It isn’t great for the sanity, but watching hard-right news for a few minutes will show you just how much people do fall for this. They’ve started to openly (but gently) suggest that democracy was a mistake, and their audience eats it up.
If Trump somehow wins, they’re actively planning for that to be our last election. Ever.
I mentioned it in another comment but Republican voters are so stupid it’s surprising they remember to breath. I was one and my last R vote was for McCain which was still massively wrong. I’d vote Obama if I could go back.
They don’t know what they are voting for at all. It’s equivalent to how we drive cars every day and almost no one understands how critical the bearing tolerance on the crankshaft is depending on power/maintenance goals. They literally don’t know anything about politics and just vote the way they are told.
Education fixes this problem. Not because they become more worldly, it’s because educated people just call people stupid publicly. Calling out stupid people makes them shut up and second guess themselves. It’s what fixed me. Some will double down but most won’t. Right wing media relies on pacifism in its opposition.
And they won’t stop when trump dies. If he doesn’t win and he dies they’ll find another figurehead. This is their long term goal, it is not a momentary fixation.
