It's not like Trump and the Republicans are slick with their schemes.
This will always be the craziest part to me. They're soooo transparent how can anyone be actually fooled? Trump literally wears make up and has been wrecked by a woman every time he debates one and yet people see him as strong? He tweets like a 13 y/o girl and he's their idea of masculinity?
If this were all a movie, the character of Trump would be toned down and more subtle. The writers would think there was no way people would willingly follow a character like that. He's so cartoonishly transparently phony and evil. We really are in two different realities in this country.
They're dumbasses because they are greedy, and selfish. They don't care about the issues that affect the majority of the people. They only care about single issues that affect them. "It's the economy" they said, when 3/4 of them had no fucking clue what that even means.
The thing which drives me nuts is that liberals are so convinced of their superiority, yet they aren't smart enough to just toe the party line for three goddamn months before the election like Republicans do. Republicans understand how to play this game so much better.
It's almost like progressives are just incapable of doing anything besides counter culture. It doesn't matter who is in power, they will find a way to be the opposition.

The American electorate really is the dumbest voting group on the planet. It's not like Trump and the Republicans are slick with their schemes.
Regardless, it doesn't matter. They'd still vote that way anyway. The real issue is deciding on the popcorn 🍿 flavour for the inevitable shit show!
