Agreed, in part. What I agree Americans voted for *Trump*, I disagree that they necessarily voted for the insane agenda he's pushing through. To be fair, I: (1) recognize the "normie" voters who pulled the lever for Trump should have paid closer attention to what he was actually saying; and (2) have a good deal of anger for those who voted for him specifically because they thought he wouldn't actually do many of the things he campaigned on. Nonetheless, I think part of the problem is that most people - i.e. non-political junkies -don't pay attention to politics when the system is functioning as it should. Hence, the relative normalcy of the Biden administration presumably kept most voters from paying attention to what Trump was laying the groundwork for until deep into the general. Those same people presumably waived off concerns about project 2025 as histrionics, telling themselves that a second Trump administration would be largely the same as the first. Unfortunately, they didn't realize a moron with a flamethrower is far more dangerous once someone's given him the instruction manual. (Thank's for *that*, Heritage Foundation.) Unfortunately, we're now at the point in the show where Walter White has fully transitioned to Heisenberg.

Like this way of looking at our non-informed populace. Which still believes that they who speak first and they who speak loudest are the ones to believe .
