      The dumb also seem to think they can partake in his life of spoon-fed privilege and avoid all consequences. I will never understand how he got these people so duped.

      Same with how so many religious admire such an amoral, vile, rapist and thief. He’s well beyond false idol status with tons of them.

        They are stupid. So, kind of tautologically, they reason poorly and make bad decisions.

        100s of millions of dollars into his campaign/propaganda/lies/corruption assisted a bit I’d wager.

          You have to already have a lot of people prepped as this stupid and receptive to it though, first.

          If we had a well-fed, financially secure and stable, well-educated populace with very high rates of literacy and numeracy, as well as steeped in things like media literacy and critical thinking, they would not be so receptive to this.
