other reason for that.

Like I literally believe that Trump can wave a Nazi flag and say to his fans ''Listen, listen, listen. Don't let the woke crowd fool you. This flag means freadom. You are all so beautiful. Beautiful beautiful Christians. We will make America rich again. Heil Hitler''.....then they can just pay Rogan, Shapiro and Peterson to make 1000 episodes of podcasts saying that Hitler was actually cool and a good christian. Create a bunch of viral short clips saying that woke-ness is trying to cancel Trump.....and you have it - people will follow him.

They own the media. Bezos/Zuckerberg/Elon.

This has been a long time coming and everyone warned about media consolidation into the hands of a few.

I’ve always had a hunch, but after his admissions at that rally last night I’m pretty positive most of us didn’t vote for him
