What’s actually happening is that our understanding of events is not formed by our individual analysis but by observing shared belief within our social network, and fascists exploit this by spreading the notion that are allowed and expected to violate basic norms, which people unconsciously adopt - ThreadSky

Shared belief is the basis of civic action. You cannot coordinate actions when you don't know what to expect. Understanding without action feels useless. People don't like useless things, so it gets discarded.

Trumpers claim they are merely "fighting back" against systemic corruption - and on that basis they rationalize trampling on the rules of the system.

They undoubtedly saw Trump's amoral contempt for rules as an asset.

Those claims are just mirroring, they prefer the person representing them doing things they would've done, to their opponent being able to do those things (they cannot imagine their opponents doing anything else)

Most people, instead of thinking, will transition seamlessly from “The Clinton email scandal was intolerable to voters” to “Only tiresome Dem shills could mind if great man of industry Musk got all the private data in the US delivered to his personal laptop” - if those are the social consensuses

Humans are tribal & hierarchical, even tho in the U.S. we pretend we aren't.
And shocking as it is, after all the disasters they've caused, we still put the GOP at the top of the socioeconomic hierarchy. We've given them so much $ & power, we think they're superior & let them lead us where they want

There’s a chart showing all the Republican donors who own the media outlets, but I can’t find it now.

Also I think he has dirt on everyone.

There was that October recording of Epstein knowing everything going on in Trump’s White House like he hung out there 24/7.
