I don't think it's tens of millions. Is true supporters are few. Enough though to have stupid republ8cans scared of losing their cushy government jobs and corrupt politicians and judges who benefit from his amorality.
Huge mistake, on my part anyway, to think my country was better than it was. I honestly believed people would never vote for such a corrupt, morally bankrupt man.
The answer: decades of destroying the middle class, starting in earnest by Reagan, leading to despair, drug use, disillusionment and an openness to believing that a snake oil salesman and his community was for them. Isolation and destruction of life during a pandemic sealed the devil's bargain.
You’re correct.
What politicians and what party so badly f’d everything up for the past 50 years that out of desperation America abandoned those same jackass that screwed them and went for an Orange horse.
Many contributing factors no doubt, but a pretty big one is that his opponent was female & black. I bet if Dems had run almost any middle aged, white, straight, Christian male - Trump would have been rejected. Racism, misogyny & bigotry runs way deeper in this country than I ever thought possible‼️😒
Can't wait for them to demand anything from their parents. I grew up w/ a mind and an assumption to research anything and everything. I debated (win some lose some) with my parent people who allowed me to find my baseline. They never shamed me for believing different.
Oh it’s easy, during desperate financial times people looks for a strong populist who tells them comfortable lies and gets them to believe in him as zealot cult followers. History has tons of examples.
What comes next is usually violence and death before a rebirth.
My generation has scraped by as 2 (now 3 major recession) have ravaged our finances. Plus a pandemic plus mass layoffs and overpriced garbage services and products, cost of living on the rise…
If you’re a boomer you’re probably cushy despite not working very hard though.
They voted for him to get revenge. They knew his policies of hatred would target who they were angry at. I lost a friend this last week over her childhood anger to hurt hispanics, that she thinks got a better deal than she did as a child. She chose to be a victim and a monster over being a human.
1. Terrible education combined with Fox News.
2. Voting for someone who hates who they hate.
3. Thinking some charity work makes up for voting for someone because he will lower taxes.
"21% of adults in the US are illiterate in 2024. 54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level (20% are below 5th-grade level). Low levels of literacy costs the US up to 2.2 trillion per year."

And now they have cost us our Democracy.
Decades? Try centuries, if Bozo doesn't manage to destroy the World because he will be leaving it (not soon enough), and would break everything so no one else can enjoy it.
If and when Trump and his monarchy is toppled FOX news needs to be legally disbanded immediately because of the role they played in the destruction of our democracy.
What went wrong was a resurgence of prejudice that bubbled to the surface and ignited an unreasonable hatred of minorities forgetting what they contributed to this country thereby creating a culture of self destruction while following a charlatan.

... but he could entertain, saying things nobody else had said before, so he became "that funny guy who says how it is", even though it was bollocks.
Oh, and he could dad-dance - a real vote winner amongst his fanbase.
It boggles the mind. I remember when a person's character was one of the most important factors when choosing a president. Gone are the days. MAGAts should ask themselves, "Would they want their sons or grandsons to grow up to emulate someone like that morally bankrupt species in the WH?"
Oh I hope by then they know exactly what causes fascism and most will be well informed to prevent it. They will look back at us as ignorant as hell to cause our own demise and they will be on point.
The U.S. has too many racist, misogynistic, transphobic, uneducated people who lack critical thinking skills. Trump used that to create a bond and manipulate them with his lies. He essentially gave them permission to act on their worst impulses.
Astonishing moral bankruptcy of US conservative political leadership. In a two party government, the only thing the arch enemy of US must do is to make sure one governing party will not cooperate with the other. The moment Putin realized how greedy & racist the GOP was, there was no stopping him.
You are 100% correct! I’ve been wondering for years what exactly some people want that they don’t have that makes them become so self destructive 🤷🏻♀️
Poor public education resulting in willful ignorance & stupidity of far too many mixed with an onslaught of orchestrated propaganda happened. Putin took America from the inside via his traitorous useful idiots Trump & GOP Congress without firing a single shot.
Doubt it.. with the banning of HISTORY books and of (relevant and irrelevant) novels, or only OPINION TV, we can expect more of the same! When you DON'T SEE FACTS, how can a viewpoint change?
No to mention that he is a self-confessed serial sexual assaulter of married women, convicted of sexual assault in civil court, and convicted of 34 felony campaign finance laws. LOCK HIM UP!
The history books will not look kindly on this time, on the decisions of Trump and lack of action from the people who claim to be against his autocracy.

We just don't do anything.
The alt-Right GOP/FOX News establishment serves as a fool-proof safety net for the regime.
FOX News has more power than SCOTUS, POTUS, Congress, and Legacy News combined.
...which is sad.
But understandable.
