        It’s terrifying if you consider the norm. Trump has something like 70+ felony counts, arguably the worst orator in history, and a verified rapist.

        He’s still getting around 35-40% support consistently.

        It’s fucking terrifying how good the Fox propaganda machine is.

          Some people process loss or being lied to in different ways. And some people take time to process that loss more than others.

          Denial: The election was stolen!
          Anger: We have to storm the capital!
          Bargaining: We were just trying to protect our democracy.
          Depression: Biden is just as bad. <----- Most people are here.
          Acceptance: Trump committed election fraud and is going to prison for it

          Though I think many MAGA folk will be stuck on depression for quite some time.

          When you consume talk radio, Facebook, and Fox News, it understandable that you would think he is the greatest President ever. He’s not, he was the worst President ever.

        I agree with you. Virtually everything l, even random totally trivial matters of taste/opinion come out 50/50 these days. The country is deeply polarized. For anything to come out with a 2:1 margin is a landslide. Trump is a huge loser. I just hope he stays in the race long enough to sink the Republicants.

      You’re saying that about a population that literally voted this guy into office just a few years ago.

      If people haven’t realized how dumb our society is after that, there’s not much hope.
