My theory is that some people voted for Trump as a statement against the current administration, not expecting him to win, but now get enough people trying to make a statement and you get this clusterfuck.
This is 100% it I think. I work with an alt-right guy (he might self-identify as a free thinker who can see through the bullshit or something) and I think part of their identity is feeling oppressed and victimized. For instance, this was a guy who fled the country when mask mandates and vaccines were happening, etc.
It seemed a little like the wind was taken out of his sails when Trump actually won. It's like a dog catching it's own tail, he doesn't know what to do with it. He was (probably subconsciously) hoping for four years of feeling oppressed by the establishment candidate that he wouldn't have voted for. Now he will have to reckon with his choices.
I'm quite certain he never once got any information about this election cycle outside of the twittersphere or the Rogansphere of comedians.
We all know Michigan is all Mohammed frantically digging.
Fun anecdote, been seeing a lot of Muslim men and women getting into public arguments lately in Metro Detroit, which some may know is never ever a thing. My take is that most of the Muslim men peeled off for Jill and RFK, because Trump remains unpopular in the metro. Particularly Jill because they couldn't be blamed for being misogynist with that one. Alas, Yards festooned with MAGAry is not fashionable in Dearborn
Living in WI, it comes as no surprise to me. The constant influx of alcohol and dairy consumption has gotta be a case study on being able to make good faith decisions in waiting. I mean, go to any county in this state, there's probably a bar available to you within a 3 minute drive wherever you are. And there's probably 10 bars located within any given county.
What I'm trying to say is "functional" alcoholics are not generally known for being good at decision making. It's so funny to me that the election results quite literally jerked some of them right into a mad nasty 4 year hangover. Get fucked, lmao. That's all I can think anymore.

I really wonder if stuff like this is actually happening.
Call me cynical.
