All my life I have been listening to the excuse, that the US had to be flooded with weapons, because if a dictator ever came to power, these weapons were the guarantee that the people could defend the US against the dictator.

They did not.

They voted for him.

@randahl
And will defend him when push comes to shove

@fondoffawns @randahl

When the orange Jabba runs out of people to blame for his colossal failures, most of the cult will gradually drift away from him, while denying that they ever supported him. We just need to sit back, endure, and let them stew in their own juices for a while. At this point, I can only wait in anticipation. They aren't smart so it may be a long bumpy ride.

@Savvyhomestead @fondoffawns @randahl Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

They will NEVER abandon their Führer. They will rather claim that they didn't believe hard enough in him.

If you are interested why, google "sunk cost fallacy".
(That's not the only fallacy at work here. Always remember that there are people who believe in a literal flat earth.)

@Savvyhomestead @fondoffawns @randahl furthermore you don't run out of people to blame.

There were always jews in other countries to blame for our ancestors.
And gays, and communists and trans people...
