What kind of hate fueled, evil upbringing did they receive that would cause them to think voting for trump was ever a good idea?

Have you been to the US in the last 25 years and done such provocative things as turned on the TV, gone to school or listened to talk radio in the car?

I mean, I live here sadly. But I honestly never saw much of this coming. Maybe I was just blind or used to these things, I can't quite remember exactly how I felt when many of these changes started getting real traction, but it hit me like a bus in 2016 with trump and his first term. It was a whole world of idiots that just suddenly existed, ruining the country. It was probably already ruined, and I just didn't see it. :(

Yeah you weren’t paying attention or ur still a young buck. It became clear as day when Bush Jr stole the election from Al Gore over hanging chads in 2000.

That set the stage for this millennia and it’s been increasingly more blatant and apparent every year.
