Getting the orange clown elected, twice, shows how awful the entire country is. It’s not a few nut bars it’s endemic.

Brainwashing can make you do a lot of awful things.

In my own country, I've seen really nice people support a bad regime.

It's bad people taking advantage of the ignorance of good people

Americans have some of the best access to information on the planet. Americans aren't stupid or ignorant, we're performers. That's why you give those friendly sounding Americans the benefit of the doubt. All those conservatives playing innocent like they don't know exactly what they did are definitely enthralled, but a big part of it is manipulating others' perception of them so they're treated like innocent children who can't be held responsible for their decisions. A lot of them even believe their own performance and free themselves from all accountability even from themselves. I've lived around conservatives for a long time. The only way to be an American conservative is to live exclusively in bad faith.
