When you elect a narcissistic sociopath who mismanages a pandemic and foments an insurrection, but you elect him again anyway, knowing he has no rudimentary understanding of economics and went bankrupt 6 times, is now owned by his disorders, and you give him immunity, this is the shit that happens.
