@JonChevreau π¨π¦ Too bad most Americans didn't do their research, and trusted Orange when he said the exporting countries would pay them.
Just like Mexico pays that expensive wall...

It comes back to the US media ecosystem and how, due to a 40 year long shift blurring the lines between news and opinion programming in US media, most voters here don't believe accurate news about politics.
I feel like I have a whole essay on this bottled up in my head and at some point I need to sit down and just write it.
But that's if they even pay attention to the news. Most USians don't, and just vote in every election as a referendum on the ruling party, based on their own general vibes on how their life is going. People thought things were shitty in 2020, so they voted for the opposition party. People thought things were still shitty in 2024 so they voted for the opposition party again.
