Re: Trump Thread
I think it's a combination of both. Of course every Republican is not a MAGA-Manic, and you're right that many folks are just idiots seeking to advance their own agenda---hence QAnon. And now those brain-dead morons have put one of their own into Congress. Doesn't bode well.....If we have reason to believe that many voters don't even know Trump's own positions/policies, then two choices:
A. Monty is correct that Republican voters are at their core signing up for an authoritarian culture wars that keep their class/group above others on the socioeconomic level regardless of whether the overall standard of living rises or falls.
B. People are extremely fucking dumb and too easily suckered in by media bubbles (my theory).
On a different note, moderate Democrats are just plain dumb. They are bemoaning the failure to retake the Senate, and the loss of seats in the House, blaming progressives:

And yet, nearly every seat lost in the House was a moderate. Meanwhile, all four members of the"Squad" retained their seats, as well as Jayapal in Washington, and Pocan in Wisconsin, while two other progressives, Jamaal Bowman in New York and Cori Bush in Missouri won their right to go to Congress. Instead of blaming the left, how about evaluating how a moderate stance might not cut it anymore, considering the ever growing number of young people coming of voting age. Ya might want to take a look at what moves the needle for them
